Dear Friend,

C.S. Lewis once said, "If the ordinary reader must read only the new or only the old, I would advise him to read the old."

Why did he say this? It's simple. Old books offer new perspectives that you do not get from the modern "pop-business" books.

I'm serious. If you've entered any bookstore lately, you'll encounter modern-day crap about "the subtle art of not giving a f*ck." Or, if not that, then books filled with trite interpretations of "ancient stoic wisdom."

This Stuff is Crap and We're INUNDATED With It!

This is why I'm so excited to tell you about a book that I believe——with all my heart——will change the course of your life.

It's written by Mel Jeffcoat, and it's called...

Turn The Page: How to Transform Your Mind by Reading Old Books

This book is going to reshape your entire year. It's going to make reading fun and magical for you again!

Mel's book is built on the premise that...

You Should Read Books Older Than You

You probably have experienced the feeling——the feeling of reading an old book and uncovering an ancient gem of wisdom. In doing so, it occurs to you how applicable it still is to modern-day life. From this, you also gain an appreciation for how those born before you encountered the same exact trials and tribulations you yourself struggle with.

If you've ever had such an experience, you know how it leaves a deep, lifelong imprint on your life. Such a thing is otherwise impossible to glean from a surface-level regurgitation of someone's biography (i.e., Cal Newport's latest "productivity" manifesto).

The point is——there's a power in reading old books that you do not get from reading popular non-fiction.

The latest research backs this as well.

By reading old books...

1. Your memory will improve. Engaging in mentally stimulating activities such as reading has been associated with a slower rate of memory deterioration.[1] The problem with modern-day books is that they're frequently just "infotainment." The struggle is stripped away. This is not true of old books. The added mental stimulation that comes by way of reading old books serves to sharpen your memory faculties.

2. Your vocabulary will improve. Reading old books results in a higher probability of encountering words that you're unfamiliar with. Research has shown that reading greatly expands one's vocabulary.[2] This benefit is put into hyperdrive when you read old books.

3. You will sharpen your thinking. Research has shown that reading increases connectivity in the brain.[3] The problem with modern-day books is that many of them are "dumbed down." There's not much thinking that happens. However, when you engage with old books, you're forced to think in ways that shed itself of the mental junk food we've become inundated with.

There are other benefits of reading old books——such as developing an almost "otherworldly" perspective on things.

Guess how all of this comes about?

By Reading Old Books!

You probably recognize the power of reading old books. However, Mel's book covers much more than this...

That's right——Mel's book goes much deeper than the idea that "you should read old books." In Turn The Page, you will learn...

How to Get The Most Out of Reading Old Books
