“I Read That”
People tend to read a book, put it on the bookshelf, and then say, “I read that.”
While that may be okay for a novel, a self help book requires more. Maybe a second read, or some highlighted sections, or some notes in the white space.
When I first got this e-mail below from Rod Newbound in Mount Vernon, Washington, I was deeply touched and asked his permission to share parts of it on this blog. He gladly provided that permission, so I did. I looked at it again recently and was moved to post it again, so here it is:

Dear Ron,

A friend of mine suggested I get your book, Success Made Easy, so I managed to find it in Hawaii and have read almost half. Your approach is so different from all the mumbo-jumbo out there. I really appreciate it. In front of me on my desk, I have the words, “What can I do right now, this minute, to create more success?” Yesterday, after writing it down on a red note card, I began applying it.
Frankly, I was quite amazed at how my subconscious took over and directed me all day. The ideas just kept flooding out. I could hardly work fast enough to keep up!
I have taken a look at your website, and will be ordering your other books very soon. When you asked what I do, I had no idea our interests were so similar.
Kind regards,

Rod Newbound
