robin finished reading Atomic Habits by James Clear
No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving--every day. James Clear, …
The key to developing good habits is four fold: create a cue (making it visual and obvious), create a craving (making it attractive to do the behaviour), create a response (making it easy), and create a reward (making it satisfying upon completion).
A terrific read with some excellent recommendations to live a life compounded by the gains of god habits.
robin reviewed The Friends of Eddie Coyle by George V. Higgins
Great crime caper set in 1970s Boston
5 stars
I really enjoyed the interactions between the officers Waters and Foley as Waters runs through each of the possible scenarios with his fellow officer on what to do with Jackie Brown. Great conversation flow there.
robin reviewed The Long Way by Bernard Moitessier
This was one I really enjoyed last year
No rating
Terrific book; one to re-read again. Bernard mentions Huxley’s "Island", as one of his favourite books, and I will read that, too.

Review of 'Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to Break America' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This is a powerful book that I encourage anyone and everyone to read. It’s time to re-consider the need to contribute to unscrupulous platforms such as Facebook (and all of its other social media assets). There are real-world implications of belonging to these walled-gardens for the benefit of unseen corporations and other agencies, and to the detriment of society.
Five stars.
