From being one of the earliest members of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, Vajpayee blossomed into a leading opposition MP by the late 1960s and went on to become External Affairs Minister in the short-lived Janata government and, finally in 1999, to head the first non-Congress government to complete a full term in office. That it was a coalition government made the feat all the more remarkable and testifies to the fact that though wedded to a right-wing political ideology, Vajpayee did not believe in the politics of exclusion.

Story
Take stock of your life: Based on your last 30 days of work (or marriage, or parenting), would your company rehire you? Would your partner immediately recommit to you? Would your children want you to continue to be their parent? The easy answer is, "Absolutely!" But it's probably not the honest answer. Your life might read like a success story, and your parents and friends might even think you have it all figured out, but you have a secret: You feel out of place in your own life. You'd rather binge-watch Netflix than think about what's next. You're living on autopilot.

It's not you; it's your schedule. Does it sound like magic? It's not. We've all heard of circadian rhythms - those biological processes that give us jet lag and make us night owls or early birds. But few of us know just how profoundly these diurnal patterns affect our overall health. Bad habits - like skipping meals, squeezing in workouts, working late into the night and then trying to catch up on sleep during the weekend - disrupt our natural cycles. A growing body of research on chronobiology reveals just how sensitive the human body is to these rhythms all the way down to the genetic level.

Yet, with proper knowledge, training and discipline, it is possible to unleash the mind’s infinite potential. In The Science of Mind Management, Swami Mukundananda charts the four different aspects of the human mind and lays down a clear path towards mastering it.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In recent months, the pandemic has forced us all to reevaluate our assumptions about health and safety and multiple acts of police brutality have challenged most of us to reconsider our responsibility for fighting racism. Yet in our daily lives, too many of us still favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt.

There's a lot of good sense in this book
This is a short book of just under 3 hours - but it doesn't carry any dead weight. The book is very much focused on providing ideas and suggestions and practical tips for finishing what you start. If you pulled all of the ideas out, they'd probably amount to about 30 practical suggestions. I've implemented a couple of them. I've felt that my laziness/inertia is intractable - but in fact it's not. It's just a series of poor habits and ignorance about how I work, and what works for me. This book goes a long way to helping you get to know yourself, and identifying what (from the selection offered) can move you forward in achieving your goals and objectives. I listened to the book 3 times, and each time I heard something new.

If you're just starting out on a quest to find out why you struggle to get anywhere, this is a good place to start. If you want a deep dive, this is not the answer.

This Book Seems Systematic and Listenable Weekly.
Ideas such as temptation-bundling, setting goals based on personal history while not having excessively high or low expectations, missions being worthwhile, and discomfort needing to be tolerated sound helpful.
However, the 70/40 rule looks like it's based on arbitrary thinking. Colin Powell may have had a valid point about having between 40-70% of the info before a decision must be made, except how do you know what equals 70% and 40% when the information total may not be quantifiable?

Ruined by Robotic & Lifeless Narration
The first Peter Hollins book I bought was narrated by the author. Peter is a great narrator and should in all cases be narrating his own books. This one however has been spoiled by the robotic and lifeless reading of the voiceover actor. I think that Peter's book content is generally quite good, but this one needs to be redone by the author in my view. The only redeeming highlight was the fact that the author himself did make an appearance near the end, to sum up the book's main points.

Basically a guy reading dictionary definitions.
This book was utterly aweful. Not only was it just regurgitated content but it read like a high school students take on discipline if he was just trying to get through the class.
It consists of the author saying a key word like "self discipline". Then reading what may as well be a dictionary definition of the word.. then he may list some more connected definitions before reciting the worst attempt at a story to demonstrate the concept.
Literally Sally wanted to start a buisness but she didnt work hard. working hard is defined as hard work. hard is toughness. its helpful to be tough. being tough could have led sally to success but she wasnt tough so she didnt have success. Success is defined as a lack of toughness leading to failure. Some of the key causes of failure are -lack of toughness, not working hard.... and so on for hours straight.
Absolute trash.
