5 effective ways how to make your books more valuable.by Patric Chan copyright 2004.
I had just purchased another motivational book by Anthony Robbins last week. In fact, that's
fourth Anthony Robbins book that I had bought.
When I got home that day, I realized that I got a shelf full of self improvement books!!
Sometimes, we never did finish reading
books that we had bought.
That's why, I've come up with 5 ways on how you can make full use of
self improvement books that you've bought.
1. Read it several times.
Don't read books as if it's a marathon competition that you must finish reading as many books as possible in your life.
It's better to learn and understand 5 books content that you had read rather than to complete reading 20 books but you cannot understand or remember.
From my experience, I realized that I'll be able to absorb more knowledge and understand what
book is teaching on
second time of reading it.
2. Share
knowledge learned.
Research has shown that if you share with others what you had learned, you'll learn and understand
information much more better. When you shared, you’ll also help those who you shared with.
You can also share your thoughts at online forums. One of
online forum that I post is Anthony Robbins's online website forum, http://www.anthonyrobbins.com/community/
3. Swap
book you have with you friends.
I know it is fun to collect books. But sometimes, there are some books that you like to read, but you do not necessary need to own or buy it.
Here is an example. My favorite speaker is Anthony Robbins and I listen to all of his audios but, I just like to read Jim Rohn's book. I don't necessary need to buy Jim's book. What I’ll do is that, I'll call my friend who likes to buy Jim Rohn's book and exchange with him my Anthony Robbins books.
