If your screen time hasn’t reduced as much as you would have liked since you last made that New Year’s resolution, we will happily direct you to some good old fashioned paper to save both your eyes and data.
Atomic Habits by James Clear
Walk slowly but never backwards, Atomic Habits reveals the science of good repetitive patterns and incremental marginal gains.
Revealing the power of a good routine, James Clear highlights that a one percent improvement to something daily will make you 37 times bett er at that task in a year.

What is worth caring about? When should we react, overreact, or underreact? These are the questions Mark Manson poses in his book, The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck.

Of course, all things are subjective, but we can fi nd common ground or should be able to fi nd common ground on what matt ers the most.
Manson doesn’t give a f*ck about how he gets his point across – he just does. It consists of well engaging storytelling of what he has learned through his life experiences.
