Have you ever read a book, a story, or an article and thought, “Everyone should read this. It would change the world.”? This still happens to me now, but it was most frequent when I was in college. Yes, I was in college way back in the 1980s, so these books have been around a while. And they changed my life!
If you look at my life now, you may ask yourself why you’d want my life. It’s no great shakes being me. I’m in my mid-fifties and early retired because of disability. I’m the poster child of when wunderkind burn out in adulthood and fall flat on their faces. But without these books, it would have happened sooner. Without these books, I’d be dead instead of just hurting, sometimes addled, and still fighting like hell to keep living. Keep that in mind.
