Topic: Can books change your life?
Has something you read ever stuck with you and altered the way you think and behave?
There is, of course, a big market in self-help manuals that aim to achieve just that.
However, sometimes unexpected insights, arising from an idea or concept delivered by an author, fact or fiction, generate a revelation in views or understanding.
Reading can impact your thoughts, emotions and perceptions. Leading to personal growth, new perspectives, and a deeper appreciation of yourself and the world around you.
While not every book is a life-altering experience, some may turn out to be central to the way you view, and live, your life.
Books may increase your knowledge, challenge your beliefs, promote empathy for other perspectives, or prompt you to re-evaluate your own assumptions and attitudes.
As an avid reader for many years, some themes, phrases and quotations have embedded themselves in my consciousness and influenced directions in my life and personality.
Have you had similar experiences? If so, what has changed for you?
