There are moments in life, where we might think that we have enough with our own experiences and problems. In those cases, another biography? No, thanks. Personally, I love reading biographies written by persons, who lived interesting moments and may show us how to live a better life, how to resolve problems or explain a special part of human history.
Do you include biographies in your usual lecture?

It really depends on the subject of the biography. I think that a lot of younger people who have so far done very little in life end up with published biographies or autobiographies long before they have anything interesting to say - in such cases I think the publishers just do it to cash in on their current popularity.

I'm reading two historical novel type of books. They are written from the subject's perceived point of view. I love this kind of reading, and straight biographies or autobiographies as well.

I'm not a public speaker so I don't give lectures and therefore I never include biographies in lectures. I have, however, read a lot of biographies and autobiographies. I've enjoyed them ever since I was a kid. I like to read about how people navigate their life path and how they deal with the vicissitudes of life. A big, fat autobiography or biography book can be very enjoyable. It's nice to walk in someone's shoes for a little bit.

Sometimes I like to read biographies if I am interested in the person.
