I once read that Warren Buffet said that if he could have one superpower he will choose to read faster. I never forgot that, and he is very true. A few years ago I made the commitment of reading 20 pages daily, to be honest, I didn’t like to read. I chose easy books with big letters and images.
I started to fall in love with reading, it expanded my universe of possibilities and made me a better person. Reading improved my vocabulary, spelling, my mindset and made me wealthier. I learned that my income is 100% related to what I know and how I apply that knowledge.
I will give you here my favorite list of books about mindset you should read.
