Glad to know you put it to practice. Ensuring that every day we soak up a little information that reminds us of who we want to be can have tremendously positive effects on us.

This time I'm going to keep the books around and see what happens. :-) I have a few stock books that I love and I read and reread them, and usually if I’m reading them a lot, and regularly, a big change will be coming, but then I set the books aside and there’s a cycle of same ol same ol, and then the books come out and then there’s change.

The lag is because the new neural passageway is developing. And the old neural passageway is dieing. Of course, hard work must be done for this process to occur. But with enough hard work, it happens. Can't recommend that book enough. I'll check out your recommendation too. That’s a good point and I think you’re exactly right.

Thanks for this great insight. I loved all your quotes! Reading (and then internalizing) the wisdom of others has been a huge part of several deep changes I've made in my life. I totally agree with this: "don’t give it up if it hasn’t worked immediately. There can be a lag before the results really show." For me, there is ALWAYS a lag. I think that has something to do with the way new pathways form in our brains. It takes time to really get a deep new pathway formed. I look forward to checking out Awaken the Giant Within. The book that was probably most transformative for me was Steering by Starlight by Martha Beck. Hey there! Thanks for this great insight. I loved all your quotes!

Reading books is probably the best thing a blogger can do. I wrote a post on this subject recently, but it hasn't gone live yet. Reading blogs is an important part of a blogger's strategy for coming up with ideas. But... if you want to stand out and come up with really unique ideas that no one else is, books are the best source. True. Reading books is probably the best thing a blogger can do.
