    Appreciate it, Andrew.
    There's one thing Ive also learned from an Irish entrepreneur Gary Fox who shared his approach of reading:
    1. In the morning - 30 min of non-fiction, business related books;
    2. In the evening - fiction or novels (to shut down a buzzing brain)

      IMO all the people who read a book in a week, they just read for the sake of putting this in their insta bio or something like "Read over 100 books this year. Greatness is coming" (trust me I've seen people do this 🤣)
      Right now I'm reading how to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie . I read each chapter twice. One is a quick read where I don't think or take notes on what I read and then the second read will be on the next day and I can easily grasp everything I read. SIDENOTE - It takes a bit of mental strain to have the discipline to go over the same chapter again.I also mark points and take notes on my phone. I actually KNOW this method will help people out. You can read 1000 books a year and still end up with less than 10 life lessons from all of it. You know why?

    I said to myself that I would learn to code something everyday, it doesnt matter how long will it take, at 8pm, and it's been 1 month since i started, and the weird thing is that i planned all of this in my mind, i don't have anything related to this in paper, but it's still working cause i have a commitment, a place and an hour to do the habit, and the environment also helps.

    I have at least 25 books I want to read. I have gotten them from Alibris, the shipping is quite often more expensive than the book itself! He is right! When I was in college I found friends who fought for better grades, the rule was reading 100 pages a night (rarely met, but there was a habit to get to the University every night). Now I need to eliminate CZcams from my life. The rewards I got from reading were wonderful! Listen to this man!

    Hello and realy good video Andrew. What i found realy helpfull to get the reading routine going for me was the miracle morning and the example in that book that if you read simply 10 pages a day it amounts to 3650 pages a year which amounts to a total of 12-15 books a year without breaking even a sweat. Cause every one can find the time and willpower to read 10 pages. Anyway i hope this example was helpfull. Thank you again Andrew . Keep up the good work . Your helping a lot of people.

    Another useful tip while reading I use is I find that when I read, if I use a highlighter to highlight the main points of a paragraph, a definition, or an explanation, it helps me retain and hone in on what the text is trying to translate to the reader. It makes me feel like I’m receiving the benefits while absorbing the key information. Kind of like a study guide that I won’t be tested on, but I can now go back and reference the highlighted text for the main point or sum of the paragraph.

    Hi Andrew Kirby, I got recommended by CZcams to watch your Stoicism video and have been subscribed ever since. Hilariously, each time a video of yours pops up, I had previously been in a thought that desired such a video. Such as, "I need to start reading more" and this popped up, ha. Confirmation bias?
    Any-who, I was wondering if you have a reading list you'd be willing to share with the public?
    Thank you & have a nice day,

    I usually just read 10 pages every night before I allow myself to sleep, it's nice because I have a dedicated time and place to read and I know exactly when I'm going to finish a book by dividing the pages by 10. If the book is 256 pages, it'll take me 26 days to read.
