The Fault In Our Stars is a fabulous book about a young teenage girl who has been diagnosed with lung cancer and attends a cancer support group.

Hazel is 16 and is reluctant to go to the support group, but she soon realises that it was a good idea. Hazel meets a young boy named Augustus Waters. He is charming and witty. Augustus has had osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer, but has recently had the all clear.

Hazel and Augustus embark on a roller coaster ride of emotions, including love, sadness and romance, while searching for the author of their favourite book. They travel to Amsterdam in search of Peter Van Houten the author of An Imperial Affliction. While on their trip Augustus breaks some heartbreaking news to Hazel and both of their worlds fall apart around them.

If you enjoy young adult books, full of witty humour and heartbreaking events, this book is perfect for you. Expect to laugh, cry and smile throughout this masterpiece by the amazing John Green.

I highly recommend this book. You can always buy your books from Books Village Pay 1,000 naira and grab a copy of THE FAULT IN OUR STARS at the earliest.

The 80/20 Principle by Richard Koch

  The 80/20 Principle by Richard Koch What is the 80/20 Principle? The 80/20 principle (aka the Pareto principle) states that 80% of the results come from 20% of the causes. 1) Thinking 80/20 80/20 thinking requires, and with practice enables, us to spot the few really important things that are happening, and ignore the most unimportant things. It teaches us to see the woods for the trees. 80/20 thinking is reflective, unconventional, hedonistic, strategic, and nonlinear; in that it combines extreme ambition (in the sense of wanting to change things for the better) with a relaxed and confident manner. 2) 80/20 thinking is reflective 80/20 thinking is different from the type of thinking that prevails today. The latter is usually rushed, opportunistic, linear, and incrementalist. Our objective is to leave action behind, do some quiet thinking, mine a few small pieces of precious insights, and then act; selectively, on a few objectives and a narrow front, decisively and impressively, ...

Here are 3 key lessons from the book:    1) 3 Tips For Happiness  Be Present:  The easiest way to be happy is to be fully present. Most of us are unhappy because our brains are worried about the future or regretting the past.
