A new habit is formed

• Why? – because I believe that it’s one of the most efficient ways to gain knowledge and improve yourself. In just a few hours you can extract years of work and experiences of others, distilled over months into their bare minimum essence.
• What kinds of books? Well, literally anything that sounds interesting and that, in my opinion, will be worth my time.

How do I read books: I tend to read multiple books at once.. Not in a literal sense, but more like multiple books in the same time period but each at different days / places or times of the day. This is a technique I learned from Juvoni Beckford through his appearance in one my favorite podcasts “The Great Man Within“. For example, I read spirituality-related books only in the morning right after I get up or in the evening right before I go to sleep. I read more technical books usually on the computer while sitting in my office and I listen to audiobooks only during exercise, walks, runs or while commuting and I usually tend to listen to books narrated by the authors themselves. I do this for a few reasons. Reading a particular piece at a certain place and/or time enhances the neural associations in the brain so as it helps to remember what you read better. In addition, I use the timing of book reading / listening to help with current activities. i.e. Spirituality books help with calmness and mindset, thus they can help you fall asleep or start your day in a good state of mind. Motivational books can be great companions during exercise, while personal development books are great during walks. Whatever works for you!
