How To Have More Power

I don't know who originally said knowledge is power. However, that's a well-known saying and I agree, especially if the knowledge pertains to a specific goal or outcome desired.

I was never much of a reader in my youth beyond what I had to read in school, and I think the quality of my life (or lack of) was evidence of that. Now I have so many more opportunities as a result of reading more not to mention simply being more observant of the world around me.

In any case, I just discovered scribd.com and I think it's what you might call the best thing since sliced bread. There's just so many interesting books! My interest currently is the topic of metaphysics + money. That's one topic, not two.

The following are some books/titles I downloaded:

  • Manifesting Money and Much More
  • How To Make Your Mind A Money Magnet
  • Dollars Flow To Me Easily

I'm able to download lots of books in PDF for free. There's lots of books with interesting titles I've never come across before. I don't even feel I have to force myself to read them, since they're so interesting. I read the title, then the Table of Content, then the Introduction and a page or two, and if it's still interesting, I download it.

I started by downloading a few books from scribd free, then was led to join a 30-day free trial, which seems to be a limitless number of books. After the free trial, the cost is only $8 a month. (I don't think there's anything in fine print that I missed out on that makes the cost actually higher, but I think I might cancel after 30-day trial anyway.)

There's both old and new books, so those of you with niches that have book reviews would benefit from scribd.com. I would highly recommend if you aren't already using scribd.com.

As I read more and more, I've discovered how to read faster and with more comprehension.

The secret is NOT to read a book just once, but more than once--two, three, four, even five or more times. One is NOT supposed to understand what one reads completely or even understand much at all the first time. Repetition is learning. The secret is NOT to mull over every word but to read swiftly. The secret is NOT to read every word starting from cover to cover but to first go through the entire book fast, reading just the Introduction and then spending about one second per page looking at main points like subheadings to get a sense of the book before returning to read the book. However, don't need to read every single word. It's important to focus on ideas rather than words. Also, eyes should move relatively quickly, almost glide and even fly.

I love being a voracious reader these days and believe it will prove to be one of the main reasons for my future success--besides WA, of course.

Sounds like a terrific resource. I'll give it a try.

Yes, it is. :-) Very easy to look at books and download. Once you start with a title, the site then suggests further titles on that topic.

Thanks for the tips.

:-) And thank you for your comment.
