Are Non-Fictions Boring?

 Fate cannot be avoided,

Destiny must be chased and brought to fruition

 Being a fiction reader it gets really hard to pull out a non-fiction as your next read. I am a person who wants to get motivated to read by looking at the storyline. While most of the readers enjoy the story and motivational messages involved in non-fictions, I just find them to be a lil bit boring and monotonous.

Barking up the wrong tree


Recently, in the quarantine I read "Barking Up The Wrong Tree". The book is a non- fiction and hence got me into the pre-assumption that it will be boring. Trust me this one time I just left it after five pages. But one day, I sat down and finally decided to read through it. The book grows into breaking all the myths and establishing itself on a ground where you start enjoying it.

Try things, 
quit what falls,

then apply grit


The book is based on facts and stories that can be easily implemented in your life. It makes you question about things you have just been ignoring in your life. Plus all those fancy words and synonyms of productivity will make sense as you grow through the book. 


The facts are not mere figures, but descriptions that will hold you onto reading the book further. The tasks appointed within the chapters can be easily implemented and hence will motivate you to work. With each tick mark you cross, the pace of your progress will follow an upward trajectory. 

Why to read it?


  • The stories of real life people and how the facts helped them will motivate you to read further.
  • Chapter summary along with the pointers at the end will connect you to every underlying meaning.


  • Connection with previous topics helps you retain what you have read so far increasing the chances to committing to the work.
  • As described, the book talks about the real science about how things work that makes it honest, relatable and more practical.
  • The topics are on target and will hook you up to read further.

My takings from the book


The book talks about productivity and success in a very innovative way and you get me anything innovative I will get hooked up to it. Some of the lines that I took along while reading are:
  • In the right environment, bad can be good and good can be beautiful.
  • If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you.
  • People who surround us, often determine who we become.
  • Bad behavior is strong in the short run, but good behavior wins over in the long run.
  • WE NEED LESS
  • We must be careful in who we pretend to be.
  • WOOP: Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan
