Vacation time has arrived…the family is now in the Corsica Isle. We rented a vacation house on Airbnb close to the beach. Take a look at how beautiful Corsica is. 
Vacation time is the time where I can grab a couple of books for reading. I don’t like reading all the time in one book. So I grabbed a few books from my library and read as I like..
Below you can find a picture of the 3 books that I brought along.
The 3 Books I am reading…

S.M.I.L.E – Steve M. Rigby
In a world full of quick fixes and hyper-aggressive focus on systematized sales, S.M.I.L.E. will take you on a different path: to better sales and better living through relationship-building. Written for both rookie and veteran real estate agents and salespeople everywhere, this book is the antidote to the frenzied, formulaic, and pressure-driven sales tactics so common in the real estate world and other industries.
S.M.I.L.E. is a business parable about:
- Living life with integrity, authenticity, and passion
- Helping others become the best version of themselves
- Transformation and personal growth in sales
Not just another gimmicky sales and business methodology, S.M.I.L.E. will show you how to build relationships that will feed a sales funnel not just today but for the long term, using effective, people-centered sales strategies everyone feels good about. Agents and salespeople will learn how to not only apply a relationship-based approach to successful selling but also carve out a meaningful legacy in their work and lives.
S.M.I.L.E. will help you redefine success and focus on making a difference, not just a dollar. This is a book about loving what you do, doing it in a way that impacts lives, and reaching new heights of personal and professional success.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck – Mark Manson
In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be “positive” all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.
For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. “F**k positivity,” Mark Manson says. “Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it.” In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—”not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault.” Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.
There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives. https://markmanson.net/

Final note
The profession we will do in the future, the society around us, the decisions we make in life largely depends on the information we consume and what we do with it. The person you will be in five years depends largely on the information you feed your mind today….this is exactly the quote that I love and try to execute year over year, day by day. You can always change your life…failure is no option when you don’t quit. Educate yourself ! Whether it is mindset, investing with preferred stocks, …there is always something to improve !
Enjoy your vacation and enjoy your reading ! Whether you read fiction or non-fiction, there’s always something to learn ! Until next time….
Salut de Corsica…
