Reading isn’t a to-do list item
The power of deep reading
Each one of our precious brains processes 34gb of information a day.
That’s 100,000 words a day.
And that’s only in our leisure time.
More Information. Quicker. Faster.
Everything is whizzing by at such a speed that to simply stop and pay attention to something is hard. Even to the act of reading.
Tim Ferris has even developed a comprehensive technique to make us read ‘300 x faster’.
But do we really care enough about reading?
Nearly a quarter of American adults say they haven’t read a book of any kind in the past year. And on average, most adults read 17 books per year.
But how many of us actually appreciate the true value that reading brings?
For many successful entrepreneurs, reading has mostly been seen as a way to increase personal progress, productivity and business growth.
When I first started JotForm back in 2006, I was approaching reading like I approached any other task. I’d make lists of books that were recommended to me or topped the bestsellers in the business section, and I’d try to read as much as I can.
