WHY READ?
- Leaders are readers.
- Reading is to your mind what exercise is to your body: one of the best exercises to keep mentally fit is read.
- High performers and CEOs love to read books that take decades of experience to write—you can download decades into days.
- Subvocalization means your reading speed is limited to your talking speed, not your thinking speed.
HOW TO GET MORE READING DONE
- Allocate 15 minutes a day to read.
- We all have the same amount of time, but it’s about how we allocate that time, it’s about priority management.
- Schedule your reading in your diary: we schedule important appointments but rarely do so for personal development.
- One of the ways you show love to yourself is through self-care—do the things for yourself you would want your loved ones to do.
- Reading keeps you mentally alert, gives you great focus, empathy and emotional intelligence.
- Pick a book you can commit to reading until you finish it.
- Some of you likely have a book sitting on your shelf turning into shelf-help rather than self-help.
- At a meta-level, you’re becoming a master of creating your own habits.
- Train your brain through reading and you’ll train and build your life.
