Fall In Love With Books

Reading changed my life!

I used to avoid reading as much as possible growing up. However, I trained myself to love reading as I grew older and realized the power of books.

Reading is a superpower because you can teach yourself how to do anything. When Elon Musk is asked about how he learned to build electric cars and rockets to go to Mars he says he reads books.

“I was raised by books. Books, and then my parents.” – Elon Musk

If you don’t know what to read that means you aren’t reading books. Virtually every book you read will have references and recommendations of other books to read. Start out by reading what you love.

(How to fall back in love with reading)

“Read what you love until you love to read. Everybody I know who reads a lot loves to read, and they love to read because they read books that they loved. It’s a little bit of a catch-22, but you basically want to start off just reading wherever you are and then keep building up from there until reading becomes a habit. And then eventually, you will just get bored of the simple stuff.” – Naval Ravikant

When I read biographies the most common thing among the people I read about is that they all read books voraciously. Winston Churchill, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln all loved to read books.

Make it a habit to read for 30 minutes per day. If you can’t do that start with one page per day.

Don’t have time?

Rather than scrolling through social media open up your Kindle app and read for 2 minutes.
