How to Become a Straight-A Student: The Unconventional Strategies Real College Students Use to Score High While Studying Less".

in this, he mentions efficient and excellent tips on being a topper.

Last Book I Read - Atomic Habits. The last book I read was Atomic Habits by James Clear. It is a masterpiece for building new habits and ending bad ones. James clear clearly described how habits are formed. He told that the build system rather than setting goals. Improving daily by 1 percent will make a big difference. We can break everything into tiny parts and then improve it daily by 1 percent. He also mentioned using our natural benefits by mentioning Michael Phelps, how his legs were longer than the average man, and another examples. One thing I liked was Plateau of Latent Potential. I have also made some short notes on the notion. https://www.notion.so/Atomic-Habits-73699b52757e4b0d9304182782639147 The reason I am interested in this book is I am a physics postgraduate and always have a keen interest to learn about time. It will be amazing to learn from the great mind of Stephen Hawking.

✍NOTESIntermittent Fasting — 16/8 Pattern (i.e., 16 hours of fasting and only eating in the 8-hour window) generally provides the right balance of autophagy (cleaning damaged cells) and anabolism (muscle building).If you’re over 40 and don’t smoke, there’s about a 70 to 80% chance you’ll die from one of four diseases: heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, cancer, or neurodegenerative disease.There's no value in running if you want to lose weight. The most important type of exercise to lose weight is heavy strength training.🦵RECOMMENDED PRACTICESReverse Thighmaster Series - 2 times a weekPlank Circles on Swiss Ball - 3 SETS - 2 times a week(superset the above workout with Wolverines on a cable machine.)📚RECOMMENDED BOOKS10% Happier ~ Dan HarrisSurely You're Joking Mr.Feynman! ~ Richard FeynmanMistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) ~ Carol Tavris & Erol Aronson — A book about cognitive dissonance that looks at common weaknesses and biases in human thinking.🕳WORMHOLEGluteus Medius, Tensor Fasciae Latae, Vastus MedialisHuman LongevityReverse engineered approach to human longevity"USE THESE 4 Secrets To STAY HEALTHY Until 100+ YEARS OLD!"Lithium IntakeShould We All Take a Bit of Lithium?

🐱‍🏍RECOMMENDED PRACTICES
Double Your Pushups without Breathing - Wim Hof Method
Do a set of push-ups and end a few repetitions short of failure. Record the number.Rest at least 30 minutes.Do ~40 repetitions of the following breathing exercise: Max inhale (raise chest) and “let go” exhale (drop chest sharply). The let-go exhale can be thought of as a short “hah.” If you’re doing this correctly, after 20 to 30 reps you might feel loose, mild lightheadedness, and a little bit of tingling. The tingling is often felt in the hands first.On the last breathing cycle, breathe in completely, exhale completely, then do another set of push-ups. More often than not, people will experience a sharp increase in the max number of push-ups, even though their lungs are empty.
PURE COLD Showers

Thanks a lot for the suggestion, Kalraj 😁

But if you'd look at the link I've dropped on the Bottom of the notes - DISCUSSION LINK - you'd probably find them in an array of systematic and sequenced daily notes covered in the Tools of Titans Discussion Thread

But Reddit doesn't do a great job with copy-pasting so you can have a look at the Notes in NOTION (they look much better)

I'd also like to know about your progress on the Tools of Titans Book :)

MUCH VISUALLY APPEALING NOTES (NOTION)

You can also read let's build a company by Harpreet. It is an easy and a good read the first half is about how did they start the company and the second half is about the lessons on what they could do better.

https://www.amazon.in/Lets-Build-Company-Start-up-Bullshit/dp/0143449834/ref=sr\_1\_3?keywords=lets+build+a+company&qid=1650572663&sprefix=let%27s+bui%2Caps%2C404&sr=8-3

The last book I read was Getting Real by Basecamp.

It's a book on how the makers of the famous project management app, Basecamp make web apps. But it's not about the how-tos and specific steps, rather about the general overall principles and thought-process behind making little decisions and workflows.

I'm currently reading Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a World of Specialists. Which is an interesting take that disproves the deliberate practice and 10,000hr rule made famous by Tiger Wood's story. I'm a generalist myself, and this book made me confirm I'm doing the right thing and not spreading myself too thin.

Now, why I want to read A Brief History of Time:

As a generalist, I'm curious about a lot of topics and theoretical physics is one of them. But most of my physics textbooks are boring and far from inspiring. Walter Lewin's lectures helped but this book seems to be a perfect way to inspire my curiosity and get me more interested.

:)

I would recommend you to read "Guide to the Good life" by William B. Irvine. Link: https://www.amazon.in/Guide-Good-Life-Ancient-Stoic/dp/0195374614#:~:text=In%20A%20Guide%20to%20the,remarkably%20applicable%20to%20modern%20lives.

After reading this book you can move forward and read books by Marcus, Seneca and Epictetus.
