Reading books can change our lives.
From the physical, cognitive and mental benefits that come with sustained reading to the ways that reading can spark new ideas and actions in our lives, a single book could change everything.
Today, I’m sharing 10 ways that we can take inspired action from the books we read to lift the lessons off of the page and into our actual life. From connecting with a friend to trying a new recipe, I’ve got an idea for everyone.
