Does reading change your life???

Dear friend, I hope many knowledge I got from my education are from reading books and more over it has changed my life. With that knowledge mostly from books helped a lot even to be here typing this. Hence I feel reading books that too good books gives a better impact to life may in my life it had happened. But I do not have any reading habit or hobby.

I cant say that I have but I have certainly read books which evoke a strong emotion within me and get me try something new. Just cant say they have been life changing.

yes, reading can definitely change a life. i have read stephen covey's 7 habits of highly effective people, friendship with god by donald wealsch, napoleon hills think and grow rich and other inspiring and motivational books and it indeed change the way i think.thus, they way i am. you see we are a product of what we see in our minds that is why reading the right stuff and being expose to a lot of positive things can change the way you are.

Reading can change my life if I am very motivated and agree with the authors approach. I might learn how to achieve something but some of my habits might prevent me from going the whole distance on a self help project. Like for years I have read books on home organization and clutter clearing. I try to imagine an unwanted item in a a cloud that floats away. However I still have emotional clutter that I can't seem to get rid of. One of the worst things for me to sort though is paperwork.

I'm not into reading.. I do know that reading helps in building our life to certain extend but it does not really affect the way we live our life.. Reading is just to absorb information from the book, but whatever is mentioned in it, might not apply to our daily lives.. Everybody has got different expectatiions and views towards life, thus it's hard to say, reading a book can actually change a person..

I have read many self help books, some them have been really good, and others have been less useful or not useful at all. Some of the books I have read more than once, and I have had very different results with them. I read "You'll see when you believe it" by Wayne Dyer many years ago, and at that time I didn't like it, I thought it was a waste of time and I simply didn't understand the ideas that he was writing about. Now Wayne Dyer has become one of my favourite authors, and his books have been very useful for me. The books are the same, but I am at a different point in my life now than I was back then, and now his ideas make a lot of sense to me. Reading self help books hasn't changed my life, I would rather say that I have changed "on my own" and the books have helped me understand those changes, and they have supported a development that was already there.

I am not a reader, I hate reading but I think self help books can help some people but only to a point, there is nothing like life experience and find things out for yourself, but i guess some books can be like a guide along the way.

I love to read. i read a lot of books. One of the very few types of books I won't waste my time is self help books. The only book I can really see changing your life is the Bible.

I like to read and I do enjoy a good book. I mostly read non-fiction like computer books or science books and they do improve my life. Cheers!!

I think they can be helpful and help you make decisions, but I dont know that they have really helped anyone change their life at least not that I am aware of. If you have been significantly helped by this you should write in and let us know how you feel. It might be interesting.

Hello figjam00! Well, i have been reading a lot since I was a kid and all I know that reading played a big role in molding me. I have learned so much in reading. Things that i haven't learned in school. It also helps me retain all the lessons in school.
