Financial Alchemy

The point of this piece is to give you an idea of what I'm doing with the income I'm making from bookselling, how I'm using it to further my goals, and what avenues are opening up to me now that I'm having some success. The purpose is not to brag, as I am still pretty small-time so far as resellers go, but rather to inspire and motivate. If I can build a small side-income from my online side hustle and use it to get ahead in life, so can you.

Why I Read

Although I rarely spend an entire day just reading, I would happily do so if I didn’t have other things I want to accomplish. Once upon a time, I had to force myself to read, like a kid who doesn’t want to take his medicine. Now, it’s one of my favorite things to do. Sometimes a reward at the end of the day. And nearly always the first thing I do every morning.

Generalist vs Specialist: Range by David Epstein, Book Review

David Epstein's book is solidly grounded in the non-fantastical real world. It makes the case that people who have experience in a number of different areas (generalists) have some advantage(s) over those with deep expertise in a single field (specialists). This is the case even as many career fields insist that their professionals get ever more and more hyper-specialized. This can cause those specialists to miss new ideas or connections to other fields which would have been beneficial.

Essentialism Book Review

What I like about the advice given in Essentialism is that it isn't some trite quick fix. Instead, it seeks to give the reader a foundation for determining what is actually worth devoting time and energy toward. Spoiler- not most things. If you've been into the self-improvement niche for a while, you've probably heard the phrase, "If you don't decide what to do with your life, someone else will" or some variation of this. But how many of us continue to say yes to our boss, our friends, etc when offered yet another project, another "opportunity", another activity?
