“You Can Just Do Things by Jay Yang”

A quick, short and practical read. The main essence of the book is that you don't need a road map, just a direction; no need for all answers, just better questions; action over seeking approval.

5 lessons from the book:Image
1) Define Your North Star: Image
2) Ignorance carries a price tag: Image
3) Strike While The Iron is Hot (A Shadow Career): Image
4) Proximity doesn't guarantee success. But it increases your chances of it.

It puts you in the room with the right people, exposes you to opportunities you wouldn't otherwise see, and forces you to level up. Image
5) You don't need to wait for the stars to align.

What you need is the courage to act, even when the path isn't clear. Image

7 books to understand Human Psychology and Behavior:

1) Behave by Robert M. Sapolsky

A comprehensive look at human behavior through biology, examining what drives our actions from milliseconds before a decision (brain chemistry) to millennia ago (evolutionary pressures).Image
2) Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

The book explores the dual systems of thought that drive decision-making: System 1 (fast, intuitive, emotional) and System 2 (slow, deliberate, logical).

It reveals how biases, heuristics, and overconfidence often lead to flawed judgments, even when we think we’re being rational.Image
3) Surrounded by Idiots by Thomas Erikson

The book delves into human behavior and communication styles, using a four-color personality model (red, yellow, green, blue) to categorize different types of people.

It explains how understanding these personality types can help you navigate interactions more effectively.Image
