Love Books? You Need to See This!

Monday, 29 July 2024 Written by Cheryl Richardson

I’m on break this week and sharing a reader’s favorite blog I sent a few years back.

If you love books, please take the time to check out the video I mentioned (even if you’ve seen it before). It’s well worth your time. Enjoy!

My friend Bruce is a great guy – smart, funny, and someone who always knows just what to say when you need a friend. We met years ago when I was a guest on a radio show he produced in Boston. It was one of those meetings when you know in your gut that you’ve been reunited with a soul brother.

Bruce sent me a video I wanted to share with you. It’s called: How to Read More Books in the Golden Age of Content by Max Joseph, and if you love books, you’ll want to watch this video.

How to Read More Books in the Golden Age of Content is about the love affair many of us have with books. It’s also about maximizing your ability to read (and enjoy!) more books during your lifetime. As you watch the story unfold, there’s a good chance you’ll be gobsmacked by what you discover. Not to mention that Max takes you on a journey to some of the most beautiful bookstores in the world.

I love books, I always have. I’ve been reading for as long as I can remember. Right now, I have three books on my nightstand and at least five more on a bookshelf nearby ready to replace those I finish. Whether it be a sensual love story, an intellectual romp through the workings of the brain, or a personal account of courage and transformation, I love to lose myself in a story. When I’m done reading, I want to be smarter, touched in a meaningful way, entertained, or left feeling more courageous and enlightened. What I don’t want is to take my love of reading for granted.

When I finished watching Max’s video, I thought about the books by my bed in a very different way. If I have a limited number of books left to read during my lifetime, I realized, I better make sure I choose wisely. Thanks to Max’s video, I have no interest in wasting precious time reading books, social media posts, online articles, or blogs that leave me intellectually or spiritually malnourished. And if I get bogged down after 20 or 30 pages of a new book and lose interest, I’d rather give it away.

The video has inspired me to fill my life with as much soul food as possible during my remaining years. So, pour yourself a cup of tea or a glass of wine, and enjoy Max’s video. You can find it here.

Ok, off to do a little reading…

Love,
Cheryl
