Agreed. Reading refreshes the mind. It allows us to discover new things and enhance our imagination. My mom used to tell us that reading is like eating; her analogy was food is for the body to keep you physically strong while books are for the mind to help you say what you want in an intelligent manner.

I couldn’t agree more too Brad. Reading books that help you develop yourself as a person, or professionally is a key to success.

However, I believe that a good fiction book from time to time also does good to you

Thanks for a good post.

Brad, great article. I met a guy living in Park City, UT (where the Olympics were held). He was not where he wanted to be in life, and wanted me to coach him, which I agree to do. One of the first things I asked him to do, was to read “Think & Grow Rich.” Before I could even finish saying the name of the title, he shouted, “NAPOLEON HILL! I LOVE THAT BOOK! I READ IT IN MY 20′S!” At first, I was excited that he had read the book, but then it dawned on me… he was 40 years old, single, earning $7 an hour, working the graveyard shift, as parking lot security guard. YIKES! He read the book, but he missed IT! He missed the SECRET that was in every chapter of the book, beginning with the first sentence of the book! Incredible isn’t it?

Two great tips about reading, I’d like to share….

1. Always have two books with you… One to read and one to write (what you’re learning – journal).

2. Read less. Study more. – So many people read for the sake of reading. Whereas if we would really study and apply just a handful of the greatest personal development books, we could do revolutionary things in our lives, and for the world.

Brad, I would love for you to stop by my blog and see what we are doing. I am doing success coaching via my podcasts and video blogs. It’s all free and we’re having a ton of fun, helping a lot of people. Come on over, take a peek and leave a comment or two.

Agreed. As someone who’s read almost 40+ books this year, I think you’re hitting the nail right on the head. Read, read, and read. But then take that knowledge and put it into action, try it, test it, do stuff with it, make it your own, make it better.

And…. I still think everyone should own a kindle.

Thanks
