Kazakh/Russian are the official languages, and English isn't that popular.
I had SO MANY QUESTIONS as we walked the streets and drove the roads of the country.
I turned to my newest friend - Perplexity.
Perplexity has become my default search engine in the past 6 months - it gives me answers and not weblinks, provides sources, doesn't make random things up, and it understands my instructions.
"Why were Kazakhs historically nomads?"
"What is the main source of revenue for Kazakhstan?"
"What are the best local cuisine restaurants in Almaty?"
Curated, well-structured responses.
Try for yourself:
"What are the 7 best ways to earn online for someone in their 20s, based out of India?"
"Share a 30-day detailed plan on how to beat procrastination, using daily tasks, reminders and lessons."
"What are 3 signs of a toxic relationship? How do I get out of one?"
This week I started reading Four Thousand Weeks (Time Management for Mortals) by Oliver Burkeman.
It is a nice, powerful book - part self-help, part technical - on how to conquer your time.
I like reading such productivity books every now and then, and this one is certainly not disappointing.
Oh btw, quiz question - what do you think the 4 thousand weeks refer to, in the title of the book?
My 3rd book, Make Epic Money, has sold 1,20,000+ copies in India with a 4.4+ rating. You can buy it in Hindi, English, Marathi, Audio, and Kindle here.
The book has also been converted into a video course (in Hindi and English) - that you can read about here.
Here is an alphabetical list of all books I have shared in this newsletter so far.

Office + higher pay has an appeal to younger folks (I can imagine why), but as you grow older, you see the benefits of working from home - even if it comes at lower pay.

We see ourselves through the eyes of others. Our image of who we are is determined by what people say about us. Or how people have...
Your emotions are not good or bad If fear can motivate you without paralysing you, be fearful. If doubt can refine your ideas without stopping you, be doubtful. If anxiety can sharpen your focus without overwhelming you, be anxious. If sadness can deepen your empathy without consuming you, be sad. Emotions are not negative or positive.
