Want to Grow? Read!

There are a bajillion (yes its a word) quotes out there that will tell you that you have to control your mind or yourself to be truly successful.  From Buddha to Dr. Seuss, they will all tell you that the key to the Life, the Universe and Everything (thank you Douglas Adams) is all in your mind!  So let’s make 2016 a year for amazing growth and let’s start with reading.

I heard you groan!  Reading is hard you say.  It puts me to sleep you say. I hear you and me to sometime.  But that’s why I love Audible.  Audible allows you to listen to books.  I love to read (listen) to books while I’m driving or while I’m chillin.  I really love the fact that I can also speed up or slow down the audio.  I’ve trained myself to listen to most books at 1.5X, which makes it really interesting if I then actually meet an author or watch one of their videos.

Amazon also invented something else really cool called Whispersync. This allows you to buy the Kindle version and the Audible version and switch back and forth between them.  Pretty cool.

Since I am such a visual person I like to track and share the books I read.  Please check out my Pinterest Reading List for my favorites.  I’ve only posted my favorite business books up there right now, but I really should add my sci-fi / fantasy collection too!
