Many of today's leaders, podcasters, and influencers often boast about their literary habits, claiming to draw wisdom from good books. Yet, their actions and words frequently betray a stark disconnect from the values and lessons these books espouse. Whether they are merely paying lip service or failing to internalize the teachings, it becomes evident that their proclamations of enlightenment are more about image than substance. They believe that money, power, fame, and conformity are the ultimate goals in life, mistaking these empty pursuits for true wisdom. They are mistaken.
This discrepancy raises questions about authenticity and the true impact of literature on their lives and decisions.
Don't be like them. Be better. Dive into the books, interact with their ideas, challenge their perspectives. Learn and grow from them.
