Meeeeh, book, was starting off strong. But i didn't find interest in continuing it. I will Diffently read the attachment theory chapter.
You know you have just read a great book, when it's the only thing you have been thinking of for the whole day.
Although I'm feeling guilty that I binged this book in 2 days. This is easily by far the most entertaining and fun novel I have ever read. I just finished it, but I wish I can go back in time and read it again. That book must have been digested well, in a span of many days.
I loved Katniss so much , how she is thinking, how real her emotions is, how empathetic and smart. Her relationship with Gale and Peeta. The intense fights and emotions inside the Arena, the sounds, the senses. It's like watching a movie, but it's your mind making it. You are living everything inside with the character. Her love to her sister Plim and her avoidant attachment with her mother. The throat cutting fights with Peeta, and Rue's death. The poor vibes that Katniss had, the author's ability to show you genuine poor emotions were so realistic. The fake relationship with Peeta and the media thing made me disgusted but yk, the lovely dystopic things I love. The whole novel fits well with the survival romance theme. 10 outta 10.

I'm excited to read the rest of the trilogy and watch the movie.
Book Filled with unnecessary Shex, I felt uncomfortable and disguised. Some chapters are based only around a kiss or a hug or whatever??. I found this so annoying and it turned me off of reading.
This book has some great advice and knowledge, but unfortunately the author didn't take into consideration the (other men) the men outside his culture. Not every man goes out fuc* women all weekends and not every man out their drink until death. He didn't generalize the advice, but rather he gave it to a pretty specific breed of men or culture and called it the every man's way.
I also Disagree so much with the marriage advice, the author doesn't seem to understand what he is talking about.
I read the first 3 chapters only, bcz suddenly the book shifted and the author started saying a lot of red flags and It didn't met my knowledge. I found he stated a lot of wrong facts like, try healing from the place that hurted you. Is this a therapist????
WHOAAA, Great book..Great Factos..Just perfecto. I will diffinetly go over this book again in the future, I will also try to apply all the mature people paterns & point out any immaturity patern I find. My only concern is that it got really boring near the ends of the book.
Skipped....one of the worst books i have ever read. I didn't benefit from this book at all. All i got out from this book is that having power is controlling your consequences. This book is simply not for me. All the author wants you is to pick some girls & play the cringe “game.” The book is full of immaturity and traumatic behaviours rephrased in some fancy academic writing. This book is far from the truth. 1/10
This review was maktub. HAHAHAHAH
I enjoyed this story so much. It took me into another new foreign world, a world full of dreamers and hard workers. It took me some time to realize the message that the book wanted to convey, but I finally did, although I didn't understand most of the book.
The book wanted to send the message of persuing your purpose in life “Personal Legend” believing in god and his omens, keeping an eye on his world, his vast test ground. The book also emphasised the idea of leaving all for the sake of your purpose, referring to the purpose as the home of the warmness of heart and the home in whom the person connect to his outside nature. It also tried to explain how everything a human does from his start as a child till his last days are written “Maktub” by God himself. It was amazing thinking of this idea alone that you don't need to worry or to think of tomorrow just let it for the force of every power, the hand of every action and the strongest and greatest.
Allah
Anyways, it was an amazing story. it's worth reading. I will give it 4 stars because there's some stuff no matter how hard I tried. I didn't understand
غالبا هقرها تانى، الترجمه ديه مختلفه باين...
الاحداث بتمشى بسرعه فوق الوصف، فى صفحه ٢٠ بيتعرف عليها و الصفحه ٢٣ بيتخذها شريكه حياته. ممكن ده يكون من سذاجه الشخصيه و انو عاش وحيد معظم حياتوا. غير كده ممتعه و حسيتها حقيقية اوى.
ممكن الروايه ديه تعلمنى الرضا، الرضا باللى معاك مهما كان بسيط و تفكر فى انك مش عايز حاجه من الدنيا خلاص...
Achive more with less. When I first heard this, I thought it was just another “Bullshit productivity life hack.” This book proved me otherwise. It has convinced me to follow the path of essentialism.
Essentialism is really the definition of good selfishness. It's choosing to say no and saying yes to what's more important. It's cutting all your goals and focusing on what's the most essential right now. It's viewing your time as an assest. Your time is valuable. If u didn't choose how your life goes, someone will do it for you.
Successful people don't do more... they do less. They do only what they really need to do. They cut out any unnecessary distractions. It's important to focus only on one thing, just so you can give it all your energy and progress. It's that simple.
Always ask yourself, what's the most essential right now. What is it that i should remove from my day so i can focus on what really matters only. It requires dedication and discipline to do this. It's the practice of saying NO, saying NO to what really doesn't serve my purpose and meaning.
There was a variation for this approach, which i loved so much, too. It said that you can think of your life as a whole, not just the time increments. I'm thinking of it as seasons.... what season am I currently at?? If it's the gym season, so ama go wild at the gym and maintain what's essential (doing the bare minimum effort) while cutting the nonessential. After you finish start another season.
Method
1. Explore. Discern the trivial many from the vital few. Commit and go big on only a few items. Ask 3 questions:
• What do I feel deeply inspired by?
• What am I particularly talented at?
• What meets a significant need in the world?
2. Eliminate. Cut out the trivial many. Say no to social expectations.
3. Execute. Create a system for removing obstacles to execution.
Protect the Asset: Yourself
Our highest priority is to protect our ability to prioritize. This means reducing stress, getting enough sleep, and generally ensuring our mental health.
Selection
• Wait for the best rather than settling for good enough.
• 90% Rule: As you evaluate an option, think of the single most important criterion and rate the option from 0 to 100. If you rate it any lower than 90, change it to 0, and reject it. This prevents indecision and settling.
• Accept only the top 10% of opportunities. Take only those that are exactly what you're looking for.
• If it isn't a clear yes, then it's a clear no.
Elimination
• When evaluating an opportunity you have, ask, “If I didn't already have this opportunity, what would I be willing to do to acquire it?” If you wouldn't do much to acquire it, eliminate it.
• Run a reverse pilot: quietly eliminate (or at least scale back) an effort and see if it makes any difference. If it doesn't, eliminate it.
A short sweet book. I thought loving myself unconditionally would require some black magic or shit, but I realised how simple yet beautiful it is to love yourself.
I used the techniques mentioned in the book, and I felt suddenly a very warm feeling navigating my whole body. This is the first time I felt really accepting myself for who I am.
The book introduced some techniques to use to fully love yourself.
1) Mental Loops “affirmations nonstop”
2) Meditation “I feel the loght and love with each breath”
3) Mirror “zoom into your eyes and say deeply I love you”
4) One question “If I loved myself deeply and truly, would I do this?”
For the first time, I said to myself “Hey I love you because you are imperfect, I love your imperfections, I love you as you are. You are so strong.”I love you with all my will. I love your child self and your older self, I will keep loving you for who you are because we are partners, I am beside you always.❤️”
I will summarise the book for you.
I love myself, I love myself, love myself, I love myself, I love myself, love myself, I love myself, I love myself, love myself, I love myself, I love myself, love myself.
I think you got it...
