In 2009 Did You Read About...

In 2009 Did You Read About...?

Inspired by a post by Coach Al Johnson, entitled "Read to Lead" (http://coachaljohnson.wordpress.com/2009/12/27/read-to-lead/#comment-53)

I thought I would share a list of the books Ambassador Bruny read in 2009.  Don't just enjoy, participate.  What did you read in 2009?  What's on deck for 2010?

For those of you who are super busy and are wondering how in heavens name did I find the time to read all these books, it was easy.  I followed the Run the Point Philosophy; Run the Point, from where you are, with what you have.  Insight on how you can do the same:

1. Audio Books: You'll notice a number of the books on my list are audio books.  That means I listened to the books whenever I was in the car.
2. Multitask: I listened to some of my audio books while riding the cardio bike at the gym.  I also listened to one of the audio books while on a hike in New Hampshire.
3. Break it Down: When it comes to actually reading books, I have developed the discipline to read ONLY 10 pages a day.  My brain registers it as, "It's only 10 pages.  If you can't do that Mike, then you're just not serious about your personal development."  If you follow the 10 pages a day program for 1 month, you can finish a 300 page book in 30 days.
