The inspirational Dr Danny Brassell joins the show today to share the reason why he dedicates his life to inspiring people around the world to achieve greater happiness in their lives as well as sharing his passion for reading. Together, they discuss how we can bring joy back into education, why it is important to look at things from other peoples’ perspectives and why you don’t have competition, only potential collaborators.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It doesn't matter what you read, what matters is how much you read. It doesn't matter if you are reading James Joyce or James And The Giant Peach, people who read more will be able to read better. We will get more success with children of all ages if we base reading on their interests.
• Think of a book like a piece of food, if you take a bite and don’t like it then you put it down, if you don’t like the first chapter in a book you are probably not going to like the second chapter. There were over 4 million books written last year in English, don’t waste your time on a book you’re not interested in.
• Every person in the world has different points of view. We always look at things from our perspective. We can learn so much from other people if we just put our egos aside.
• You have to guard yourself, you're the same today as you'll be in five years except for two things, the people you meet and the books you read. Make sure you make wise choices by surrounding yourself with people that lift you and make sure you fill your mind with things that also build you up.
• You have no competition, only potential collaborators. You can talk about the same thing as somebody else but in a different way. Just because you’ve heard one song does not mean you should only listen to that one song. Everybody has their take on things.
