This week on BTT:
Has a book ever inspired you to change anything in your life, fiction or non-fiction alike?
There have been books I loved, books that I fell in love with, and books that changed my life, and they’re not always the same nor mutually exclusive.
I have read some inspiring books both fiction and non fiction. I don’t know if they have necessarily changed my life in a big way though. I think a lot of good books offer you reflection and introspection on your own life which can be a catalyst for change. That’s one of the best things about reading. I can’t really think of many books that changed my life in a big way, but the act of reading does make one think of things afterwards and that in itself can lead to change big or small. Certainly, my tastes change over time as well.

Yes, change is subtle and comes about by shifting our thoughts, feelings, attitudes…and happens over time.

I see books as great parts of a change, but not as the one factor that makes it all happen. So, good answer.

Hi Athena,
For me, nonfiction books are the ones that really change my thoughts about life. I need confirmation that things really work in real life. I’ve read a book called millionaire fastlane that really puts things in perspective and makes me work harder and be a better person in life.
