Want To Make A Life-changing Decision? How Can Reading Help You?

I recently read an article that explained the impact of the book “Nonviolent Communication” by Marshall B. Rosenberg in the transformation of Microsoft.

I don’t know Microsoft from the inside, but I know the book. I read it many years ago. And that does not surprise me.

It’s an excellent book that helps to develop your emotional intelligence.

What I like about this story. It’s the power of books and the role they can play in our lives.

I can’t count the number of times this has been the case in my life.

• The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. A framework for approaching my life in the proper way. My summary here.
• Use Your Head by Tony Buzan: I discovered Mind Mapping, a tool I use daily to clarify my thinking. My summary here.
• The Simple Path to Wealth by J. Collins helped me achieve financial independence. My summary here.
• Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins: Created ambitious plans for my future.
• ChiRunning by Danny Dreyer: has transformed the way I run. I have run several marathons and even a 100 km thanks to this running philosophy.
• Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know by Adam Grant. To get out of binary thinking. My summary here.
• Getting Things Done by David Allen: Give me a structure to Improve my productivity. My summary here.
• The Life‑Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo : to adopt a more minimalist life. I think twice before buying a new object.

And I could go on like this for a long time. Books have radically changed my life.

Alone, comfortably installed in my armchair, I can choose a person who inspires me. I can read their life story and take out what interests me the most.

What if your next book was the trigger for a major life-changing decision?
