Why this site exists

This blog has one purpose: to help you make the most of the advice that books dish out.  The world is awash in information and it is very time consuming to filter out the garbage; that is where I come in.  I read all the time, almost exclusively non-fiction.  My bedroom has several shelves full of books.  The reason you care about this is that I can save you time.  This is not a review site, check Amazon for that like we all do.  My goal is to take books, purge the fluff and leave you with the bits of wisdom that are not hypothetical. The whole point is to give you short blurbs that if followed will improve some aspect of your life.  My library is very full of self help books so it may seem like the blog focuses on personal improvement and that is an important category to me.  Any useful advice is up for grabs, just as long as you can implement in some way that will help.

I not only use all the brains that I have, but all that I can borrow.
