I Read A Book A Week (Here's What Happened)

I have been reading a book per week for the better half of the last few years.
In this video, I want to share not only the benefits that I have received from reading hundreds of books but also the strategy which I developed to retain more information, to increase my human capital, which I believe has had an immeasurable impact on my life.

A few of my favorite books:
- The E-Myth Revisited
- The Hard Thing About Hard Things
- Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion
- The Power of Habit
- Mans Search for Meaning

I used to watch Netflix as reward at the end of a productive day. But now, I use reading before going to bed, 30-60 mins. It helps me to fall sleep, and follow the 'No screen time' one hour before sleeping.

I'm pretty sure the secret to being smart is to read. A lot of people think smart people are just born that way but I think it has to do with reading as a kid.

Reading has really changed my life
I I’ve challenged myself to read 60 books in 1 year and all I can say is that the challenge was mind blowing, not only have I grown has as a person but the way I process life has totally changed. I can proudly say that I’m an Avid reader because I have made it my Arsenal routine to read 1 book ever my week

Reading rewires your mind. It literally makes your brain grow. After I read a book, I'm not the same person as before reading it. I feel renewed. Also, it allows me to be alone with my thoughts.

I don't understand why most people perceive reading as boring.
I personally have read a book a week for the past 3 years and it has changed my life and made me a more creative person.

2019 - Read a book or so a week. ~55 books read.
2020 - I'm at 55 books today with 4 more months.

It's the best thing you can do for personal development in my opinion.

[kelseylohman]

I always feel so much more motivated and creative when I read books. I used to read a ton of fiction as a kid like you mention, but now the educational books are where it's at. Really opens my mind to a whole new perspective and such a productive way to spend your time. I'm down for a book club!

I started Audible a few months ago and since then I’ve listened to at least a book a week WHILE WORKING, on topics like finance and personal growth and it’s been the best decision I ever made!

Buying and reading a book is *one of the best investments* you can make to yourself.

Reading books was definitly the point what changed my life

[stillnotamillionaire]

More important than reading a book per week or per month is to really take time to think about it, and put it into practice!

Books are my comfort. Sci-fi, drama, history and self improvement. I love books 😍💞
