The best part of the week was reading a book which motivated me to do PhD. All this while, it was a dream. The book made me realise that is where my heart lies. <\/span>

Review of Week 14<\/span><\/h2>\n

 
\n1.Book of the week: Learned Optimism<\/a><\/b>
\n 
\nOne of the unputdownable books I ever read. The way he uncovered the story was really impressing. Even though I did not read the final part of the book yet, the experimentation part was all which held my attention. <\/span>
\n 
\n2.Course of the week: Science of happiness<\/b>
\n 
\nI don\u2019t like edx app as much as coursera. Hence, I was just postponing to do it and ended up just watching the introduction.<\/span>
\n 
\n3.Habit of the Week: Rate my activities<\/b>
\n 
\nThe most painful activity in the week was eating and the most pleasure giving activity was reading. I felt accomplished for finishing a few assignments. Overall, it was a great activity to rate activities.<\/span>
\n 
\n4.Write book<\/b>
\n 
\nThis was a disaster. As I was closer to finishing the first draft of the book, I was clueless about whether whatever I wrote made any sense. I requested a friend to read a chapter. He said that I did not do enough justice to the book. I needed more experience to write a book on that topic. It felt like my dream of writing a book in a month was impossible. It took me sometime to accept the fact it was not up to the mark. I already spent a lot of hours in research for the book. It put me in a dilemma on what next. It took two days for the feeling to sink in. But then I decided to be resilient and started working on the next steps.<\/span>
\n <\/p>\n

Challenges for Week 15<\/span><\/h2>\n

 
\n1.Book of the week: Make it stick<\/a><\/b>
\n 
\nIt is a book backed by research on what makes learning stick for a long time.<\/span> I read a few chapters in this book before. Hoping to finish it this week.<\/span>
\n 
\n2.Course of the week: <\/b>
\n 
\nI will do the courses related to my psychology subjects so that I can kick start my preparation.<\/span>
\n 
\n3.Habit of the Week: Laugh<\/b>
\n 
\nI will watch a video or read a book or do anything which can make me laugh. If I can\u2019t find anything, I will just force a laugh. Laughing not only reduces stress but also improves health and well-being.<\/span>
\n 
\n4.Write book<\/b>
\n 
\nToday, I went to a book store on my way back home from work. I felt a bit low wondering if I will ever achieve my dream of writing a book. But that is when my inspiration sprouted. Starting off with a new topic today is tough. But I will give my best. I can spend around two hours everyday and write 2000 words a day. I hope I will be able to write good enough to motivate the reader this time.<\/span>
\n 
\nThat is all for the next week.<\/span>
\n 
\nHow was your week 14? What are your plans for week 15? Let us know in the comments section.<\/span>
\n 
\nHappy Week 15!<\/span>
