The book that boiled my brain while reading is called Atomic Habits, which was penned by a world-renowned expert called James Clear. The title of the book gives an impression of the Physics book, but it’s actually a psychology book, which logically explains the concept of the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions. I mean a minuscule amount of day to day changes can produce life-altering outcomes in people’s lives. In this book, James tells inspiring stories about his own life along with explaining the cutting-edge psychological fundamentals related to habit. I first came to know about this ground-breaking book about a year ago when I visited a book store called ‘Cross World’ in my area. Although I found this book fascinating, it took me so long to complete it as I had to think a lot to understand the principles of habit formation explained in this book. As I’m a sciency guy, understanding psychology was a bit difficult for me. That being said, I have read this book thrice since I purchased it, and I learned something new every time I read it. I experienced a dramatic positive effect on my life after implementing the tools and technics explained in this book. I know a few people in my circle who made a significant and long-lasting differences in their lives after reading this book as well. I think I will read this book to my son so that he can learn the science of tiny habits and it’s positive consequences from an early age and become a better person in the future. All in all, this book is well researched, well reasoned, and well written, and I would recommend it to anyone who is really serious to make some unbelievable improvements in their life. Well written James.

A book to be well research, well reasoned and well written that I'd like to introduce for all of you today is 'Leading' book. It is a biographical book written for Sir Alex Ferguson; he is a world-renowned coach and he has spent his career managing a football club - Manchester United. The book tells inspiring stories about different footballers coming from different countries in the world.
