"Are You Ready to Succeed?"

Sometimes, you just manage to find a book that totally blows you away. I guess this is one of the books.

Are You Ready to Succeed? --
Unconventional strategies for achieving personal mastery in business and life
by Srikumar S. Rao, 2006

The ideas brought up in the book are simply intriguing. Using a simple choice of words, he guides us slowly through a logical thought process to bring across his point, which we might find absurd if we were to be presented with it initially.

This book is not a motivational book. Those books talk about the same things about how you can push yourself to action. This book goes a step further to challenge the basic beliefs and automatic thoughts we have, and shows us that the world as we know it, is actually a world that we have constructed by ourselves...

Notes:

5. Awareness
6. Focus

These notes have been inspired after reading the book as a short reminder to myself in the future. Though there are some notes which have been taken from the book directly, many of the notes above have been written by me on hindsight. =) Do feel free to take a look.
