“With the economy headed for even more dramatic changes it’s as important as ever to know both how to stay ahead of the curve in business, and how to stay happy and fulfilled.” – Tony Robbins
Wise words from a wise leader in the personal growth industry.
Of course, you already knew that reading books was important and valuable – that’s why you’ve been buying them, right? And then life steps in and all of a sudden weeks or months have passed and you still haven’t read that book.
Tony’s suggestion is that what we need to do is constantly find new ways to make ourselves more valuable – and that reading (and applying) the right books (great books) is an essential ingredient.
He also points out that in order to be more fulfilled in our lives, we have to have meaning beyond ourselves.
And remember, we’ve named 2010 The Year of Fulfillment here at Personal Growth Princess.
You already know that growing yourself so you can grow others is paramount. The years of self-improvement being “selfish” are long gone. Anyone who has ever had a relationship with another human being knows that the more we love ourselves, take care of ourselves, and grow ourselves, the more love, care, and generosity we have to give others.
The problem is…how to actually find the time to find new ways to make ourselves more valuable.
That’s what PersonalGrowthPrincess is here to help with. You can read more of the details about the foundation here and here.
But the bottom line is if you are like most women, you already know what to do, and that you “should” be doing it, but you don’t have the time…or by the time you do have the time, you’re too exhausted to pick up a book and read it, must less understand and apply it!
Unfortunately we just don’t get more time. Time is what it is.We all have the same number of minutes in a day.
But, you can change the way you use the time you do have – and that will change everything.
For example, reading a 6-10 page summary of book that squeezes out all the most important points, making them easily accessible and understandable, can save you 20+ hours of reading.
Or listening to an in-depth interview with the author to hear what she or he was really thinking when they wrote their book…what it really means, and how you can use it right away…then you’ve just leveraged your time in a masterful way. Listening in the car or on your ipod maximizes your productivity even further.
And, of course, there is always the transcript of the entire interview.
So, if you want to take Tony Robbins’ advice and start focusing on the books that can help you not only make yourself more valuable in the workplace, but also help you make your life even more fulfilling, Personal Growth Princess may be the system that helps get you there.

By the way, one of the books Tony suggests, The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth In Ancient Wisdom, by John Haidt, is on our list of books to include down the road – just waiting for the details to be taken care of!
