Stop Being Lazy: How to Overcome Laziness, Defeat Procrastination, Increase Productivity, and Break Through Barriers Like an Unstoppable Bulldog


John Z. Sonmez - 2018
    Extremely lazy. But, just this last week, I ran 50 miles, did 3 weight training workouts, attended kickboxing classes and got a ton of work done, making a nice big fat paycheck. You see, I learned how to overcome laziness--and you can too. This book is a nice short read (just 54 pages), designed for you to learn the secrets of going from lazy to self-disciplined and productive. It's the book that I wish I had when I was younger. The one that could have saved me so many hours of frustration, and helped me retire and become financially free much earlier. Oh, and also to get those 6-pack abs I finally have. (I was fat too once.) Deep down, you know that you are meant to live a life better than the one you’re living right now. You know that you are capable of doing, having, and being so much more—but you’re too damn lazy to experience who you truly are at your core and having what you’re really worth. I know how you feel because 8 years ago, I was in your shoes. I was lazy, overweight, filled with fear, and living WAY below my potential. This book takes you into my personal journey out of laziness and into a life of empowerment and self-discipline. In this book, I will share with you: The mindset that had me trapped in laziness, fear, and procrastination and how I broke free How I created a new mindset of a tenacious, unstoppable bulldog What the bulldog mindset is all about and why you must have it Why I do hard shit Why I became a finisher, and more If you’re really ready to give up laziness, I’ll show you how I did it and how you can too.

It sometimes feels like there are a million and one different techniques to master, spread across a bewildering array of websites.

With the basics out of the way, each subsequent chapter details a particular aspect of CSS-based design. Through a series of easy-to-follow tutorials, you will learn practical CSS techniques you can immediately start using in your daily work.

All of these techniques are then put into practice in two beautifully designed case studies, written by two of the world's best CSS designers, Simon Collison and Cameron Moll.

Zero Hour for Gen X: How the Last Adult Generation Can Save America from Millennials


Matthew Hennessey - 2018
    Soon Gen Xers will be the only cohort of Americans who remember life as it was lived before the arrival of the Internet. They are, as Hennessey dubs them, “the last adult generation,” the sole remaining link to a time when childhood was still a bit dangerous but produced adults who were naturally resilient. More than a decade into the social media revolution, the American public is waking up to the idea that the tech sector’s intentions might not be as pure as advertised. The mountains of money being made off our browsing habits and purchase histories are used to fund ever-more extravagant and utopian projects that, by their very natures, will corrode the foundations of free society, leaving us all helpless and digitally enslaved to an elite crew of ultra-sophisticated tech geniuses. But it’s not too late to turn the tide. There’s still time for Gen X to write its own future. A spirited defense of free speech, eye contact, and the virtues of patience, Zero Hour for Gen X is a cultural history of the last 35 years, an analysis of the current social and historical moment, and a generational call to arms.
