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.
Exactly. I read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" when I was 18 and it was life changing for me at the time. But the stuff in that book is pretty elementary and if I read it for the first time today it would probably seem pretty stupid.
The author of Rich Dad Poor Dad recently filed for bankruptcy. Ironic right?
Not him, his company
