Wondered if reading such books increases any chances of beeing profitable.
- wyem 4y agoSeems so - from the founders' quotes in the same article.
- vcryan 4y agodoubt it. Most people read books for entertainment (which is fine!) then implement none of the recommended strategies in their life/business. If you pick any book that is reasonably well regarded and actually implement some appropriate form of the strategy you will probably experience a benefit or even significant benefit... still, very few people do this. They read 20 books and implement nothing. Read one book and implement half of the recommendations and you will be far ahead.
- rg111 4y agoVery true, if you can implement one of ten things taught in a good book to your life, that is much, much, much better than reading 30 books and implementing nothing. I _immensely_ benefited from implementing one/two things from some books like Deep Work, Atomic Habits, The Mind Illuminated, etc.
