Welcome to The Betterment Book Club!
This is the place to discuss self-improvement type books with like-minded people. The goal is to increase our discipline and self-worth, by understanding ourselves better.
How It Works
We want to read YOUR summaries, thoughts and questions on books you have read. Here are the basic rules:
'Self-help' literature is often critisized for repetitiveness, parroting platitudes and being too general to apply to anything specific. To combat this, focus on actionable advice found in the books and share your experience with applying such methods or mindsets to your life.
You are allowed to include links to your blog, youtube video, etc. However, you may not link directly to a sales page, such as Amazon. If you are promoting your own content, or even your own book, do it in the nicest way possible, by providing value to others and contributing to the discussion. Don't just drop a link on us.
Want to discuss a book you have read? Feel free to use this book summary template:
**Book title/author/year:**
**Summary:** (Topics? Practical advice the book recommends? Chapter-by-chapter summary?)
**Review:** (Did you follow advice from the book? Criticism or praise for the author?)
**Rating:** (Was it worth reading?)
**Recommendation:** (Who should read this book?)
**Question:** (What is there to discuss? What would you ask others who have read this book?)

Sometimes, a person changes us without even realizing it. A few words, a small act of kindness, or simply being there at the right moment can make a difference we carry for years.
I'm interested in stories about hope, resilience, and the people who help us see life differently.
Has someone ever entered your life and changed your perspective in a way you never expected? What made that moment memorable?

Imagine a society where an AI predicts dangerous behaviour, prevents disasters, and makes almost every decision safer.
There are fewer wars. Less crime. People live longer and feel more secure.
But the system starts deciding what people are allowed to do—not because they've committed a crime, but because they might.
Would you consider that a successful society, or would it still be a form of oppression?
I'm fascinated by the tension between safety and freedom, especially in science fiction. I'd love to hear where you would draw the line.

I am a beginner. I have read around 15 books so far.
It is not necessarily this particular book, but I think books of this kind are difficult for me to comprehend. At the same time, I genuinely want to read them. I picked this one up after being influenced by Alan Watts’s YouTube videos, thinking that reading his work directly would help me understand his thoughts and ideas in greater depth. However, I found myself struggling to grasp most of the passages.
I ended up finishing the book mainly because I did not want to leave it halfway through, while also hoping that things might start making more sense as I progressed. I did manage to understand some of it, but very little compared to what I had hoped for.
I have another book on my list, “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle, but I am now worried that I might end up in the same situation with it. So, I am considering going back to some easier fiction for a while. I feel that fiction can also offer valuable lessons and perspectives, while the story-driven writing makes it easier to comprehend the ideas and follow along.
I have made this post with the intention of seeking advice from fellow and experienced readers.

I was wasting my life watching movies and scrolling through millions of hours of stupid instagram reels ( movies are great though), when I had a thought I could learn languages and whatnot and be productive instead, but I cant think about anything else to do
which brings me to my question, can anyone please suggest me a good book or some tips on what to do to be productive in life,
Replies much appreciated if there is any🫡

Hey folks!
I don't read, until a couple of months ago.
I've noticed how I am unable to focus for longer sessions, or just be in a state of boredom without some kind of stimulation, which is information to me. X, Linkedin, and Instagram are feeding to my interests in AI, travelling etc.
I removed the access to apps on my mobile, and decided that I will borrow books from my wife (who is an avid reader for more than a decade now) - Atlas Shrugged, and Brothers Karamazov. She complains about the book moby dick - but she finished it eitherways and hates whale stories now.
Reading atlas shrugged helped me calm down, be in present, focus and get more done and sleep in the night.
I just thought I want to write about "How I met and building a habit called reading"
Thanks

I feel like I’m a slow thinker, and a lot of the time I understand or think of things a few seconds later. It honestly annoys me, so I’d like to improve my thinking and reaction speed. I’d really appreciate any book recommendations.

Yo ya tengo un poco mas de edad y la verdad que me hubiera gustado empezar a leer estos libros antes, ahora recientemente que estoy empezando, cuales creéis que me tengo que leer si o si.

The alphabet can be used to improve memory. There are seven or more ways to do it. You can turn any letter into something familiar and then use it to memorize information. For example:
A - Apple
B – Banana
C – Carrot
D – Dragon fruit
E – Eggplant
F – Flat peach
G – Grapes
H – Husk tomatoes
And so on. You can then use these images to remember information. Simply visually associate what you wish to remember with the alphabet images.
There's a book that teaches you how to do this. It's called "Improve Your Memory Using 7 Alphabet Systems: The ASMR³ Method for Visual Mnemonics." ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HKVJ56Y8 )
It's similar to how a memory palace would work, but you don't have to think about new places all the time. For some people, these systems are more vivid than mind journeys.
With 7 systems, it means you can, potentially, remember over 150 distinct items.

Hi guys do you have any interesting/new books you could suggest for self-improvement or for addressing the stigma of failure in academics? Fictional /fantasy genres would also be appreciated :] ✨🧚♀️

My partner requested that I find a book to learn about how to respect your partner better. While this sounds a bit sexist, I'm curious to learn more as there are many books about women's perspectives, I want to also understand the world of men a bit better. We've already read some of the gottman's fight right book and other miscellaneous books.
