Hello, everyone! How are you all doing? What book are you currently engrossed in?
A few days ago, I finished reading "11 Rules of Life" by Chetan Bhagat.
For those who prefer watching videos to reading, I recommend checking out a YouTube video on this topic.
Here are my thoughts on the book:
Honestly, it's okay. And by that, I genuinely mean it's at least better than many fiction books out there.
Chetan Bhagat delving into nonfiction was unexpected for me. It's been a challenge to reconcile Bhagat, known for his fiction, with nonfiction themes.
For avid non-fiction readers, this book might seem average, as much of its content may feel familiar from various internet sources. However, for first-time readers, it could be quite enlightening.
Rule 1 - Never Ignore Your Fitness
This rule emphasizes understanding the importance of fitness, focusing on sleep, diet, and exercise.
Rule 2 - Master Your Emotions
This section highlights the significance of approaching life's decisions with logic and rationality.
Rule 3 - Put Yourself First
As I often mention on my Instagram, "Love yourself first, then let the world fall in love with you."
Rule 4 - Master Simple English
I don’t believe this needs further elaboration.
Rule 5 - Avoid Cheap Dopamine
This rule cautions against dedicating oneself to fleeting pleasures like drugs, pornography, and excessive drinking, which can derail one’s life.
Rule 6 - Chase the Hard Things
If you’re familiar with the book "The Hard Thing About Hard Things," you’ll understand the essence here: pursuing challenging endeavors yields greater rewards.
Rule 7 - Eat the Elephant
Figuratively speaking (as I’m a vegetarian, haha), tackle the biggest and most challenging tasks first thing in the morning.
Rule 8 - Be the Cockroach
I encourage you to read about cockroach evolution. This rule suggests becoming adaptable and resilient in the face of change.
Rule 9 - Learn to Connect with People
It's all about building connections with a wide array of individuals for future benefits.
Rule 10 - It’s My Fault
This rule is about taking responsibility for your actions and their outcomes.
