Lasu, tātad esmu by Miha Kovāčs LV

Šī grāmata ar desmit vienkārši izklāstītiem piemēriem pierāda, ka grāmatu lasīšanai ir milzīga pozitīva ietekme. Lasot mēs paplašinām savu vārdu krājumu, uzlabojam spēju domāt daudzšķautņaini, attīstām un padziļinām empātiju – tas viss mums ļauj ne tikai domāt pašiem ar savu galvu, bet arī būt veiksmīgākiem un laimīgākiem.
