1) "A change in perspective is worth 80 IQ points."
The most powerful books aren't the ones that teach you new skills but the ones that chance your perspective on life.
A new perspective can change the way you live.
That's powerful.

2) Rereading your favourite book is never a waste of time
I've read 100s of books but of those, maybe 15-20 would make my all time favourite list.
The best books have so much wisdom it's impossible to absorb them all in one sitting.

hit you differently based on the amount of life experience you have.
For example, how to win friends and influence people was not as useful to me at age 18 (when I first read it) as it was in my late 20s when I had more social experience.

3) If you don't enjoy it, don't do it
Some people don't like to read so they force themselves to do it because they heard it was a good idea.

5) Reading is a form of *passive* learning
I'm sick of seeing the Reading vs Taking Action debates.
How's this for a crazy idea? DO BOTH
Reading is passive.
Taking action aka Living is active.
Do both and you'll be way ahead of the crowd who only does one or the other.
