Sheesh! I thought I read a lot, and I can only get through 2-3 each month. I don't intentionally draw parallels, but my subconcious seems to apply what I'm reading to any challenge I'm facing (even if the topics are light years apart). Joining a book club is a fantastic way to stretch yourself and read topics you normally wouldn't pick up. Right now our book club is reading Ken Folliet's "The Pillars of the Earth" and while the central theme is cathedral building, my mind is on fairness, human character, and what makes great writing GREAT.

Last night I read "The Back of the Napkin" by Dan Roam (in one sitting), and it definitely helped by giving me a different perspective of bringing creativity into every aspect of business(or everyday problems, for that matter). This book wasn't off-topic, but I can see how it directly relates with your approach. Taking a different approach to something "routine" always seems to spark something in me. Excellent!

I read for my benefit, not stopping to argue with any point that doesn't perfectly fit my philosophy, but looking for points that I can usefully apply. It means I can read some pretty crazy things, looking for that one gem that I need. I call this my ‘shopping bag style’.

Wish I could pump through 5 books per week. As to POV reading, perhaps you are describing synthesis which is the mother of all invention. You grab a book on whatever topic and attempt to marry it's thesis with your pre-ordained topic. "Get the habit of analysis- analysis will in time enable synthesis to become your habit of mind.” Frank Lloyd Wright. I think you have developed the habit of synthesis. Well done.

A very sharp business woman told me a few years ago that she got some of her best ideas by going to a museum looking at art while thinking about one thing that she wanted to improve with her company or herself. I've tried it and it works! While you are considering what the artist wanted to convey your mind seems to open to new possibilities. Great idea!

At conferences he would force people to read magazines outside of their interest areas so that they opened their minds to other sources and concepts. This is similar although instead of being open-minded about everything you are looking for new perspectives to your current issues.
