Today I decided to review Cal Newport's book that I've read in a long time but never got the chance to do it. Today I'm going to review "So Good They Can't Ignore You" Here is the book description extracted from Amazon: "In this eye-opening account, Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice. Not only is the cliché flawed-preexisting passions are rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work-but it can also be dangerous, leading ...

Lately I came across an AMAZING process for getting the best deal if you're trying to hire a professional for a job.

I found this to be quite useful because this technique can save you a lot of time and get great deals with you're serious about it.

Lately, I came to realize something important: most of the ways I improved myself were by "competing" and "comparing" myself with other people. Don't get me wrong here... I'm the first person to say that you shouldn't compare yourself to other people. but you need to be aware that they exist. I call it: your internal thermostat. I like to surround myself with the best in the industry, and, by doing that, I raise my internal thermostat and achieve even greater levels of something I didn't know it...

Hard work and leisure are not so different after all... Wait what? Yeah, you heard me right. #hardwork #selfhelp #motivation Most people believe that work and leisure should be two completely different things.

Some people think that it will come a time in which you'll get to be free. Freedom, for some people, means that you will stop living. The fact is: life never ends! The utopic view of life that you have in mind where you get to rest for the rest of your life is simply something that can destroy you and your motivation. Stoic philosophy always taught us that life does not have and end, so, you can't live life now waiting for the right time to come so you can start living it. In today's video I'm g...

Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium in Athens in the early 3rd century BC. It was heavily influenced by certain teachings of Socrates, while Stoic physics are largely drawn from the teachings of the philosopher Heraclitus. Stoicism is pre...
