bloggerTV presenter and journalist. Loves historical novels, as well as handing out advice on "how to look at the show this week."
What books are your favorite?
I've always been partial to the intricate story with a little bit of love experiences.
So, when I came upon a book Sidney Sheldon "If Tomorrow Comes"I began to read in one gulp all his works.
There is such a thing as "book-hook". Here such books are all working Sidney Sheldon. His French "brother" is Guillaume Musso ( "Girl from Brooklyn") - he has great psychological detective. Yes, they are much simpler than a classic like Dostoevsky, but after these books really want to continue reading the flow because they are ingested in one sitting.
With a book from childhood you have associated with the most fond memories?
Warmest memories I have are not associated with the book, and with a poem Tiutchev "Spring Storm", which I learned in grade 3. I still remember, for the master class "memorization" of my mother was the most memorable and truly useful. So learn the verses, they are excellent causes the brain to work.
If we talk about the prose of his childhood, of course, is the Alexandre Dumas and his "Count of Monte Cristo». A very strong book, a classic of French literature, which makes us think about the really important and good things.
What book are you re-read often and with pleasure?
Most often, I read books on self-organization and business psychology. Most beloved to this day remains "18 minutes"Peter Bregman. A book that has helped me to believe in themselves, said that everything will be well and good, but if not, then do not worry, because we are all humans and we are just learning. Yes, you have to be demanding of themselves, but to be able to find the strength to move on, and do not burn for a long time after supermenskogo jerk.
Was the book from which you could not break away until you have read to the end?
Of course, as I had already mentioned several times, it is best for the task "to read, not looking" fit detectives. Always want to know what it was all over and the killer's true - the butler? For me it "intriguante"Sidney Sheldon"The mysterious story of Billy Milligan"Daniel Keyes.
What book be sure to read each person and why?
Here I will be very simple: classic, classic, and once again a classic (not for nothing that it's called).
If you choose one book, then it probably is "prince"Niccolo Machiavelli. This is my favorite classic book, relevant to the present day.
For example, the story that the emperor can be cruel, and then his power will be more durable, but the people will not like it. Or, on the contrary, he can be supportive and friendly, and the people will adore it and reach for the governor, but the people in power will be very long, and it is unlikely he will remember for a long time.
All the "advice" of Niccolo Machiavelli can be applied to today's realities, not only in the political sphere. Is any management activity, in which there are superior and subordinate.
Which book has been helpful to you professionally? Why?
The most useful book of the last was "Sapiens. A brief history of humanity"Yuval Harari November. In it - the explanation of human behavior ranging from the primitive communities and ending with the present. The author tried in terms of biology and sociology to understand why people behave the way they do. Why in our lives it is important the presence of religion and politics, why do not we have subjected the wheat, and it us.
What of the last read fiction books do you remember? Than?
From the last - "Limitless" Alan Glynn. Saw the film and was impressed, but hands reached to read the book only in 2018.
Interesting fantastic story about what would happen if we could use hidden potential our brain. Eddie Spinola - the main hero of the product - gets such an opportunity in the form of NRT tablets and falls into a series of strange and sometimes scary situations.
What is a good book you read on the advice of another person?
I read a lot of books on the advice of friends and acquaintances. Of all the varieties can allocate enough atypical book - "Of course, you're joking, Mr. Feynman?"Authorship of Richard Feynman.
Man extraordinary mind, one of the founders of quantum thermodynamics, the Nobel Prize winner describes his student life and becoming a "typical adult." Even the darkest moments of his biography describes a very interesting and with the help of a great style. Here you have a Jack of all trades.
How do you read?
Most often, a book in my hand - in your phone. Not the most convenient format, but most mobile. I will definitely buy books on paper, if it deserves a place in my library, and of course my heart.
For a long time I enjoyed Bookmate. Now just I download a lot of books and reading through the eBook.
The book applications often have a feature as the citation. So interesting notes I still leave, as well as to take screenshots on your phone to the idea not to lose. The paper book is something interesting or important to allocate a colored marker.
