One sentence can save a book

I bought a book about the publishing industry a month or two ago, and so far, I haven’t been convinced it was a worthwhile purchase. That was until this morning. One line, about 90 pages in, might just change everything for the next phase of my career. 

This is the funny thing about nonfiction books. (More specifically, prescriptive nonfiction, which is a term I just learned reading this new book.) One single sentence can pay for the investment of the book one hundred, one thousand, or even ten thousand times over. The cost of a book is nominal. Fifteen or twenty dollars is all you’re looking at. If one idea in that book leads you down a profitable path, it pays for all the other books. 

For me, books are still the highest value education products by a mile. The smartest people in the world spend years of their lives researching, interviewing, writing, refining, and editing, and you can get access to that information for a few bucks. 

Is this a covert ad for my book? Definitely not. So definitely don’t click this link.
