10 effects on subconscious level that we may not be aware of:

1. Listening songs related to gun and violence may be making us angrier. If I listen to one such song in the morning, the effect can be that I try to dominate conversations in my office. 
2. Nurses dressed in green or white clothes may be used to allay me in anxious situations. If they dressed in red, it will have a negative effect on humans.
3. Replying someone in the early morning may give us a subconscious indication that we are a slave to others. We may not be aware of it.

5. Writing a journal every day is like having a mentor. You are taking out something from your mind and when you read it again, you act as a self mentor.

11. If you are conversing with someone sitting on a table and your phones lie on the table, the quality of your conversation will be less even if you don't touch your phones.

Review: Digital Minimalism: On Living Better with Less Technology

Digital Minimalism: On Living Better with Less Technology by Cal Newport
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book basically deals with the idea ' less is more.' Everyone has a problem with phone addiction. In the first part, Cal explains how the algorithms of this company want you to be addictive to these apps. He advises readers to go on a 30-day digital detox. After the detox, you reimagine your relationship with technology. In the second part, he discusses some practices to control your addiction like don't like photos or leave comments on posts, having some SOP's to use technology and joining the attention resistance movement.

I will highly recommend this book. All of Cal's books have one foundational idea - 'how to maximize your quality of life by focusing deeply and avoiding distractions.' Having read 3 of his 6 books, I think he is the most practical author of this century. He follows what he preaches. He doesn't have any social media accounts. I feel lucky that I came across this author.

Review: Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker, and the Anatomy of Intrigue

Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker, and the Anatomy of Intrigue by Ryan Holiday
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had to read this book since one of the protagonists of this book, Peter Thiel wrote a book 'Zero To One' which influenced me a lot. The underlying principle of this book is that if you know something is having a bad influence on culture, should you let it happen and leave it on Karma or take it in your hands and solve it. Gawker was an entertainment gossip website which often violated the privacy of famous stars. Peter Thiel who was outed as gay by this website decided to do something about this. The rest of the book is the conspiracy of Peter Thiel to fund a Hulk Hogan V/s Gawker case so that gawker could be destroyed completely. Ryan Holiday, the author has written this book in a remarkable way often comparing this conspiracy with other conspiracies of human history at appropriate intervals.
Often in society, we know that some negative things are happening. We know that they are having a negative influence on people. Should we allow them to operate under free will and leave it to God or should we do something about it? The closest examples that come to my mind are apps like Tiktok, Snapchat or maybe video games like Pubg. Ryan doesn't take any side on this topic rather it leaves upon readers to form their own opinions.

Review: The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business

The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I came across this book when Prof Barbara Oakley mentioned about this book in her book “ A MIND FOR NUMBERS”. This is one kind of self-help book that never gets boring. Its completely filled with examples like how an alcoholic went sober, how Starbucks turned around their misfortunes, how gambling becomes an addiction, how Michael Phelps won a lot of gold medals in Olympics, how pepsodent was introduced first time among the masses etc.
Habits consist of three parts - cues, routines, and rewards. Often the cues and rewards are interlinked such that routinely occurs automatically. The cue can be watching an ad of pizza and the reward is that your food craving will get satisfied. And the routine here is opening the app and ordering it which is automatic.
Another important thing that I got to learn was about keystone habits. Keystone habits are generally small habits in our lives which trigger us to adopt other good habits easily. Exercise is one such example. When you start to exercise, it becomes easier to counter your fast food habits. Making your bed in the morning is another example of Keystone habits.
I will advise reading this book slowly since it requires a lot of analysis of our daily habits.
