ABOUT LIBRARY OF MENTORS

BOOKS ARE MENTORS. They can guide what we do in our lives and how we do it. Many of us love books while we read them and they even resonate with us a few weeks later, but after 2 years we can't remember if we read it or not. And that's just not right. We remember that, at the time, that book meant a lot to us. Why is it that some time later we have forgotten all about it?

 

This summary takes the most important ideas from the original book.

 

Many people don't like to read, they just want to know what the book says they should do. If you trust the author you don't need the arguments. Most books are arguments for their ideas, but very often we don't need arguments if we trust the source. We can understand the idea immediately.

 

All this information is in the original book. This summary makes an effort to reduce redundancies and turn them into straight to the point instructions for people who do not intend to read the book in its entirety.
