What Are You Reading Today?

You're procrastinating, from the Latin (pro - for and cras - tomorrow). You face the dreaded summer reading.

Director Werner Herzog summarizes, "Read. Read. Read. Read. Read." Readers are leaders. Readers achieve more.

I recently finished Making Decisions by Cambridge alum, former British cricket selector Ed Smith. Currently, I'm nearing the end of The Contact, book seven of the spy thriller series from Saul Herzog. And I'm a big fan of Dan Coyle (The Talent Code), although I wish his blog had more posts.

If you read two hours a day, in 90 days you have 180 more hours of knowledge and nuance than the non-reader (25 percent of Americans). Billionaire Steve Forbes reads 50 pages a day. Influencer and Author Dan Pink (Drive) suggests "do five more." Five more reps, five more pages, five more minutes help separate you from the crowd. 

Lagniappe. Trust the process.   

The Countdown is at 21 days.
