Book Notes

This page is an index of my book notes and highlights, a personal knowledge archive built over time.

Each entry reflects:

  • what I found important,

  • how I interpreted it,

  • and why it stayed with me.

These notes are written primarily for clarity, not completeness.

How this library is organised?

Notes are grouped loosely by themes.
Some books may overlap categories — that’s intentional.

🧠 Psychology & Mindset

Books on behaviour, habits, decision-making, and mental models.

🌿 Wellness & Health

Notes related to physical health, recovery, movement, and sustainable living.

⚙️ Productivity, Systems & Work

Ideas on how to work better, build systems, and design life around energy — not hustle.

📖 Life, Learning & Reflection

Books that don’t fit neatly into one category but shaped how I think about life.

💼 Business & Entrepreneurship

Books on building businesses, entrepreneurship, strategy, economics, leadership, and long-term value creation.

This includes ideas on:

  • starting from zero

  • building leverage

  • decision-making under uncertainty

  • sustainable business models

  • thinking like an owner, not just an operator

How to read these notes?

  • Start anywhere.

  • Skim freely.

  • Return when needed.

This is a library, not a feed.

Some ideas may later be expanded into essays or frameworks elsewhere, but this page remains the source.

This library will continue to grow — slowly and intentionally.

Bangsa Enam Angka (The 6 Figure Nation)

Book Overview Title: Bangsa Enam Angka Author: Azraei Muhamad Category: Personal Finance Why I Picked This Book I wanted a practical guide to financial planning that speaks to the Malaysian context. Most personal finance books are written from Western perspectives with different economic realities. This book promised a clear roadmap to building wealth from zero—something I needed as I rethink my relationship with money and long-term security. (The ideas here still applicable outside of Malaysia and everywhere else). Core Ideas & Highlights 1. The Six-Step Framework to Financial Freedom The author breaks down wealth-building into six actionable steps: track expenses, create a budget, manage cash flow, save your first RM 1,000, build an emergency fund, and start investing . What I appreciate is how sequential this is—you can’t skip straight to investing if you haven’t mastered tracking your spending. It’s a ladder, not a buffet. 2. Four Pillars of Life: Knowledge, Action, Experience,...

The Almanack of Naval Ravikant

Book Overview Title: The Almanack of Naval Ravikant Author: Eric Jorgenson Category: Business & Entrepreneurship / Philosophy / Self-Development Why I Picked This Book: I kept seeing Naval’s tweets and podcast clips everywhere and one YouTuber I followed also suggested this book, and his ideas felt different from typical hustle-culture advice. I wanted to understand his philosophy on wealth and happiness from the source material, distilled into one place. I’m at a point where I understand how to make money tactically, but I needed a deeper framework for why wealth matters and how it fits into a meaningful life. Core Ideas & Highlights 1️. Wealth is Assets That Earn While You Sleep Wealth isn’t money or status, it’s ownership of things that generate value without your active involvement. Money is just a transfer mechanism, a way to trade time and wealth with others. Status is your position in social hierarchies, which is ultimately a zero-sum game. The goal isn’t to chase payche...

Enam Angka Menjelang Dua Puluh Lima (The 6 Figures by 25)

  Book Overview Title: Enam Angka Menjelang Dua Puluh Lima Author: Azraei Muhamad Category: Personal Finance Why I Picked This Book This is Azraei’s follow-up to Bangsa Enam Angka ( you can read my notes here ), and I wanted to see how he expanded on his financial framework. I’m at a stage where I’ve grasped the basics of budgeting and saving, but I need guidance on what comes next on how to actually grow wealth while staying grounded in values. The title promised a roadmap for reaching six figures by age 25, which felt both ambitious and practical. Well I am no longer 25 years old from the moment of my writing, but the guide can help others who are still early in their live to actually walk the author path. Core Ideas & Highlights 1. Asset Diversification as a Foundation The book emphasises spreading your wealth across Tabung Haji (TH), ASB, and physical gold for long-term stability. It’s not about chasing the highest returns—it’s about building a balanced portfolio that can w...
