Books are like my friends. Without them I find myself incomplete. Whenever I
have a mental challenge or emotional struggle, I move into my mini home
library (where I now have close to 1,000 books) and find a book (a friend) that
helps me clear my thought and overcome my emotions.
Books are a unique medium of learning and have a very special place even in
today’s multi-media environment. When we read books, our brain is forced to
visualize what we read. This process creates a better retention of contents in
our mind compared to, for example, when we watch a video.
Leaders are readers. If you have ambition to reach to the top, you must
develop the habits of reading books. Articles and blogs do not count. These
short reads are good for updating your knowledge. But in order to really gain
deep insights into a particular topic, there is no better way than reading a
good book.
“Those who do not read are no better off than those who cannot.” – Chinese
Proverb

are all best-selling books, so I am sure you may have already read some or all
of them. If not, then start from the top.
