Exactly! I read now systematically during my train commute (25 min forth and back = 50 min a day, times 5 days, that's 4 hours a week I read now instead of scrolling on a black screen. And then often times I continue reading some more at home. And what you get is compound interest!

[@nonuora]

I read every word, too. Skimming is not reading. It’s skimming.

[@shreiya]

Tbh it really depends - with fiction books depending on how detailed it is I can skim but non fiction is definitely one where I can’t skim bc I have to read the pages two or three times actually. Detailed fiction is a no for skimming too but tbh if the book isn’t that detailed and complex then I can skim read (I don’t do it very often) Skimming is obviously still reading but if you’re skimming a detailed book and not taking anything in then the reading sessions is not very effective

[@shreiya]

@BabyUnicornio but you're still technically reading the words when skimming - I'd say when I skim read I still read about 75% of the words on the page I just miss out words in between - you've still technically read a book even if you skimmed it if you understand the book/know the plot (most of it anyway). The literal definition is 'look at and comprehend the meaning of written or printed matter' and if you skim read a page and understand most of what is being said without needing to read it word for word, I'd still count the book, as a whole, as being read.

[@mertb.6487]

Usually I tend to skim through "modern" books I solely read for my own satisfaction or because of a recommendation. However, when it comes to classics or authors where I notice a peculiar / masterful writing style, I tend to read each word, sometimes even repeating certain pages to fully comprehend every sentence and most stylistic devices (for me, as a non-native speaker, Brave New World is a great example of such a novel). It‘s like the difference between truly watching certain wonderful shows or movies vs binging through each season of some mediocre ones.

[@allyssa1523]

for me, i skimmed through fiction books when the author is describing something or use long phrases to describe an action. For example, the author would write “He turned the doorknob. As he applied pressure on the door where it’s wood came from the finest wood cutter from Southeast Asia. The door opened” where its literally him opening the door. So yeah if the author is using long phrases to describe an action I’ll just skimmed through.

[@krittikapaul355]

I completed agree @nonuora. reading a book isn't just about gaining knowledge, it's about the experience. it's slow at times but it makes it worth it when you absorb each word instead of rushing to get to the finish line.

[@Pisauce]

Can you give us some insight in what events happened to you that made it the best decision for you?

[@6garnett]

Pisauce Sure! I had just finished 3 years of flight training to become a commercial pilot only to run into Covid. I lost both my jobs at the airport and couldn’t find a flying job either so I was extremely bummed out. I actually started mowing lawns around my neighbourhood and it took off. I realized I could pay back debt quickly doing it and also realized I could listen to books while mowing to maximize my time. I’ve paid back all my debt, built an emergency fund, and I’m starting to invest all because of the new knowledge I have from listening. “Atomic Habits” by James Clear was amazing. Hopefully aviation will rebound next year and I’ll be able to find a flying job! (I live in BC Canada)

[@zarinaemerson1829]

Agree with all your points. One that I would add is that if you’ve never been an avid reader the best way to start reading consistently is to find books on topics you’re actually interested in. Don’t read a book just because it’s a best seller, or because someone told you to read it and “it’s going to change your life.” It’s much easier to do that when you’ve built up a routine or don’t have the preconceived notion that books are a waste of your time. Also, just a reminder, you can read a lot of self-help books but if you don’t implement some of the things you’ve learnt then there won’t be any change in your life. Read a couple of chapters, try something you've learnt and then read some more. It's a lot easier when the ideas are fresh and you have motivation.

Mr.O Brien. After being treated for T.B.I due to injuries i sustained in iraq, my vocabulary with words, memory and speech have been impaired. So i decided to read as much as i can. However I do not know where my interests are for books. I feel like im am indecisive. With the book i do purchase, I find myself not connecting with the words that I read. Like if i am not focusing or I am being distracted . ( As if someone just rambles with words, i ramble with reading) as hard as i try to concentrate i find myself reading every single page at least 2-3 times before turning the page , to really grasp or take in or understand what i am reading. Not the pronounce of words but re read to understand what is taking place during that narration. Re reading 2-3 times every page has become unmotivating and exhausting. Books tend to drag out longer than they should.. have tried audible books and it has been easier to picture what is happening during the narration. I take notes as well. However i feel like a cheat. That I am not becoming more knowledgeable as someone should when they physically read . Do you recommend to keep reading physical or can one gain what you have gain with audiblebooks?

