Read, played, watched

Every book I read, game I play, and show I watch ends up here with a rating and a few honest sentences. The ones worth a longer conversation get a full write-up.

  • 📚Lean Learning
    20252025.09

    Pat Flynn on learning 'just-in-time' instead of 'just-in-case.' Sound in principle, but too shallow to be useful. Not really recommended.

  • 📚The Method of Note-Taking筆記的方法
    20252025.09

    The flomo founder on taking notes to reinforce your future self. Genuinely dense with value — for anyone who keeps starting a note habit and quitting.

  • 📚Don't Believe Everything You Think
    20222025.08

    The author claims thinking is the root of all suffering, then just repeats that and dresses up baseless theories as authority. No practical method anywhere. Skip it.

  • 📚Hidden Potential
    20232025.07

    Reads like another Malcolm Gladwell book — a pile of extreme, hard-to-relate inspirational stories. Apart from the chapter on embracing failure, it's watery, with little you can actually act on.

  • 📚The Courage to Be Disliked嫌われる勇気
    20132025.05

    An intro to Adlerian psychology. Rereading it a decade on, I finally get why 'separation of tasks' and 'contribution to others' can change a life — while also seeing why it's divisive.

  • 📚The Minimalist Entrepreneur
    20212025.04

    The Gumroad founder's minimalist philosophy of starting up — but too commercial. Paul Jarvis's Company of One earns this title more.

  • 📚The 5 Types of Wealth
    20252025.03

    Sahil Bloom's five dimensions of wealth: time, social, mental, physical, financial. The core idea is done in the first 20% and the rest gets watery, but any book that nudges you to care less about money is worth it.

  • 📚Just Keep Buying
    20222024.01

    The title tells you the whole book. Its biggest value was convincing me to fire 'me' — the useless part — from my own investment decisions.
