Have you ever heard that you are the average of the 5 people you surround yourself with?
Well I believe the same to be true with the thoughts and media we surround ourselves with.
I never felt I was born a genius or particularly gifted in intelligence. But I am positive that the habit of reading (or listening to) books has vastly improved my mind and critical thinking. I attribute a large majority of my success to my habit of listening to audiobooks.
I feel my life is constantly uplifted and inspired by books. There is so much value added to my life from the books I read and although I gain a lot from each book, it is the overall habit of continually reading and taking in new information and lessons that has made the biggest impact on my life.
In this episode I go over the 8 books that have left the biggest impact, enjoy! https://www.famvestor.com/067

Ooh! Born to Run was a fascinating book. I read it from a health perspective on if elders can continue walking into their old age wearing minimalist shoes or barefoot. 4 hour workweek and 5 love language is definitely in my bucket list.
I wonder if you read the following books?
Diabetes Code by Dr. Jason Fung. He is a nephrologist in Canada and goes into the history of Diabetes and how people began to believe diabetes as a difficult chronic disease, when he treated many clients by suggesting clients to eat little or less refined carbohydrates or fast.
My favorite is Terry Real’s I don’t want to Talk about it: The Secret Legacy of Male Depression. Favorite quote in the book is a yiddish saying, “Sons want to know what the fathers want to forget.” The main takeaway was that men also needs their feminine side nurtured to become great fathers. However, often our parent’s generation did not have luxury to nurture their feminine side, as a result exhibit more violently, which is often male’s way of asking for help. I enjoyed how the book summarized that one’s relationship with their father is also an investment.
I have not read those, but they do sound interesting, especially the depression one, I will add it to the list.
