Two of the 10 steps for living a balanced life are to control your time and control yourself i.e. invest and improve in yourself.  Therefore, reading plays a vital role in living a balanced and fulfilling life.  However, reading books for most of us takes a great deal of time.  Therefore, I highly recommend that you do not read a book that has not been recommended by someone or some source you have come to trust.   Otherwise you may waste time, money or both.
