Do You Want to Be a Better Version of You? Reread Books
We underrate repetition as a way of self-improvement
Are you among those who feel overwhelmed when they start reading a book by the thought of how many others you'll never read?
Despite everything, you read the book you have chosen and also enjoy it, but latent and never extinguished remains that inner voice that gnaws and sings, 'You will never be able to read everything you would like.'
Is this you? You aren't alone. Let me tell my story and lessons learned.
Repetition isn't a repetition.
I'm a lucky man. I have two newborn children who teach me a lot daily. Among all, an impressive lesson regards repetitions. My two-year-old son can do the same action twenty times and dedicate the same serious focus each time.
This observation has made me think about and compare my children's way of learning to my adult way of learning. Since books are one of the most common learning journeys, my mind built this question for the first time: 'I usually read books once. Does it make sense?' The answer was the expression on my son's face while, for a further time, repeated the same task.
