Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
If you have children and you are reading this book to help them, I suggest you also do it for yourself first. I know it is for your children but it can also be a wake up call for you as well. In my experience, the best way to teach our children is by modeling. We need to first become the change we wish to create.
Staying Focused in a Hyper World
John Gray
During the game Darya Alexandrovna was not enjoying herself. She did not like the light tone of raillery that was kept up all the time between Vassenka Veslovsky and Anna, and the unnaturalness altogether of grown-up people, all alone without children, playing at a child's game. But to avoid breaking up the party and to get through the time somehow, after a rest she joined the game again, and pretended to be enjoying it. All that day it seemed to her as though she were acting in a theater with actors cleverer than she, and that her bad acting was spoiling the whole performance. She had come with the intention of staying two days, if all went well. But in the evening, during the game, she made up her mind that she would go home next day. The maternal cares and worries, which she had so hated on the way, now, after a day spent without them, struck her in quite another light, and tempted her back to them.
Anna Karenina
Leo Tolstoy
This was an attempt to as literally and as thoroughly as possible answer the sort of question which I had, by this point, been asked many, many, many times. I’m glad that we continue to be, for the most part, products of unskilled labor.

William Gibson
