"What makes a good business book stand out from all the others?
The best books always give us an opportunity to organize our experiences--to take what we know and give it shape and meaning and context. I've always said that we are all experience-rich and theory-poor. And to me the point of business books is to remedy that problem."- Malcolm Gladwell interview by Kevin Ohannessian(link is below)
A few post ago I wrote about So what? moments and stopping to think about what the meaning of those 5 posts is to you. When I read the interview that Malcolm did, the line that we are all experience-rich and theory-poor stood out.
This is another way of saying we read, do, and experience things BUT we do not always understand them(theory-poor).
Today's question is:
"When you are confronted by different sources telling you the same, how do you make yourself believe the information?"
