I bought this book in Mexico City in a Cafebrería.

It’s about a family’s relationship with a house guest, in a small town called Shaker Heights.

Chances are that if you are older than 15, can relate to almost everything that’s going on.

A life changing one.

Recommended by a colleague.

I devoured it. Get this one.

The latest (2024) literature on Ultra Processed Food, and its impact on your:

• body

• mind

• life

I am a sucker for this sort of information. I took as many notes as the book itself.

Loved it.

One of my favorite all-time books.

This should be read once a month by everyone, no matter how old you are.

It’s about life, how to conquer yourself, and how to fly beyond normality.

If you don’t have it and are unconvinced, I’ll buy it for you. Email me: mattiacella.business@gmail.com

We are what we are, we see what we see, we smell what we smell.

But how does ALL of this even happen?

Take a second, and think about it.
This book is your answer.

I was refraining to buy this.

But Sinek is just a visionary. It teaches you to see business messages from a completely different angle.

Recommended to anyone.

This is a must for anyone interested in…

…almost anything.

You’ll need a pencil and an eraser. This book taught me so much, and I apply its principles in 80% of what I do everyday.

Indian Spirituality.

This is a life-changing one. You can think of it as a religious text, a philosophy one, an ethics one.

It doesn’t even matter. No need to label it.

Think creatively.

Learn not to discard any of your ideas.

Learn to be the most creative person in the room, without fearing being stupid.

This is one of the top books of 2022.

It’s a combination of sci-fi and current times, meaning, some things that are happening now (or already happened) are narrated in the future.

I won’t say much else so I don’t spoil i to you, but if you see this in a bookstore - and are undecided - buy it.

This HAD to be included.

I designed the cover, and a lot of principles inside the book are based on my work with Instagram.

We also got the Amazon Bestseller Badge.
It ranked #1 for a week under the Amazon Online Entrepreneur category.

It was a great feeling.

This author keeps chasing me.

I read one of his book called The New York Trilogy, which I found by mistake, and one day I was walking in The Marais in Paris and it was looking at me from a library shelf.

The plot is actually a pretty weird story…

but one that you will devour.

Recommended by many.

The book flows, and its core message is hopeful and pretty unique.

If you are looking for a subway read, this is the book for you. If you’re looking for a dense, heavy, and immersive story…go somewhere else.

7/10.

Very long title, but what a book.

It’s written in epistolary style, and it narrates the story of a small island community composed of very disparate people who came together during the German occupation of World War II to protect.

Emotional. I read it in 3 days.

Truth be told, I have to start this one yet.

I keep postponing because I know that it will be that good that I won’t want to put it down.

“A walk in the woods will never be the same after you read this book,” is the catchphrase that sold me to it.

Okay. This is a heavy one.

But HAS to be included in every library in the world.

I mean, c’mon.

This guy knew everything of everything trillions of years ago. Just for that, you need to have it.

Some might argue that reading this book at 26 is pretty late.

But I think this is a timeless read for anyone, at any point in their lives. The adventures of Holden, the terms used to describe them, and the general tone of the narration are special.

And it’s also placed in NYC, so that made it even more special for me.

A love story inside a War setting.

Almost a classic, but when Ernest writes, you know it’s magic.

I’m assuming you read this one, but if you didn’t, consider it.

A few years ago I got curious about China.

How people think, what moves their culture, how they approach life, how the country functions, and its ideologies.

I never finished it, but it will be useful one day as I make my way down there.

This book should be part of a student’s development. Actually, of anyone’s.

It lays down the basics of evolution, how we got here.

After you read it, you’ll look at things differently.

A journey into one of the most brilliant minds that ever lived.

Read about visions that explain what happens around us, from the imagined point of view of Einstein.

What a genius even just to think about it.

This man is the author of The New Yorker’s covers. He is genius.

Niemann sees things from a completely different point of view. Incredible storyteller.,

Whenever I feel uninspired, I pick this one up.

Worth it for your mind!

Hard in the beginning.

You have to memorize names and places, and piece them all together as you read.

It got to a point for me where I couldn’t take it anymore, or maybe it wasn’t just the right time.

What I’m telling you is that if you want an easy read, this may not be the book for you.

Traveling does not have to be grinding for months for a week worth of “freedom.”

That’s the book's main idea, which will leave even the most skepticals with new points of view, at the very least.

Tips, resources, stories, quotes… this book has everything the adventurous, long-term traveler might ever need.

Found this little gem in a small wooden library box in South Orange, NJ.

It’s a misterious and thrilling story that captivated me since the beginning One of those that leave you wonder and wonder until finally… you end up loving it.

This is an NYT Bestseller, as I later discovered.

This is a play.

And yes, I bought this book as used on Amazon.

I finished it one stand. It’s a jump back in history to the time of Henry VIII.

You are entertained while reinforcing your history knowledge.

Yes. I ALSO got into longevity.

Found this guy, Peter Attia, through Andrew Huberman and his podcast, Hubermanlab.

There’s a lot of good information about the latest on Medicine 3.0. I liked it, but hasn’t really excited me as much as David Sinclair’s one.

NYC Based.

Roommates.

I thought it was perfect for me, but I couldn’t get past page 130 with this one.

I know the author is pretty accomplished, so I kept trying… but it didn’t do it for me.

Came across Mo by listening to popular podcast “Diary of a CEO.”

Amazing story, fascinating personality, unique insights. You can put this in a sub-niche under the broader Self-development genre.

Easy to jump around chapters too. A book that can help you face tough changes.

Oh… the notes!

I took so many… wrote so much.

It’s a book on a subject which I know NOTHING about. Now I still know very little, but it’s SOMETHING.

If you want to know what medicine is doing about longevity, get it.

Steven Pressfield.

This book is essentially about beating procrastination.

Or what Steven calls: Resistance.

There have been times when reading a few pages put me to work and others, where it made me smile.

Either way, it worked.

I got this because Ogilvy recommends it.

It’s a guide.

CVs, Letters, Papers, Emails…

This book is better than Grammarly (especially because it is not as invading… and expensive).

If you want to learn how to negotiate in a way that features some of the craziest stories… this book is for you.

Chris Voss has seen the unimaginable.

650 pages in 5 days.

Worth it.

I’m not sure how to say this…

But this book is HUGE.

It’s about one of the greatest men that ever existed (I don’t know about politics, I’m talking outside the realm of opinions here…).

An incredible, life-threatening journey that will test the personalities and choices of its joiners.

Incredible. Please read it.

Pennsylvania in the 20s.

A story spanning different cultures, social situations, and personalities.

I love books that teach you while keeping you entertained with a nice story.

P.S. I recommend noting down the characters’ names. There’s a lot.
