The more that you read, the more things you will know. The
more that you learn, the more places youll go.
Dr. Seuss
If youve been paying any attention to the news over the last few
years, the general consensus seems to agree the act of reading is
in decline. As avid readers and authors, the statistics make Marc
and I cringe sometimes. But were optimistic for another reason.
Were not alone either. We know very few leaders who are
uninterested in reading, regardless of their industry or
profession. And many of them read even more frequently than

we do.
The bottom line is that all readers are likely to become leaders in
some capacity, even if they are simply leaders within their
families and close social circles, or leaders of their own peace of
mind and happiness. And with reading in decline, readers
possess a comparative advantage in all walks of life.
The biggest advantage that reading gives us, I think, is the fact
that its one of the most efficient ways to acquire new
information, and we all need a lot of everyday information to keep
things in perspective and seize good opportunities. But reading
does more than just give us a new set of tools for thinking; it
actually upgrades all of our existing intellectual tools as well,
especially our problem-solving and analytical capabilities.

2015 was the year of huge and unexpected changes for me and Im
grateful!
I left a job of 23 years and despite a big loss of income, I couldnt
be happier.
We purged our home of at least 1/2 (probably more) of its stuff.
We sold our big home and downsized to an apartment half the
size (and love it!)
Ive been introduced to an online community that I didnt know
even existed and Im learning so many wonderful things. Im

Hooray for reading!! My husband and I are both avid readers and
not a day goes by that you wont find one, or usually both of us,
with our noses in a book. Hubby loves music biographies and
history books. I love self-help, business, biographies of strong
women, the occasional novel, and history books.

You two are rolling and it is great. I met someone a while back
who mentioned your stuff, which I have known of for years since
I started my site in 2008. It is good.
