Easygoing writing style. A complied list of advice on many virtues and techniques to be happy and reach goals. Useful reminder of ideas and concepts. It might not make sense to 'how to live well' newcomers, and doesn't add anything for people familiar with 'how to live well'.

In itself it's a good read. But the best is the idea of identifying resistance as it takes many shapes when trying to reach a goal. This is the first step of being able to push trough it. I often think about this concept when facing hardships.

Presented as a simple guide to success. While I liked reading the book and learning more about applying compound interest to many areas, I didn't learn anything.

I've read too many Level Design books, so I skipped after chapter 9. It's as good as any other Level Design book. Some parts are outdated. Good overview but doesn't bring some new insight on the subject.

Good principles, but many examples are outdated, and many principles have evolved or became more widespread. Gives a better understanding of the role of being an executive in organizations.

Short and well written. Explains what mastery is, how to achieve it, as well as common pitfalls like being a hacker knowing just enough instead of a master constantly improving.

Great book about remembering that pain and suffering is needed for growth. You don't have unlimited attention, so give it carefully and don't give a fuck about the rest.

Raises important questions about honesty and about the truth. Simple and honest book. Not especially great writing style. Unfortunately 1/3 of the book is about the author's personal new-agey ideas. Recommended for the radicalism of his solution that questions the status quo.

A really interesting concept that I personally experienced. However the book does not give real advice on how to use that time hacking method. Not specific enough. But it's a short read so it's ok.

The open mindedness and algorithmic/rational approaches are a lifetime of work! This book is rich in useful and inspiring information, but also not directly actionable.

I couldn't stop reading this book. Introspection can overlook cultural influence, and reading this made me learn a lot about myself (I'm French), about differences in cultures and base views of the world.

200 questions about culture and business in Singapore. Precise, short and actionable answers. It would have been nice if it was updated to 2018, when I read it. In short Indonesia seems too messy to operate a business there.

Short and to the point: just do it! Reading this book I could not escape from the fact that challenge is the way to grow. Richard Branson is extremely bold and his simple and honest lessons are great and always illustrated by a personal story of his.

Could have been written in half the book but provides essential thinking and operating framework to make startups work. It's mostly scientific thinking applied to startups. I'm glad I read it.
