The Butterfly Effect: How Your Life Matters
With any new project there invariably comes the question, "why did you do that first?" In this particular case that question could be reworded to, "why did you choose that book first?"
Ultimately, one book simply had to be first and as this list grows I am sure you will find many that just as easily could have been first. For our purposes here, however, I chose The Butterfly Effect: How Your Life Matters by Andy Andrews to get everything kicked off and rolling.
The reason for this choice is twofold.
First, The Butterfly Effect is a short and easy to read book. It can be read in right around 20 minutes and should be consumed in one sitting.
Second, The Butterfly Effect shows us how "every move we make and every action we take, matters." This knowledge and understanding of your unique importance to not only your life but the lives of everyone around you and many, many more whom you have never met is a principle that should be the foundation upon which the rest of your growth and is built.
For these reasons, The Butterfly Effect seemed to be the perfect book with which to launch the Success Reading List.
In The Butterfly Effect, Andy Andrews, in his masterful storytelling way, relates the true life stories of two men you have probably never heard of but who have had incalculable effects on your life. The stories of Joshua Chamberlain and Norman Borlaug are not only intriguing and entertaining but they are so powerful they can't help but change your viewpoint on your importance and place in the world.
If you have never read The Butterfly Effect before, find a quiet place and take 20 minutes to do so. The results could very likely be life changing.
Before I finish today I wanted to let you know there is actually a third reason that I chose The Butterfly Effect to be the first book I reviewed here in the Success Reading List. In this particular case, Andy Andrews has written a version of the book called The Kid Who Changed The World. It is written for a younger audience and anyone with children may want to get a copy to read with or to their children.
