Albert Einstein, one of the many great minds featured in the book Mastery by Robert Green, once said,
"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
This quote shares a very deep wisdom with us, emphasizing that everyone of us has been sent to this world with a unique talent, and if we try to judge ourselves based on the social norms and what others expect of us rather than who we truly are, then we waste all our time and energy on who we are not rather than who we can become. Einstein’s legacy teaches us that when we find our passion and purpose, we can create lasting change not only for ourselves but for the world. It is this same belief that drives our efforts at Nebula Cafe, where our book collection and events are designed to spark meaningful conversations and personal growth.
Our library offers a range of influential books that focus on themes of self-discovery, leadership, and community building. Alongside these titles, you’ll find biographies of visionary leaders like Gandhi, Malala Yousafzai, and Nelson Mandela, whose stories of perseverance and courage can help guide you on your path to personal and communal transformation.

- Join a Discussion – Participate in one of our book club events, creative writing circles, or community talks. Share your thoughts on the topics you read about and learn from the perspectives of others. Community interaction is a powerful tool for personal growth.
- Reflect on Your Purpose – Take time to ask yourself, “What is my why?” Whether through journaling or talking with a mentor, discover what drives you. Let this guide your choices both personally and professionally.
- Give Back – As Give and Take teaches, helping others can lead to success. Whether it’s mentoring someone, volunteering, or even sharing a meaningful book with a friend, giving back fosters a culture of growth and fulfillment.
