Why neglect fiction books is an error

Every day, on YouTube I have a ” successful entrepreneur “ who proposes me the best offer on the market. I can have the 25 most successful books , resume in one small book that he sells.

If I listen to him , I just have to read his book to change my life forever.

I’m not sure but that seems too good to be true.

You would understand , I’m here to talk about reading.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s really important to read books. It’s good for the brain , and it’s also a way to step back. But I see so many young guys who think that read books and watching YouTube videos is the best way to reach their goals. Yes, I was one of those guys.

However it’s not how many books you have read that determine how successful you will be. Rather, if you don’t read a single book in your entire lifetime , you have more chance to fail.

A business book needs to be read carefully, you should take the time to write some notes , to think and the most important part to act. So, that’s not easy to read non-fictional books. You can have read a thousand books but if you never act , in ten years , you will be at the same point.

You can object to me that we don’t have time to live all the experiences on earth.

Then came , biographies. That’s a good way , to dive on the most illustrious mind of history.

Biographies are really good , if we want to study the life of a man.

If it’s a good one, you could see how his mind evolves when he grows up.

Learn from the mistakes of the protagonist is great , you can take the lessons, without have to pay for the mistakes. It’s a good way to achieve our goals more quickly. The biography allows us to go back in time. That’s pretty cool.

However the biographies are very long and you can have only what the authors found or what he wants to share with us. And that’s not easy to read.

Last year , my teacher told us something really meaningful. He was telling us that he asked the second years to make a presentation on a book they read. He liked to ask people which book they choose and on 30 students none of them choose a fiction book.

Don’t forget the fiction books.

The fiction books are the first that we read. Fiction books are for everybody and pleasant.

The human’s brain remember better a story than a concept. When you read a story , you want to know how that end , so you want to finish the book. It’s also a great way to pass his time , while away from screens. We have the greatest authors in fiction books.

Who is better to immerse you during the revolution war in France than Victor Hugo in

« Ninety-three » ?

Who is better to immerse you in a love story , during Spain civil war than Hemingway in « for whom the bell tolls » ?

And I can continue for a long time , but I will just give you my favorite authors Kerouac, Tolstoy, Harper lee and Camus.

I’m not here to say , you should only read fiction books. I just want to say that you can enjoy when you learn. And one of the ways is to read fiction books. That can be a big part of the equation among non-fictional books .
