Hi everyone,

I’m continuously on a path of self-improvement. That being said I have seen many people I look up to suggest lists of books to read and SWEAR by them as a source of personal improvement.

I love reading and have no problem with reading all the books on these lists.

That being said, I was wondering if from experience they are super useful simply by reading, if you absorb the lessons and advice as you read. I don’t have a lot of extra time and mental capacity (full time student + work) and I’m worried that after reading these books they won’t be that useful without essentially studying them the same way you would a textbook.

Thanks!
