The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking by Oliver Burkeman: The message of the book felt more relevant to me when re-reading it in a time that things got worse every day: Accept that uncertainty is a part of life. Accept that the future won't happen as what you want. Our constant effort to eliminate the negative actually causes us to feel anxious, insecure, and unhappy and doesn't make thing safer (Example: TSA after 9/11 attack). I really likes his conversational style and pragmatic message.
Currently Reading:
Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman: I'm a productivity junkie: GTD, pomotodo timer... you name it. However, I find that the problem is seldom an inability to allocate time to more important things. This book serves as a good reminder that life is finite so we can never do everything we want. We can only choose what to procrastinate on.
