Improve your life
I pick up self-help and management books all the time. And I've been skimming my way through one - it wasn't very good. I don't want to embarrass the author by naming the book! Because in just over 200 pages, I think I learned approximately, er, nothing.
Except for this one gem:
Once a week, ask for a suggestion from somebody and do what he or she says, even if you find it difficult. See what happens.
I like that. I might try it.
If you try it, let me know how you get on.
