@joshuadoshua thanks for sharing the links. I didn't know the existance of smiale.amazon.com. In a quick search I just found American foundations, do you know if there are European/Latam/African/Asian foundations too (or any links where I can read more about smile.amazon.com)?

Thanks!

Btw, Cal Newport has a podcast which I enjoy immensely. He solicits questions from listeners and uses the themes from his various books and other sources to answer them.

Self-improvement is very important. I read Atomic Habits and after reading this book I understand so much about my own habits and learn how to change bad of them. I experience leadership qualities in myself, and I want to grow them properly and I was reading books on this topic which I found on goodfileshare.com/how-students-can..., where I can find the top 5 books on how a student can develop leadership qualities. I hope one day I will become a good leader with the help of these books.
