I didn’t know much about Arnold Schwarzenegger beyond his movies, so this book was a great introduction to his life. It really showed how disciplined and focused he is, and I found his advice based on real-life experiences very inspiring. I enjoyed reading it and found it very informative.

However, men should read because of ideas, behaviour and actions, while İt was a little bit long )) (app 700 pages:).. if we look at from positive side the book is good at all. Good luck everyone.

He wrote about the renewal movement that started with the Tanzimat in his works and he became a guide by writing his writings for information purposes.

Ahmet Mithat Efendi is the leading name in the works of the Tanzimat Period. He conveyed his existing experiences both in his novels and his works such as Müşahedat, Taffüf, Mesail-i Muğlaka, Ahmet Mithat Efendi, Edebiyat Yazıları 1 and 2, he became one of the most enlightened writers of Turkish novelism, and he deserved to be known as a novelist because he was mostly engaged in novels among prose genres. Ahmet Mithat Müşahedat criticized Emile Zola in his introduction titled 'Hasbihâl with Kâriîn' in his work titled Müşahedat and described the situation of Emile Zola, who wrote with a naturalist perspective of French society, from a critical point of view. Mithat Efendi wrote almost all his works to guide and educate people. And for this reason, according to him, transferring the events existing in the society as they are, instead of educating people, he was worried about leading them down the wrong path and therefore he opposed the Turkish society to read Emile Zola. Ahmet Mithat is a socialist and devoted writer. His aim to educate the public has led him to address the problems of the people. In this respect, he is in a way the sociologist of his period. Naturalism is established through the

Frank T. Vertosick Jr. describes his personal voyage from eager medical student to board certified neurosurgeon. By turns comic and tragic, this memoir is a must read for neurosurgeons but also of interest to most readers. Dr Vertosick provides, from an American perspective, a keen insight into a specialty which is often regarded with suspicion by other doctors. He did not initially intend to become a neurosurgeon, but “strayed too close to a dangerously seductive profession and became stuck for good like a fly in a spider’s web.” On his first day as a neurosurgical resident, a cynical and weary chief resident takes him aside and outlines the “Rules of Neurosurgery.” The first of these provides the title of the book: “You ain’t never the same when the air hits your brain.” A worrying proposition to those with no background knowledge, nevertheless this maxim pithily sums up the subtle, intangible change that often occurs after cranial surgery, but which cannot be neatly recorded on a chart. The other rules include such useful aphorisms as “the only minor operation is one that someone else is doing” and “if the patient isn’t dead you can always make them worse,” a contemporary variation on the Hippocratic motto: "primum non nocere." Though lighthearted in tone, the book addresses serious points that are relevant to the practice of neurosurgery in particular and medicine in general. Medical careers tend to be dominated by anecdotes. Clinicians all remember their first times, the medical curiosities they have encountered, and, perhaps most importantly, their mistakes. Dr Vertosick’s trial by fire comes during a craniotomy and clipping of aneurysm. At first the case progresses well, but suddenly he is faced with a “crimson flood” as the aneurysm ruptures, with catastrophic results for

I enjoyed reading How to Talk to Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere by Larry King. It’s an easy and quick read, with plenty of real-life examples drawn from his personal and professional experiences—whether from his talk show or public speaking events. I especially liked hearing those practical stories. Some of the tips are useful, and I might try applying a few myself. Overall, it’s a decent book. Not amazing, but worth reading if you have the time and want to pick up a few solid communication insights.
