PLEASE. Stop Reading.

How many books have you read this year? 

I have read around 20 since last summer. More than some, less than others. But recently the following thought occurred to me. 

I've been reading books on self help and complex topics soley for the sake of reading them. I was going through my list and nothing more. 

In fact, I found sometimes I would read whole books, looking for information I already had. For example, I just finished a book and when I put it down I was upset because it hadn't told me to begin doing positive affirmations.

I already knew I wanted to do them, yet I wanted to read.
