thanks Chris. click on this link to watch the 30 second video
I have used books as mentors in my life. When I was 23 years
old I followed my passion, and using books I taught myself to sculpt.
I love making my living as an artist. I spend thousands of
hours a year working alone in my studio. I work all day using my hands to
create but my ears are free to listen. So, while I work I listen to nonfiction
audio books.
I listen to over 150 books a year. I never feel alone when I
am listening to a good audio book in my studio or truck. Something magical
happens when you listen to a great book it enriches your internal world, It
opens your mind and sparks your imagination. Books help you learn and allow you
to journey into new worlds.
I know books have inspired me and changed my life by
changing my mindset they have helped me build a pathway, between my goals and my
life. These books get my personal 5 star rating
