Read, Learn, and Gorw



Why read so much?

  • Reading stimulates your mind and stretches your thinking.
  • You gain ideas!
  • It’s like having a conversation with some of the world’s brightest people, without leaving your home.
  • You’ll do your job better.
  • You’ll become a more interesting person.
  • You can be inspired!
There is a growing debate about the pros and cons of reading digital only in a digital and screen-based world. Here’s an interesting article about the science of paper vs. screens. You don’t have to be a boomer or old school to gain value from physically interacting with a book. If you are all about digital, great, but give this a try.

There is something about holding a book and marking it up that creates a more intimate experience and possibly even enhances your learning.

Don’t wait until you’ve finished your book to look for the next. Always be looking. Ask people you know that are avid readers what they’re reading. Search online for “top ten” lists of books and scan them to see if you are interested.  Also, if you find an author you like, keep going back for more books they’ve written.

The quick companion tip to a place to read with a designated time is always have a book with you. Keep one in your car, in your bag, and especially when you travel. There are so many times that I get stuck waiting, and I love it when I have a book with me. The time is not wasted!
