Jim Rohn......................................

Faithful readers of this blog will know that Jim Rohn has long been a favorite of mine.  Last week I stumbled across Twelve Pillars, a book he co-wrote.  They call it a novel, but really is just a vehicle for easily conveying his philosophy for living a better life.  If you get interrupted twice, it might take an hour and a half to read.  Of course, one might benefit from re-reading it weekly.
      The hero of the tale says at one point, "Formal education will make you a living.  Self-education will make you a fortune."  He then offers up a reading list, "Books Everyone Should Read," as a pretty good starting point for self-education.  See if you agree:

1.   The Bible
2.   How to Read A Book,  Mortimer Adler
3.   My Utmost for His Highest,  Oswald Chambers
4.   As A Man Thinketh,  James Allen
