Ok. It's been a while since I've been active here. I've come to a life realisation that I was plowing through books, not for the purpose of learning and empowerment (which was my main goal), but to accumulate and increase the number of books read.

Instead of reading to say I've read so many books, I'm now reading to learn and apply into my life.

So without these reading goals, I'm removing the competitive mindset from the equation.

I'll still update Goodreads on books I read or listen to (via audiobooks).
