Achieving for Nothing

by Matt Stone, Reddaren Publishing (Editor)

The life story of a university lecturer, PhD, officer, and black belt who keeps achieving goal after goal and still feels as lost and empty of deep vital meaning as when he was a child. An honest reflection and description of my life as a human being, and the things I have lived and learned so far. If you keep overcoming challenges but don't feel any real victory after that, we are in the same scenario you and I. I hope my experiences help you realize you are not alone in this.

One of the best philosophy and self-help books I have read. The author explains how he managed to get a PhD, black belts, diplomas, the jobs he wanted, etc. and even so his achievements seemed pointless and empty to him. It resonated with my own life experiences and the philosophy that goes with the book felt accurate and on point. I have spent days talking with friends about the ideas in this book!

I don’t know what it was, but it took me 2 months to read a book that should have taken no more than a week. Maybe it’s the lack of paragraphs that made me feel like it was endless and I had to just put it down.
Overall, it was thought-provoking, but I felt it could have been even shorter.

I wasn't expecting much from this book because self help is not my cup of tea, but this one reads more like a biography mixed with philosophical wisdom from a guy who achieved a few of the things I want to get to in my life. It was a good source of knowledge about someone else's experiences.
