This is the Read to Lead podcast, episode 4.58.

My name is Jeff Brown, and this is the podcast dedicated to your personal and professional growth.

You know what?

Since we met last week, I have turned another year older.

Does it show?

Can you tell?

But hopefully not. I feel pretty much the same. Thanks for asking. I started this podcast many years ago out of a belief that if you want to achieve true success in your business and in your life, then intentional and consistent reading has to be a part of that plan. what I try to do is bring you the main ideas and key insights from a book I've enjoyed

through a conversation with that plan. So what I try to do is bring you the main ideas and key insights

from a book I've enjoyed through a conversation with that book's author. Sometimes I'll even do

that by sharing a summary of a book, an audio summary of a book I've really enjoyed. Now, I haven't

done that for quite some time, and I was messaging a particular author recently, and as I was talking to him, it reminded me that I hadn't done this in a while.

And I thought I would bring you a book summary today.

Another reason I wanted to do that because it's a great excuse to remind you that each and every week, you can get access to a new book summary at my website, jeffbrown.me. That's not the podcast website. You may be used to hearing readtolead podcast.com. Of course, that's where the podcast is found. But jeffbrown.com is where I'm building the read to lead community. And we offer a new book summary every single week. In fact, just over the weekend, we posted a summary for how to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie.

It's free to get access to those summaries.

Just go to jeffbrown.me, create an account, and you're well on your way.

Plus, you're a part of a community of others who take personal and professional development as seriously as you do.

We can actually begin to develop as it grows conversations around some of

these books as we've just begun to do as we speak. Now, I'm going to admit right out of the gate

that there's probably a better than average chance that you've read the book that's featured

today, the summary that I'm going to share. If you haven't yet read it, I'll bet you've either

purchased it to read or it's on your books I Want to Buy Soon list. If you have read the book,

like me, chances are you haven't read it in a while and a refresher's never a bad thing.
