Yay! I get to start my top ten books and my top ten authors from my own personal collection. Now books can be overwhelming. It's because we look at it from cover to cover. Only 10% of people finish a book after they start it. I always suggest to pick a chapter, pick a page, pick 10 pages and do not move on without reading it six times. Live by it, make notes to hang up about what you learned, teach it to someone else, and then live by it. Listen to a book why you walk, while organizing, while in your subconscious.
The next part is to achieve a growth mindset. Get into a new routine with your time. Pick a book for each year and read it monthly. Just one book. Just be in it. Just be open. Just enjoy.
