    I’m new to this and it seems interesting. I use https://bookwyrm.social/ to track my books. I’m unemployed right now and my priorities is to get a job, which means most books are related to that future job where I’m a billionaire. The best so far are:

    • Head First Design Patterns : it’s a good software development book, and most “Head First” books are nice to read, and won’t give you headaches.
    • Designing Your New Work Life : it’s a bit different from the other motivational books I have read so far, and it gives you an alternate point of view of work and the workplace. This book is not preachy and shows interesting advice on how you can experience (or “reframe” as they say) your daily job.

    I stopped reading the “Bullet Journal Method” because it was filled with useless motivational quotes, the kind you can read on Instagram, while giving absolutely no useful advice or method.
