The lifestyle of a modern person is like a race since you must come to work on time, spend a couple of hours to get home, eat, take a shower, and go to bed.. We have to spend free time on cleaning, cooking, shopping. As a result, everyday routine and lack of time do not give you a chance to be engaged in self-development. You understand perfectly well that today you must constantly study and be able to find a common language with people, understand their motives and behavior. If you don’t have time for reading, use an audio version of the books while standing in a traffic jam or doing the cleaning.
