Want To Make A Life-changing Decision? How Can Reading Help You?

I recently read an article that explained the impact of the book “Nonviolent Communication” by Marshall B. Rosenberg in the transformation of Microsoft.

I don’t know Microsoft from the inside, but I know the book. I read it many years ago. And that does not surprise me.

It’s an excellent book that helps to develop your emotional intelligence.

What I like about this story. It’s the power of books and the role they can play in our lives.

I can’t count the number of times this has been the case in my life.

    1. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey.

I recently read "Think again" that inspired this:

But "7 habits" and "Awaken the giant" were my first introduction to self-development particularly the former which i still reread every year.

Hi @stevewinroad , thank you for sharing.

I also enjoyed "think again". And I reread often "the 7 habits".

Have a great day.
