#BookBlessings!! 🤠 I want to share with you the 3 excellent books 😦 I read in the first month of 2024! If you're facing challenges in time management, career goals, or maintaining focus, the books by Cal Newport, an associate professor at Georgetown University, will be like a remedy for you! 😷 Let's take a closer look right away!! 🤓 📘 Digital Minimalism This book explains how to break free from the social media that captivates us, and how to activate our passive mental muscles constantly distracted by attention thieves. 🤗 📘 So Good They Can't Ignore You This book suggests that rather than just following your passions for career success, it's better to focus on improving your skills. It provides practical career tips and important insights on personal development. And also, introduced me to a term I particularly loved and incorporated into my life: 'career capital.' 😋 📘 Deep Work Lastly, this book explains how we lose our focus and how to regain it. It discusses increasing productivity through deep work and achieving higher efficiency in a shorter time. And I will quote a sentence I really liked from the book: "I will live a focused life because it is the best life. 🧐 Thanks a lot to my friend my friend Mert Bozkir 🥑 for the book recommendations. And a special thanks to Ensar Seker; it was seeing his book list that inspired me to share these reads Much appreciated! 🤝

Hey LinkedIn fam! 👋 Ever found yourself lost in the vast ocean of information, wondering, "What should I learn or talk about next in?" 🤔 So today I tried to read a book which is little boring 😂 but quite interesting that has shaped my perspective "Deep Work" by Cal Newport. Some key insight which I notice is that in a world filled with distractions, the ability to immerse yourself in deep, uninterrupted work is a rare. The book provides strategies on how to minimize shallow work, such as constant email checking and social media use, in order to maximize cognitive efforts on tasks that require intense concentration. Remember, the positive impact of deep work may vary depending on individual preferences and work style. Most relevant point is that when you really concentrate on one important thing without getting distracted, you can do it better and faster. This focused effort not only improves the quality of your work but also helps you learn and get better at what you do. So, finding ways to cut out distractions and spend more time in this deep, focused mode can make a big difference in your success. I believe in the power of knowledge-sharing, so I'm curious – what's a book that has shaped your perspective? 🤔 #ContinuousLearning #ProfessionalDevelopment #BookRecommendations

My next book, Rooted Passions, weaves together a few big ideas to form a captivating argument (you'll see). 💡 My Thesis: - Every professional - not just the elite or the gifted - has already found their calling in life when they were seven to eleven years old. 👶 - The very structure of today's workplace allows professionals to pursue these callings easier than ever. 👩⚖️ - The marketplace is rewarding individuals and professionals who can achieve remarkable results by working on things they love. 💰 - Pursuing rooted passions is exhilarating, fruitful, and fun. 😊 - There are countless examples of professionals who, by following these rooted passions, achieved extraordinary results. 🔎 - You've been trained for years to avoid these rooted passions. 🚫 - The only way to do remarkable work is to love what you do. 💗 #RootedPassions #LoveYourWork #LoveWhatYouDo #SuccessfulCareer #FulfillingCareer

Today, as I was contemplating, I came to the realization that this year, I intend to delve into the content produced by accomplished copywriters, aiming to enhance my persuasion skills, engage with people, create valuable content, perhaps focusing on finance, that can be beneficial to others and so forth. Contrastingly, in the previous year, my focus was on unraveling the most effective strategies for note-taking, memorization, and excelling in academics. The shift between my approaches and the rapidity with which I analyzed and evolved seem surreal. Yet, simultaneously, I experience an overwhelming sense of satisfaction that I’ve been yearning for over the years. Last year, I found myself questioning why I was pursuing health science studies, considering my strong willingness to explore other interests. This realization has sparked a new direction for me, contemplating a shift towards business as I explore opportunities aligned with my current passions and aspirations. However, this year feels like I’ve deciphered 90% of things, evoking a mix of excitement, fear, urgency, and, most importantly, fulfillment.

It’s not personal. It’s business. I have always loved studying psychology. Personal development books are my favorite and while I usually order these online, I decided to go into a book store the other day. I looked for the Personal Development section and couldn’t find it anywhere. I circled the store twice and then found all of the books I was looking for. I looked up and saw the section they are now in. Business. It’s not just about personal development anymore. Understanding how your thoughts and feelings drive your actions and results is the key to success in your business and career. If you aren’t achieving the results you want, this is the place to start. #professionaldevelopment #personaldevelopment #strategiesforsuccess
