If there is a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.-Toni Morrison
Like what you eat, what you digest in the way of books plays a critical role in your emotional and mental health. I recently reread my cousin's small book, An Invitation to Change, and borrowed a friend's The Four Agreements Book. Then I picked up and read a few pages of The Millionaire at Lunchtime, Suzanne Somers' Menopause Manual and then went onto the Millionaire Next Door and a fellow authors' book, the late Richard Parenti's Emotional Sobriety. So how do these things we read and digest help us navigate life? Thousands of people have lived before us and faced similar predicaments. We won't be the last and we certainly won't be the first, but we can BE the last person in our family to break the cycle of poverty, or the cycle of abuse. We can be the first to get a doctorate, or the first to learn the piano or the first to learn that life lessons aren't meant to hurt us, they are meant to teach us.
