Today's Question:
How often do you actually put into practice what you learn from reading nonfiction books (if you read nonfiction, that is)?
How often do you actually put into practice what you learn from reading nonfiction books (if you read nonfiction, that is)?
My Answer:
Today's question is an easy one, yet a boring one when it comes to me. The answer is No. I don't read self-help books. I did read one many years ago, can't even remember the title so I guess I didn't "put it into practice" lol.
What about you. If you want to join in the fun, link provided above.

I don't read self help..but I looked at this question as it refers to all non-fiction.
I don't think any of it need be 'useful'.
I do not read non-fiction at all. I like to read for enjoyment, not to learn anything! LOL
Probably the closest I have come to reading non-fiction is when I read memoirs. And oh yeah, I read some books that are part of the bible-study groups that I take part in....I guess those do count.
I love non-fiction. There are several books that have changed my way of thinking and my behavior: Michael Pollan's book on food, Garbage Land, Outliers, Silent Spring for a few.
I think that the question was referring to all nonfiction, not just self-help books, but I find it sad that so few have discovered the joy of reading for the pursuit of knowledge! It's really quite edifying.
I like the occasional non fiction and like memoirs. No self help though.... really dont like those books at all.
I have read non fiction but like you I tend to steer clear of Self Help books. Oh well ... one day I'll open that Who Says Voices in the Head is Bad book ;)
