Hi, this is another edition of “For Value Sake”. A weekly email newsletter, it contains a few articles, a book recommendation, a podcast, and a TED talk. These are the most impressionable resources I consumed during the week, and share them so you can reap some value as I did. The only goal is to add value.
Yo!!! Smile. Great Vibes Only.
In case you are yet to write your vision and goals for the year, these can help. Resource 1, Resource 2

10 SPIRITUAL GOALS FOR THE YEAR
“That’s why one year I decided to try a focus on “being” in place of “doing.” Instead of working really hard to change my behaviour, I tried creating a clear vision of who I wanted to become”
I came across this article as I was looking for inspiration to set my spiritual goals for the year. And it did have elements for things we would truly want to remind ourselves of.

BOOK OF THE WEEK: NO MORE MR NICE GUY BY ROBERT A GLOVER
This initially wasn’t on my list of books to read this year. I typically have a long list spanning till the end of the year, but a friend sent me this book as a reply FVS 21. I like to think that I am to some extent a nice guy. This book is quite insightful on some of the toxicity in being a so-called “nice guy”. Robert calls it “Nice Guy Syndrome”. I thought it was one of those surface books, but it’s actually intellectually deep.

If you want the book, holla and I’ll send you an e-copy.
