Here is my reading log from February 2017. Relatively few books but all were quite amazing. And I got to reread my old popcorn favorite series by David Drake – Northworld Trilogy (which seems to be free on Kindle as of today).

\n

If there is one book I would recommend, it would be \"The

\n

The Subtle Art of Not giving a F*ck and The Art of Possibility (yeah.)

\n

Mark Manson’s book is a sometimes-much-needed kick in the pants about what we care about. An excellent read when nearing burnout, dealing with overwhelm or when you just have too much on your plate. You can say that it is a very good time-management book. Ideally, of course, we would apply what he says (and other folks say) and never reach burnout. My favorite part of the book is the Disappointment Panda. He’s awesome. Read it and tell me what you think.

\n

The next on the list: \"The The Art of Possibility by Rosamund and Benjamin Zander. I first heard about this book from Seth Godin in his podcast interview with Tim Ferriss. Seth mentioned the set of books he listens to and rereads – again and again – so they can seep into his subconscious. This is one of those audiobooks which I enjoy listening to, and totally get why Seth Godin recommends it. You should try it too.
