RE: Why Does All The Billionaires Read Biographies.
What a great observation, I never really thought about that...Now that I do, I have indeed picked up a few things from other people, mostly small things, like a type of laugh (because it felt so infectious) or a style of walking (because it looked so groovy). Currently, I am trying to imitate people with a strong voice because mine sounds like a dying mouse's...
I do like to read biographies of successful people, I've read several of them. They always made me inspired but never really made me think the way the successful people did...Maybe I should be more open-minded.
Thanks for making me think so late at night ;)
Welcome.
Every time you read something, watch a movie or a series, you store some information in your brain, and that adds to your characteristics, but you may or may not notice it.
If you have ever read about the subconscious mind, you will know that everything we see is stored in our subconscious brain, even though we don't remember it.
I am certain that you must have picked something in your characteristics like honesty, courage, loyalty management after reading a biography because you felt inspired.
But you can never measure these characteristics, so you will never know about it.
That is also true, I have read a lot about the subconscious, so I was always imagining what it would feel like to have a full access to that part of the brain. I guess the person would just go crazy because the mind could not easily catch up...
You are probably right, I am always picking something subtly up and realize it only months later when someone tells me that I remind them of someone else...
Well, like you said - we will never know the real extent of people's influence over our actions. Thanks for sharing that!
Welcome.
