Three Insightful Books That Elevated My Quality of Life

Sometimes, a change happens in your life that is so gradual and slight that it passes by without you noticing. Other times, the change is immediate, and it hits you like a train.

These three books were my hit-by-a-train moment.

My life before reading these books wasn’t bad. I worked out regularly, took care of my body, and ate healthy food. I was studying at university; I was also doing independent learning on the side through LinkedIn Learning. I had decent work habits, including a color-coded schedule, where I organized my days in half-hour increments.

So I wasn’t doing too bad for myself. And I guess this is a precondition for the following tips. You need to be already playing an active role in designing your dream life. These books aren’t the type of books that will motivate you to get off your butt and conquer the world.

Instead, they offer advice to help you improve existing routines and habits. After reading these books, I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. I had gained some incredible new knowledge, and I was buzzing with excitement to implement the advice in my life.
