In this video, I want to share the power of reading super fast and how it’s changed my life.
Just a heads up. You might want to watch this video a few times. It’s that important.
I want to focus on the benefit of reading a lot and reading super fast.
I think it’s underrated and is one of the most powerful skills you can have.
But you need the motivation first.
One of the key skills is to be able to identify the main argument or thesis in a book and then connect all other support to that core.
Super-fast reading is like a superpower allowing you to consume much more information and potentially find more insight and wisdom.
Another skill is to discern the quality of what you’re reading.
Most books ramble with complexity, shallow thinking and intellectualism.
However the exceptional thinking can communicate clearly, simply, yet with profound and wide application.
Many people underestimate the complexity of business and investing.
Warren Buffett shares a story of how he was a prolific reader as a youth and devoured all the business and investing books he could. This allowed him to have a foundation for investing and business that I think he built his entire career on.
But reading a wide range of books can help understand that complexity and give you an advantage as an investor.
Super-fast reading also can have amazing impacts on all areas of one’s life.
The compound effect of learning is profound as it helps you learn faster and deeper.
