It is enjoyable to further one’s knowledge about a topic if it is an interest that you engage in. I like skiing so at one point I read a book about how to get in touch with my inner skiier. It helped me be more in my moment of experience when I got the chance to go skiing. I also read a book about the tao of singing since I studied voice, and I did some alternative workshops about non-classical ways to experience the power of my own voice. Books about most subjects especially if they contain a hands on approach really do help a person to learn and grow. It’s really nice to have a physical book with you in your own home so you can pick it up at anytime and use the information and exercises it contains.
All of these books and activities I mentioned above helped me out a lot. Another activity I enjoy doing is writing. By now I have read as many books as I’ve been able to easily find about writing. I wish more people would publish book writing tips. I own several books full of writing tips but if more people would publish book writing tips then I would definitely want to read the books, and probably own them because it is a special interest of mine. It seems that any topic you develop a special interest in, usually only has a certain amount of others who have devoted their life’s work to writing about the topic so it can be fairly easy to almost exhaust a topic.
Unless of course you are willing to branch out and read the opinions of laypeople on the internet. That can be informative too but if more people would publish book writing tips it would make me happier because the quality of the writing on the internet does tend to vary. And if someone puts a bunch of time into writing and publishing a book about a subject it is usually more comprehensive and larger in it’s scope.
