The Power Of Less To Get More Done
by Danielle LaPorte
Many productivity books have a drill sergeant running between the lines. Panic! So much to do to organize all that I have to do. The Power of Less is a sweet exception to that. Babauta’s energy is gentle and kind. No whistles. No drills. Just a zen-like understanding of what it takes to honour what's essential. |

The Numerati
by Abhijit bhaduri
Who says Math nerds are cool? I do. Stephen Baker's book turned even me into a raging fan of The Numerati - math geeks for the layperson. For many years I grew up being traumatised by Math and teachers of that dreaded subject. My relationship with that subject was pretty much like that of a fellow commuter riding the elevator during rush hour. You may stand in close proximity, but you never say hello to each other and certainly do not recognize each other at the supermarket as you trawl for discounts. In short I am the most unlikely contender to review a book on Math and Technology. So why am I recommending that you read The Numerati by Stephen Baker. It takes the complex world of Math and puts it in a manner that makes it easy for numerophobic people like me to understand. |

How To Raise Smart Employees
by Abhijit bhaduri
If you planted corn in two different fields, one with rich soil and the other which is less fertile, the differences in the height of the plants in the same field would be what people call Nature and the differences in the height of the plants which were planted in the field with rich soil would explain Nurture. Over the years the debate on intelligence has primarily been divided into these two schools. So when parents tell their child that our family always excelled at/ struggled with Science, they are voting for Nature. This view tells you that any number of after school tuitions or coaching classes will do little to improve Science grades. Those psychologists who vote in favor of Nurture will tell you that given the right environment, it is possible for an individual to go beyond the limits that Nature built in. |

This is the most difficult book it has ever been my extraordinary pleasure to read.

Here is an example of T-shirt folding that I use when I want to demonstrate the point that “creativity is about making tasks/things faster/better”. The traditional way of folding a T-shirt takes about 15 seconds.
