RE: The Fresh Five for December 16th - New Steemians You Should Get to Know!
Hello everybody!
First of all thanks @mikepm74 for making this series. I feel very lucky to be a part of this and hope to prove that it was worth promoting me here.
In the last years I have been reading more and more after finding out about all the amazing stuff people write about. I am a fan of Ray Dailo, Gary Vaynerchuk, Mel Robbins as well as Steve Jobs. As times go the list will probably get bigger and bigger. I hope to share some the highlights of the wisdom they have written.
I love to talk about self-improvement, economics, cryptocurrency and tours in the mountains, so that will be the subjects I will be blogging about. In school I ddidn't get good English grades, but I hope my writing eventually gets better as I write more here at Steemit.
If you wonder about anything feel free to ask :)
Hey Ben! Your writing is just fine! Glad to have you here!

Hello @mikepm74.
Thanks!
I will make sure to use the christmas holiday to search though steem to find these niches :D
Hi @benleo! Thanks for sharing so much about your interests and plans/goals. It is refreshing to see so many people here expressing themselves in an open and honest manner. Good luck and Merry Christmas!
Hello @tj5553! I appreciate your nice words! Thanks! Merry Christmas to you aswell :)
Thanks!
Nice! I am big fan of Gary V too ;) The other names I don't know, so thanks for the inspiration.
What about Tony Robbins, Tim Ferris or Jim Rohn ? Aee you planning to write about self-improvement?
Hi @ladywoodi! I just started reading these self-improvements books so I do not know so many peoples yet. Thanks for telling me I will check them out! (noted at my to do list!, but MAN its many books in this segment! So hard to decide! :P ) I would appreciate it if you had some book recommendations from these guys as well?
Yeah I plan to write reviews about self-improvement books and try to make a small summary of each book. 90% of the reason to do this is to make sure I get more than 2% of each book. (Like 98% of the book just flies right through my head, though it is still there, I want to be able to pick it up whenever I would like) They way I get things to stick to my brain is to write about them, and I think the community at steemit is the perfect motivation for the last 10% :) At least the last few days have been amazing. I love the welcoming culture at steemit! :D
I totally agree about the books. With little time I am really picky which one I will read. That was the main reason I have switched to youtube channels.
Few of them are great at getting the best from book in five minutes. Plus after studying effective learning just reading wasn't enough. It has low rate for memory.
For me watching video and creating some new challenge to implement knowledge work best.
For example :
Art of learning
https://www.google.sk/amp/s/tim.blog/2016/10/06/the-art-and-science-of-learning-anything-faster/amp/
And I totally recommend Jim Rohn:'s lexture:
Which book is your most favorite one?
Woaw thanks for this stuff man! :D It fits exactelly into what I am interested in! :D
Haha :D I have not seen so old stuff before, but this guy seems like a genius.
I have never been reading or thought there was something to read about "the art and science of learning anything faster". I will check out that podcast :) (written down at my ToDo list, priority 1, as I would say learning to learn is nice before I actually start learning :P )
It is difficult to have a favorite book, but here is at least a few I would recommend:
-How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie
-The power of habti By Charles Duhigg
-The internet of money by Andreas Antonopoulos
-The 5 second rule By Mel Robbins
I hope to start writing reviews about these books in the coming weeks :)
Do you got some learn faster book recommendations?
Hmm, great. Thanks for the tips. I am going to check them.
By the way, aa I see you like Carnagie. Have you heard about Napoleon Hill? He was working for Carnagie. He got the task to interview most successful prople of that times(Ford, Roosvelt, Edison, Bell, Rockefeller, Willson,...) and with the Carnagie they have been writing the results. It's also worth seeing.
Basically Tim Ferris with the book Tools of Titans have done the same,but he interviewed hundreds of best performers, athletes, singers and so on last year, to find patterns.
Hmm, seems like Napoleon has created lots of content through his years. There is too much content out there, so I try to concentrate my time at only a few books as of now, as my todo list is way to big :) I won't have time to scan through him now, but if you have any particular books, articles or clips I would love to hear them :)
"Tools of Titans" is on my toDo list after seeing this review by @eldergill. I look forward to read that book!
Hmm. I am thinking about writing a post about him. You have inspired me. Maybe it could be great to create a hashtag for self-development books /people reviews. We could both contribute. What do you think?
Nice, I would love to read that post.
I do not know, do we need a custom tag?
I think I will just use self-improvement + Selfhelp + life and similar tags that is already in use.
