148 Tips for Life

by Desi Anwar

Living a healthy, productive and balanced life is easier said than done. Although our common sense can normally guide us on what to do when it comes to taking care of ourselves, often we don't pay attention to our inner wisdom, or even worse, does the opposite to what it tells us. For example, we know that eating healthy, doing physical exercises and making sure we get proper rest are essential to our well-being. However, habit, convenience or just sheer lack of discipline often lead us on the wrong path. And we pay attention to where we're heading, only when illnesses and diseases overtake us.

Tips for Life are everyday wisdoms for busy people who can benefit from having daily reminders about how to make their life easier, their bodies fitter, their mind clearer, and their spirit brighter.

First published as Tweets for Life, a series of tweets on Twitter by Senior Anchor and TV host, Desi Anwar, Tips for Life consists of 148 short, easy to remember tips in an attractive book form. This book is a handy companion to put in your bag or next to the bed, and will help you with how to deal with as well as give solutions to your everyday problems.

this book looks fresh and colorful, i love it.....
my fav part is:
"Help other people not so they will pay you back, but so they could help others in turn." (pg 87)

other than that, nothing (so) special. just a reminder for us to make our live feel better and balance

mbak desi anwar oshiku hhe

tulisan2 di buku ini berisi tips2 dari mbak Desi yang ditulis dalam bahasa Inggris dan Indonesia. dibagi menjadi 3 bab diantaranya tips seputar myself and other, peace within, dan taking care of your body.

isi buku di dalamnya bikin segar mata. dengan tulisan colorful dan ilustrasi berwarna yang lucu-lucu seperti gambar kucing, burung merak juga bunga-bunga khas hutan hujan Indonesia. cantik.

beberapa tips yang ada rata-rata sudah sering kita baca entah itu dari akun twitter semacam lifehack atau artikel-artikel dari web popsugar atau boredpanda. tapi yang membuat buku ini menarik, per-tips disajikan dalam satu halaman. dan karena saya baca versi ebook, jadi bisa di screenshoot untuk dijadikan wallpaper hp dan sebagai reminder juga. mantap.

beberapa tips yang saya simpan dan jadi kesukaan

make sure you get enough sleep. your body needs the time to repair itself and enough rest will save you from unnecessary breakdowns

learn to laugh at yourself more. it lessens the pain when other people laugh at you

jangan hanya memasukkan makanan ke dalam perut, tetapi berikan juga asupan untuk pikiran kita

a good way to put your life in order is to start organizing your photo albums. it will help you track your evolution and keep things in perspective

selalu sediakan waktu untuk membaca buku yang bermutu karena dapat memperkaya pemikiran dan daya khayal kita

always have a book handy. a good book is a good friend

"Don't take things seriously, it takes the enjoyment of life"

"See life as a journey, where the meaning is in the travel itself, not the destination"

"Be patient. A journey of a thousand miles begin with bad traffic to airport and long queue at check-in counter"

Buku ini terdiri dari tiga bab besar yang setiap babnya berisi tips-tips berkaitan dengan tema babnya (aku ga hitung sih apakah benar 148 tips hehe)

Tiga bab tersebut:
- Taking Care of Your Body
- My Self and Others
- Peace Within

Baca buku ini bikin ingat buku Haemin Sunim yang ‘The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down' karena dari segi formatnya mirip. Diawali dengan narasi singkat sebelum masuk ke tips-tipsnya.

To be honest, aku lebih suka sama narasi awal dari buku ini daripada tips-tips yang diberikan. Penulis menjelaskan dengan baik di narasi tersebut, terutama bab pertama.

Sedangkan untuk tips yang disampaikan penulis, hanya
sebagian yang cukup menarik untuk aku pribadi. Sisanya ada yang aku sulit untuk memahami
maksud dan konteksnya, ada juga yang memang tidak
sesuai dengan prinsip yang aku pegang.

Buku ini dalam bahasa inggris, tapi untuk tipsnya
diberikan juga dalam bahasa indonesia. Di setiap halaman diberi illustrasi bunga yang sangat cantik! 💐💐

Buku ini menurutku lebih ditujukan untuk perempuan, atau siapapun penggemar ilustrasi floral warna-warni dan kumpulan quotes. Aku sih suka ya, ada beberapa yang aku capture dan aku edit buat jd wallpaper biar jd reminder. Ringan dan memanjakan visual.

[Zia Nazaliah · Rating 4 out of 5]

berisi 148 tips untuk hidup, bagus sekali >< tapi ga semua tips itu benar, aku ada yang ga setuju sih beberapa haha

[Rifani Magrissa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Saya lupa bagaimana kalimat tepatnya, namun intinya di dalam salah satu bagian bukunya "Bahagiakan dirimu sendiri, bagaimana mungkin kau bisa membahagiakan orang lain, jika dirimu sendiri tak dapat kau bahagiakan"
