The three best books I read in the first half of this year are: 1. "Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less" by Greg McKeown For everyone who would like to do less and better, but instead find themselves doing more and feeling that it's not of the quality they'd like. Personally, this book helped me answer several questions. I wrote about it in more detail in this post: https://lnkd.in/d5_AqUNi 2. "Black Box Thinking" by Matthew Syed About why failures can make us better. About those who made a lot of mistakes (like James Dyson, who made 5127 prototypes before producing his first bagless vacuum cleaner). I also wrote about this great book some time ago here: https://lnkd.in/dZJJppke 3. "Where the Forest Meets the Stars" by Glendy Vanderah A novel that shows there is more magic in our lives and sometimes it's worth trusting the heart over the mind. Beautiful, touching, wise. And, by the way, my friend, Aleksandra Dąbrowska, designed the cover for it 😊 What book would you recommend to others? I'm looking for interesting titles, feel free to share! 📚 #books #reading #businessbooks #recommendation

2025 is off to an incredible "Boom" with lots of "Pow!" Earlier this month I answered a phone call from New York City! Then another call from London, UK. Yes - Penguin Publishers Group got wind of my upcoming movie, The Riverside Strangler, which is slated for release later this year! Turns out, they made one thing clear on our calls: "Paul - you need a book out before your movie is released!" Yes, one of the world's biggest book publishers sees tons of potential in my work that will, as they put it, "Grip audiences across the USA, Canada, the UK, and beyond!" So, here I am this afternoon, holding up an early version of my "psychological horror" book with the cover design! Launch for the book will be this Spring in paperback, hardcover, and online, and it will also be available at select bookstores, including Barnes & Noble, Chapters/Indigo, Target, Walmart, and more! Even better, my "Novella" will go on 40,000+ book platforms, which include Amazon, Kindle, Aphrohead, Goodreads, Google Books, Kobo, Lulu, to name a few. Remember one thing friends: Follow your dreams and never, ever, ever, ever give up! You got this! Like a boss! #penguinpublishing #horror #newbook #likeaboss #nevergiveup #novella

Most people get this wrong about bestselling book lists 😮💨 Bestseller lists are like filters. In a world where your readers have INFINITE possibilities, a bestseller list is a filter for their very FINITE attention. When they see your book on the bestseller list, it immediately signals to them that your book is credible, compelling, and worth their time. Sure, some authors might treat bestseller lists as a vanity project. But mission-driven messengers see bestseller lists as an impact-maximizing endeavor because it helps them reach more people and make a bigger impact.

When your work is chosen to be displayed first in every line, it's a special feeling. Amazon Books did it, and so did every physical bookstore. Usually, the credit for a book's success goes to the writers. However, as the book cover designer for the best-seller Yaar Batohi, I’m going to take a little credit... just a tiny bit. Jokes aside, designing a book cover is a huge responsibility. Capturing attention and compelling a reader to pick up the book and explore it is the designer’s job. Holding their gaze for those crucial few seconds is the science and art behind designing a book jacket. #Happy #to #contribut #as #a #bookcover #designer

4/5🌟: 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝘆𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗺-𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 by Hwang Boreum (translated by Shanna Tan) I judged a book by its cover, but I didn’t regret it. Pretty cover aside, this book was an easy read with slice-of-life stories. Something that stayed with me is how Yeongju, the main character, believes that bestsellers are the reason why the publishing industry has lost its diversity. It is why she removed the bestseller list in her bookshop and does not restock them when they are sold out, instead choosing to promote other less popular books with similar themes in their place. It’s pretty ironic since I picked this book up because it's a bestseller. So did 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝘆𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗺-𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 stay a bestseller because it's already a bestseller? #mindblown 🤯 📘📗📕📙 Karen Wong #whatthenutsarereading #bookrecommendations #ornot

"A book is a gift you can open again and again." - Garrison Keillor There's something truly magical about a book. It's more than just a collection of pages; it's a portal to another world, a companion through life's journeys, and a gift that keeps on giving. Unlike material possessions that may lose their luster over time, a book can be revisited countless times, offering new insights and perspectives with each reading. Why books are the ultimate gift: Endless possibilities: Books transport us to far-off lands, introduce us to fascinating characters, and teach us valuable lessons. Personal growth: Reading expands our horizons, challenges our beliefs, and helps us understand the world and ourselves better. Companionship: Books can provide comfort, solace, and inspiration, making us feel less alone. Timeless value: Unlike fleeting trends, books endure, offering timeless wisdom and entertainment. So, the next time you're looking for a thoughtful and enduring gift, consider giving a book. It's a gift that keeps on giving, enriching lives and inspiring generations.
