My Secret Weapon to Getting Ahead

Listen Later

 I strongly believe society is in the under-developed mindset that it's in right now because reading isn't respected like it needs to be.   

Some fun facts for ya
  • Reading helps prevent Alzheimer's
  • 68% of books sold worldwide are bought by women
  • The word for loving the smell of old books is "Bibliosmia"
  • Dr. Seuss invented the word "nerd". He used it in his 1950 book "If I Ran the Zoo"

    • But on a more serious note, the greatest fun fact about reading is that it really does put you ahead. 

    What reading has done for me
    • Books have been my career mentor, allowing me to secure management positions at various companies at a young age
    • Books have improved my empathy for others. I'm able to learn from & get insight into people of various backgrounds and viewpoints, which helps when I interact with people throughout my day (I know how to appeal to people because I know how they think!)
    • Books have increased my analytical skills; and I've used those skills to secure jobs I'm educationally underqualified for

      • & so much more ... 

      I discuss the various techniques I use to get more books into my brain in today's episode. Enjoy Babe. Now go read somethin' <3
