10 Fiction Books to transform your 20s.

➤ Siddhartha

”Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else.”

There’s a lot you can learn from the internet, but you’re not learning if you’re only consuming.

Create something. Learn by doing.
➤ The Alchemist

”When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

When you want something enough, it will always be on your mind.

Suddenly you'll see way more opportunities than you did before.

Figure out what you want and watch doors open.
➤ The Sorrows of Young Werther

”All the knowledge I posses everyone else can acquire, but my heart is exclusively my own.”

Learning a skill is the first step, but positioning is what makes the difference between competition and monopoly.

Find the niche that suits you most.
➤ Kafka on the Shore

”What you need to do is move from reason that observes to reason that acts.”

Watching others realise their dreams will make you informed at best and envious at worst.

Start your journey from consumer to creator (w/ @The1stReporter) and don't look back.
➤ A Thousand and One Nights

”Jealousy destroys the very thing it loves/And such betrayal is condemned by Heaven above.”

If you focus on other people's success, your own will always elude you.

Good things come to those who act. What are you waiting for?
➤ The Little Prince

”But the eyes are blind. One must look with the heart.”

You might think you can see everything that goes on in someone else's life, but you don't.

There's always more than meets the eye.

Learn to empathise and see other's point of view.
➤ The Brothers Karamazov

”They will marvel at us and look on us as gods, because we are ready to endure the freedom which they have found so dreadful and to rule over them.”

Everyone says they want freedom but few actually work towards it.

Find opportunities and take risks.
➤ The Stranger

”For the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.”

Realising that no one cares about you as much as you think should liberate you from their opinions.

Be more afraid of fear than failure.
➤ The Picture of Dorian Gray

”Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.”

The world is more superficial than it was.

This means that the people with depth are all getting together.

Cultivate good values and get invited into elite circles.

”Sometimes, all you had to do was exist in order to be someone's saviour.”

Great article from @AsheSchow. I lived thru the 'Satanic Panic' of the 1980's/early 1990's asking myself "Has eveyrbody lost their GODDAMN MINDS?!"


The 3 big things that made the 1980's/early 1990's surreal for me.

1) Satanic Panic - satanism in the day cares ahhhh!

2) "Repressed memory" syndrome

3) Facilitated Communication [FC]

All 3 led to massive abuse.

"Therapists" -and I use the term to describe these quacks loosely - would hypnotize people & convince they they were 'reliving' past memories of Mom & Dad killing babies in Satanic rituals in the basement while they were growing up.

Other 'therapists' would badger kids until they invented stories about watching alligators eat babies dropped into a lake from a hot air balloon. Kids would deny anything happened for hours until the therapist 'broke through' and 'found' the 'truth'.

FC was a movement that started with the claim severely handicapped individuals were able to 'type' legible sentences & communicate if a 'helper' guided their hands over a keyboard.
