You can go anywhere in the world by reading. You can feel, see, hear anything at all just by reading. Reading is the best way to relax and to acquire information because it exercises the brain and builds your brain's muscles, consequently giving you a better brain.

I must cover a book/reading topic on my channel soon. It's quite an important topic I see.

My last book I read was the diary of Anne Frank. I love when I get in lost in a book and experience all the emotions, feels like traveling

[unleashingpotential-psycho]

I love reading. I think most people need to increase their reading time since this would open their ideas about the world and become better rounded people.

You got me into self improvement, development, and self growth books

[Jeremy.Glasgow]

Great stuff, Theodore! I've learned so much through reading and I've seen many of the benefits that you explain. What I love about reading is that it is like stepping into the mind of the author. They are able to give as much value as they see fit and you have access to it all.

I haven't read many fiction books, but one of my favorites is The Alchemist. There's so much great information in it regarding success and the journey that we go throughout life. I mostly read non-fiction books like yourself because of how much value is jam-packed into them.

Thanks for the video, Theodore!

Would anyone be interested if I made a video summarizing the Intelligent Investor?

I can maybe do one investing book summary per month, so let me know if there are others you want.

Funny thing about tip #4, I actually feel like I'm better at conversations about deep/serious topics than I am with small talk

I love to read, to enjoy the movie playing in my head while doing so..

[kylanwalker]

I've recently picked up the habit of simultaneously working through a fiction book and a non-fiction at the same time. Alternating every few chapters/sections back and forth with a short break in between. It is definitely one of the better habits I've picked up.

[psyched]

This is great, a lot of psychologists have found that there is a huge overlap between the influence that reading fiction and playing video games or watching movies or theater can have. They all can induce flow and have an impact on your beliefs and help imagine through a variety of social situations. Puzzle games on the computer can even increase your IQ. I'm definitely pro-books, but I think we should all keep it in perspective and take in a variety of media in an appropriate balance.

Fiction is like the normal food ... And Non-fiction is like healthy diet food Books from school are the Junk Food.

[TheStrategicKeys]

I completely agree. I started my channel doing book summaries and reviews to encourage people to read. I purposely don’t give it all away in my summaries. I want people to read, then come back for my review to hear my opinions and to give me theirs.
