Self Help Books: How do you find the right book for you? - Episode 61

In this episode, you'll discover: How do you know which books to choose? The myth of the overnight success self-help book Books I've found interesting, awesome books gifted, and other recommendations from over the years What to do to get the most out of your book choices How do you find the right book for you? Let me begin by saying that I understand there's a possibility that I'm a little bit of a nerd. When it comes to my friends, I'll gift books rather than clothes, boos, or gift cards around the holidays. I get kind of giddy when I walk into a Barnes & Noble bookstore. And, every once in awhile I'll take a Saturday afternoon to sit in a local Starbucks to catch up on my reading. Yup. Nerd. The truth is, with Amazon (especially Amazon Prime) getting access to great books is easier and cheaper than ever before. However, the difficulty lies within choosing the right book.  Based on zero data other than conversations from over the years, I'd say the average American reads maybe one non-fiction book a year. Which begs the questions... What's a good book that's going to add value to your life? What's going to challenge your thinking? How do you know if it's full of crap or a book that's going to make a huge impact on your life? This week we dive into an incredibly common question that casually pops up with clients, "Do you have any book recommendations?".  I discuss some of the more appealing reads I've found over the years and how you can apply your sensibilities to find the book that's right for you. Unfortunately, While I've yet to find the book that can change my life overnight, if you do have a recommendation, please let me know in the comment section below!
