CoveyLink Must-Reads:
Books are the best way to accelerate your personal and business growth. We each read (and re-read) at least two books each month. We say re-read, as it is our experience, and the experience of our sharpest clients, that the person who re-reads a classic book, after a few years or even a few months experience, discovers that the book is read from a new perspective. Significant “new” insights, that escaped us on the first read, jump out at us. Just as he or she who doesn’t read is no better off than he or she who can’t read, one who says they have “already” read a book after only one read years before is missing the heart of growth. There are some books we have read 10 times and more over the years.
