Prices accurate at time of writing) The book that spawned the lifestyle business sector. While some of the resources are now out-of-date, the mindset shift and techniques described by Tim hold true as much today as in 2007. Optimisation and efficiency of time are key in the quest to deploy your efforts towards your own life goals rather than those of your employer. This book has very much been the red pill for many entrepreneurs over the years. (All links earn commission from purchases. Prices accurate at time of writing) The Daily Stoic distills the wisdom of the Stoics into one quote and interpretative paragraph per day. Philisophical insights from Stoic giants such as Marcus Aurelius and Seneca feature heavily along side lesser known practitioners such as Zeno and Musonius Rufus. The beauty of this book in the hand is matched by its promotion of continual practice; once you finish you can start again on page 1 and continue to gleen value from it amidst the backdrop of the ever changing context of modern life. (All links earn commission from purchases. Prices accurate at time of writing) Investment giant Ray Dalio lifts the lid on the principles for success in life and work that he has battle-tested over the last 40+ years. Following a short but interesting auto-biography, which gives you more than anything else the measure of Ray's modesty and good character, the book elegantly presents a fascinating set of categorised life and work principles, complete with descriptions, rationales and diagrams for consumption and deployment in your own life. A life-hack book to read and frequently reference. (All links earn commission from purchases. Prices accurate at time of writing)