I did that where both my cousin and I were reading through a book together and it helped us both grow talking more about it outside of our other reading.

When speaking of consequence, I think there is another factor that prevents grow-ups reading/studying more is that when we are young, we have to face the consequences that come out our control, the lower grades, parents' yelling, etc. But now, most of the time, the only judge of what consequences may come is ourselves. People always mention that give yourself a reward or punishment if some goals are achieved or not. However, if I cannot control myself to do the small habits build-up, how can I have the power to punish myself from not having fun or the rewards.

You're well spoken, thought through, and seem to strive forward to better yourself. However the gold is in when you want others to prosper too - thank you for sharing.

Hey Nate, I appreciate the effort of the video, but this is more of a 'How to Read a Book a Week' video than it is a 'Here's What Happened' video. That's just my opinion.

Click bait

[@joanneyoung1081]

I loved reading books when I was in grammar school. I will try to get back to reading a lot more. Thank you.

Great. English is my 4th language. İn öder to improve my English, i statreted to reading books from the beginning of this year. Already finished 3 books and still keep reading. English books gave me a totalay new world. İ wish I can keep reading until the end of this year. Happy Reading

[@caiobatista6964]

Something that we learn when reading is to interpret sentences and messages very well. From what i noticed, you just talked a lot about what you think we need to do, what you did and how you did it, but absolutely nothing about what actually happened, whatever i was expecting to have actually happenned to you after that. Plus, to my surprise, you didn't even actualy read them. Stop this clickbaiting bs.

[@juliano5662]

Here's what happened: You read 52 books in a year.

Thank you! Can’t believe he let the whole video drag on and didn’t address the title 🙄

[@kyawhein27]

Reading books is a common habit among the most successful people in the world. It is amazing to learn from authors’ life experiences and mistakes through reading a book!

[@RomelBuildingWealth]

I love reading but recently I started listening to audiobooks. It helps me intake content a lot quicker. Great video.

[@ThinkMoneyBenny]

With so many distractions, it’s hard to read books. I’d like to read more books about investing and passive income instead of only watching videos about it. 💰

[@hornsfirst]

Love you Nate!! Thank you for being a good guy. ❤️

[@johneric3886]

Good video, good communications skills. I like how you talked about leaving your phone at home and going to the park to read!!!

[@judytaquino6412]

Do it before you have children. I am a voracious reader and love audiobooks. Love it, love it.

[@alissah5595]

I think one of the reasons that we tend to stop reading after our younger years is because school uses the reading = reward system. For example if you read a book you could do the essay or if you read the book you could get a good grade on the test. So when that has been put in our minds we start the think that we should have a purpose for reading and if there isn’t we don’t read.

I agree with doesn't skip parts of a book. Great video. Greetings from Colombia

[@nateyingling3951]

As I have gotten older I have really learned how detrimental the modern high school English curriculum is to the pure enjoyment of reading.

I just found the website pdf drive and there are HEAPS of cool books on there. I've started walking around and reading with my ipad at home from one side of my apartment to the next. It's so addictive.

[@podcastdoingles]

Some of the "distractions" are essential for me, namely, the cellphone and the laptop as for when a place or event is mentioned in the book I have never heard of it, thus, I have to search the net to understand the setting and get the gist from the context of the story. :)

[@GaiaCarney]

I can’t retain audiobooks! I need to physically read the words 📖 I was anti-Kindle, but learned to love the ‘bookmarks’, ‘highlights’ & larger print! 🤓

[@celinyarguilera]

I LIKE READY THE BOOKS AND E-BOOK, In the last 3 years, have lived as reader has been improving.
