Reading 'Personal Development' Books is Essential
Mark S. Karoly, Executive Associate. Allentown, PA
We live in a very competitive world. Any person who wants a “piece of the pie” has to fight for it. Today, we go about getting a larger piece of the pie by increasing our self-worth through various means. One of which, is engaging in Personal Development!
We are constantly surrounded with negativity, from people, TV, radio, and newspapers. It’s important that we counter this negativity, by only focusing on media that is positive and uplifting. More and more people are turning to Self-Help to improve themselves. They know that the results are well documented, proven and very successful!
What is the magic behind the personal development genre? First, focused motivation in areas in which you are interested. Motivation empowers an individual with a positive mindset, and the correct attitude to develop skills… which increases your energy, drive, and productivity!
Self-help media provides specialized knowledge that isn’t available in our educational system. What is specialized knowledge? It’s what you seek, is what you will find! There are many types of media available in every area of life; all that is required, is for you to make the time to ingest and absorb the information.
This specialized information and knowledge is extremely valuable and practical, once you apply it. New knowledge opens the mind and expands it. You will be exposed to new ideas and perspectives that will take you to the next level in life!
The acquisition of new knowledge is vitally important to remain competitive in today’s world!
However, knowledge alone is not sufficient to bring you to greater heights! This can greatly shorten the learning curve and reduce the time needed to achieve the outcome you desire.
What I have learned from reading over 350 personal development books in my lifetime is this: They have the ability to act as a mentor to us. Mentors have valuable experience in their specialized fields that they want to share with us; insights and ideas never known to us before.
Everyone recognizes the many benefits of a good mentor, but most of us are not lucky enough to find such a mentor to guide us.
