Clip Transurfing
"The Transurfing Clip" is a continuation of Vadim Zeland’s extensive series on Transurfing of Reality—his original concept of “reality management,” which he has been developing since the early 2000s. While the previous five volumes of the series were extensive philosophical treatises, this seventh published text is deliberately more concise and practical. The main idea is that people live in a state of “clip-like perception”—fragmentarily, reacting to stimuli rather than consciously managing their choices and state of mind.

Lagom: The Swedish Art of Balanced Living
In 2016–2017, the Swedish way of organizing daily life suddenly became a global trend. Following in the footsteps of the Danish concept of “hygge” came the Swedish concept of “lagom”—the idea of the golden mean, which involves neither excess nor deficiency. The word literally translates as “just enough” and is so deeply ingrained in the Swedish mindset that Swedes themselves consider it untranslatable.

The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and Enjoying Guilt-Free Play
"The Easy Way to Stop Putting Things Off" is a classic book on procrastination by psychologist Neil Fiore. Her main argument is fundamentally different from the usual advice to “just pull yourself together”: according to the author, procrastination isn’t laziness or a lack of discipline, but a way to cope with anxiety.

Master Your Time
"The Time Master" is a book about time management whose central thesis is unusual for the genre. Tracy argues that we often can’t get started on a task not because of laziness or a lack of discipline, but because we’ve chosen the wrong time to do it. In other words, the question isn’t just WHAT to do, but also WHEN to do it.

The Compound Effect
"The Compound Effect" is a book by Darren Hardy about how success is built not on heroic leaps, but on small daily decisions repeated over the years. The main idea is simple: small choices, multiplied by time and consistency, yield disproportionately large results—both positive and negative. What seems insignificant today will determine who you become years from now.

The One Thing
In 2013, Gary Keller, founder of America’s largest real estate network, along with his partner Jay Papazan, published a book that strikes at the very heart of modern productivity culture. The main thesis is simple yet counterintuitive: don’t do more; do less—but focus on what really matters.

Katana o motanai samurai
The title sounds like a paradox: a samurai without a sword. Masao Kitami explains this image as follows: a person’s true strength lies not in weapons or formal authority, but in their inner state, character, and ability to influence others without coercion.

How to Win Friends and Influence People
*How to Win Friends and Influence People* was published in 1936 and has been in print ever since. Dale Carnegie wrote it based on the courses in public speaking and interpersonal communication that he had been teaching in New York since 1912. The book is a practical compilation of principles for effective communication, drawn from twenty years of working with thousands of students—ranging from salespeople and managers to politicians and military officers.

You Are the Placebo
"A Placebo for Yourself" is a book that sparks sharply polarized opinions. Some readers consider it a revelation that changed their lives. Others—including many scientists and doctors—point to serious exaggerations and a loose handling of scientific data. An honest review must acknowledge both sides, because the book is neither an unqualified revelation nor pure quackery. It occupies a complex position between the two.
