The School of Life
2023
One of the most striking features of our mind is our lack of understanding of it. The mind has two parts: the conscious and the unconscious. Psychology makes a fundamental distinction between these two, one remaining in the dark while the other is more noticeable. Looking closely at some unconscious processes can create reluctance. We are not aware of some understandings that we have internalized from childhood, and some situations where things that were implanted into us as 'normal' actually turn out to be abnormal. We tend to think well of ourselves and often take the easy way out instead of confronting difficult emotions and cover them up. However, this behavior also reveals some negativity. Unexplored emotions and thoughts accumulate over time and occasionally appear in some events. Meditation, a method called Philosophical Meditation in the Western philosophical tradition, offers a way to process unexplored and hidden thoughts and feelings to achieve mental calmness. The method suggests answering some questions honestly within ourselves and making new evaluations according to the answers. The three main questions used are: `What am I worried about right now?' 'What am I sad about right now?' and 'What am I excited about right now?' The book Self-Knowledge discusses these questions and more to help us better understand ourselves, our emotions and our thought patterns.

Adam Grant
2017
It is not enough that you have an idea. That idea can be an original one, but still, you need to show some effort to turn it into a reality. This means that you are taking a risk. Adam Grant tells the story of successful entrepreneurs who are also calculating risk-takers in his book 'Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World'. Originals take risks just like the rest of us but what makes them different is how they plan their steps through the way. They take risks because they carefully calculate and select these risks. Creativity and originality are the other topics Grant mentions. Choosing the most proper or original idea, among different approaches that have been generated is not that easy. One idea might seem unique to you, but it doesn't mean it is going to be successful if you work on it. There are many variables for an idea to become an original one which makes a difference. An excellent read with several effective outcomes and lessons.

In this book, he is explaining concepts such as universal basic income; fifteen-hour working week; and open borders. As the book's subtitle indicates, these are all utopia for today, but in an 'ideal' world, they are all very realistic and applicable.
