It's not the content alone of any book that changes your life, but the context of your life while you're reading.
If you're going through something tough, sometimes the right words can give you such clarity that you take dramatic action to change things for the better.
People who credit a book for changing their lives, really just had the courage to make a change when new information was presented to them.
Others didn't have the courage when in the same position, and maybe another book will have a big impact at another time.
Absolutely.
I'll add that books can also be mentally banked for the future.
For me it's been 40+ years of books that created a tapestry. I've been going through hell, but the foundation was there.
