Books Are Tools, Not Magic Spells

Yesterday morning, a client of mine, Peter, sent me a lovely text stating the following:

Peter: "You’re like the human AI!"

Me: "Why?"

Peter: "Because you’ve read every non-fiction book ever written and you have a book recommendation for every dilemma."

Peter is exaggerating, but it’s true that I've always been a reader. In a way, I’ve been educating myself through books since I was in my teens.

I was hard-pressed to crack open a textbook, but I devoured anything about human behavior, human potential, and the metaphysical.

However, my insights and learnings—those that have led me to become a Professional Coach—have less to do with consuming information and a lot more to do with taking the time and putting in the effort to digest what I consume.
