Stolen Focus

Johann Hari

This book talks about the harms of screen use and digital use and how it impacts our ability to focus and read. It also implicates companies like Facebook and Twitter for designing algorithms that make people more likely to stay connected to their platforms.

“

There's a book that just came out about three or four months ago. It's fantastic. I think your readers would love this book. It's called stolen focus. And it's written by Johann Hari. He's a journalist, he also wrote an excellent book called chasing the screen about the war against drugs, the war on drugs, and the problems with that. So he seems to have a special interest in brain topics and mental health. So this book, he, he is well researched and he talks about all the harms of screen use, digital use and how it impacts our ability to focus, how it impacts our ability to read literature. Reading is at an all-time low among US adults. People are not reading novels anymore. People's attention spans become very, very short and without a doubt technology has an impact, and he does an excellent deep dive in this book about how this is true.

From Time to Time

Jack Finney

The author wrote the book to help people become more time efficient and productive, as part of a 30-day challenge to write a book in a month.

“

And the reason why that was, was I realized I was putting book writing on a pedal store. And I was making it much bigger than it was. And so I just gave myself the goal that I think it was like 30 days and I'm giving myself 30 days to write a book and put it out. I'm just going to do it. And so I sat there so what's something that I can write about and so I use my model for time mastery. So the books called From Time Management to Time Mastery.

The Dreamer's Manifesto

Daniel Mangena

The author's book focused on his mantra, 'dream with your eyes open', and is motivational and inspirational for people to reach their goals.

“

And then I followed that up with the Dreamers Manifestor, which is a breakdown of my catchphrase dream with your eyes open and what that means and how we can, we can, it's a very motivational book that just inspires you to dream more and to step into it.

The Money Game

The book serves as a guide on how to manifest more money, but is presented as a set of principles that can be applied to manifesting anything.

“

Then Stepping Beyond Intention came out finally. We've got that book out. We're actually doing a rerelease of that book, I think in January under assignment issues to imprint the God book deal for that. And then I wrote Money Game, which is basically a playbook for how to manifest more money, but the same principles we can use to manifest anything that we want.
