Today lots of people are making a decision to move their careers online: some decide to develop their businesses on social media, some decide to use their knowledge of how to buy Instagram followers and develop social media pages and become SMM specialists, some just try different things out until they find themselves in the world of online jobs. However, working online takes a quicker mind and highly organized routine to have enough time to do all of the duties that you’re going to have on such a job. This is why we decided to create a top-list of books that will teach you how to think quicker: this is a helpful list for those who are trying to kick start their careers online.

1. Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. Firstly we would like to recommend a book for brain training: the Nobel laureate explains why we do irrational things and make wrong decisions. Read it to understand who controls whom: are you controlling your thinking or is it controlling you? And what can be done to turn the situation in your favor?

2. The Now Habit by Nail Fiore. We are all familiar with procrastination: fighting it can be the first step to a completely different life, to success in work. To understand how to stop procrastinating and start doing, read the book by Neil Fiore, a well-known psychologist and doctor of sciences.

3. Traps of Thinking by Chip and Dan Heath. A simple book that suggests taking 4 steps to avoid the typical pitfalls of thinking. From it, you can learn how to become more decisive when solving a problem; how to make decisions in a group and not succumb to intrigue at the same time. And, most importantly, how can we not overlook valuable opportunities in the decision-making process?

4. Your Brain at Work by David Rock. The book is about the features of our brain from the point of view of science. The author delves into neuroscience, and then describes in very accessible language how the brain structure affects our daily life, and how we can learn to use it better. There are a lot of examples in the book, and the events in them develop in two ways: before and after we got to know our brain more deeply and trained it a little.

5. Decisive: How to Make Better Decisions in Life and Work by Chip Heath and Dan Heath This one is for people, who cannot learn how to delegate: for example, if you’re trying to become an SMM pro, why not buy real Instagram followers and concentrate on more important things instead of wasting your time on worries? Exactly: algorithms increase the efficiency of decisions and reduce the stress during the process – we all need strict and clear guidelines in life. For example, this book describes the 37% rule – which says that only 37% of the time from the problem solving process should be spent searching for possible answers, and immediately after start making decisions. Look for more tips for the brain in the text of the book.

6. Think Like a Mathematician by Barbara Oakley. A very cool book that will teach you how to study and work effectively. These are not wasteful words: after reading it, you will understand what mistakes kept you from succeeding in work, how to overcome procrastination and what techniques will help you succeed in intellectual work as never before. Highly recommend! In addition to valuable information, you can find a huge number of stories of people who "learned to learn" and made very interesting conclusions in the process.
