“Reason is a slave of the passions.”
– David Hume.
The most amazing advantage of reading books is that from time to time we get an opportunity to be blown away by an idea or an approach towards a topic. We see this being mentioned again & again. Like Buffett being influenced by “The Intelligent Investor” or Tim Cook being moved by “Competing Against Time” or the famous Jeff Bezos’ Reading list & so on.
The beauty of being influenced by books is that it can be never ending. It leads to opening up of more unexpected avenues of learning, about ourselves & the world.
