It makes it interesting, but I’m more of a stats and data type of person.

Trust in your ability to read and lose Yourself in the stories, until they become a part of you and make you better than you were before. The books will grow into your heart soon after.

Your comment around 4:50 about not grasping a feeling if there’s no word for it is fascinating. I’ve just finished reading “The Idiot Brain” and it’s mentioned that if, as a culture, we don’t have a word for something, then it is borderline impossible to really understand it, nevermind explaining it to others. So what your describing is a very real, neurological phenomenon! The extent of our language is inextricably tied to our comprehension.

My struggle with reading is actually letting myself read when I feel like it. The books that I want to read are not necessarily "light" reading and require a lot of time and focus to process. So, when I feel like reading, I think that if I have enough energy to read this book for pleasure, then I must have enough energy to study / do my homework. Then, reading gets relegated to a "leisure activity" that I never end up doing. I think this is a common struggle: the most meaningful things that bring one the most joy get pushed to the sideline in favor of mundane but "necessary" tasks.

I 100% can identify with this. Ive always been a reader with The Hobbit being my “first big” book as a child. It changed me in every way. It’s as if I had an unquenchable thirst for stories ever since. I think C.S Lewis especially captured me with The Great Divorce. I’m not religious, but his writing and philosophy in that book stays with me. I honestly can’t get through it without sobbing because I felt like I finally “found a soul” like mine. It’s funny that Lewis wrote “we read to know we are not alone” and it’s his books that make me feel this way.

That was really insightful, thank you. Reading is fascinating, and I usually try to combine Audiobooks with the Actual Books, have them play in the background while I have the book in my hands and pretend someone is reading it to me , as I read the text myself underlining and making notes. I've just recently started that so I can keep in check of what I learned and got out of any books I read. Though with some, you don't even need that, they just stay with you in the subconscious and you can recall instantly how they made you feel or what they made you think about. Its also a great detox from the barrage of visual triggers that surround us all day long. It'd be nice to achieve a zen like meditative state while reading, would do wonders.

I loved this video's analysis of the benefits of reading, Elizabeth. For the point you made around 5:40, I highly recommend that you practice guided body scan meditations as well as guided visualizations. They can deeply enrich self-exploration along with fiction and other literature, but you can internalize the deep inner experience faster and add the new language to describe varied sensations to your mental frameworks of reality that much faster. Different meditation techniques shift our awareness to a multitude of distinct objects of focus, so they allow us to practice different ways of engaging with the world in a more relaxed state, after enough trial and error.

Struggles I have with reading (I would love your take/suggestions): 1. Remembering names of characters 2. How to approach reading. Read a block if time or end of a chapter? 3. How to learn when to leave the book if its a hard slog to get started. How do you get excited to read 4. Choosing what to read based on interest than people's suggestion. Or understanding why people suggest a book and can be meaningful to read. 5. My hardest one, how to read novels. There is no info gained like non fiction Smiles, JoannA

Am currently trying to develop reading habits. I'm at my 40s. How I wish I have started much sooner. I used to struggle to finish reading a single book back then. Only about the age of 34 I think, was the first time I finished reading a book Hunger Games. I proceeded to read non fiction. It was hard. Then slowly just before the pandemic, I forced myself to focus on books. Really enjoyed being with books. Makes me feel like getting all the nutrition my brain needs. Gotta say, don't let reading habit go.. it does make a big difference in your life. It did for me. I've learned a lot and reading made me a better person.

I recently rediscovered my love for books. As a child and teen I adored books. I remember how I loved going to the library and pick some new books. And I would always make sure to bring a whole stack on holiday. Then in my twenties my mental health declined and focussing on books became harder. I also kinda blame the internet (I learned my brain to go for quick short input) but I did read a book now and then. Now I’m in my thirties and I had not read a book in a few years. I couldn’t find the motivation and focus to do so. But now since a few weeks I listen to audiobooks and it is SO MUCH FUN! I love being in this whole other world. And I don’t mean fantasy per se I mean to get out of my head and into a different life. But it also connects to my life and my experiences like you said. I ‘read’ six books already. It regained my love for books and I think I’d pick up a real book sooner now. Like you were talking about in another video on motivating yourself with passion. Nevertheless I think audiobooks ‘count’ as reading a book as well. It’s a great solution when focussing on actual reading is difficult. And I agree on books being great to learn about people and feeling more connected to others in a way.

I've had a very hard time reading with possible brain damage from hard drug use and a brain disease I have. I learned to like reading, to love it even by treating the book as delicately as possible with patience and always starting at the beginning and rereading books of harder content like philosophy and religion,though I've read mostly fiction. I can't day I've read 1,000 books, but estimate I've read about 20,000 hours in 35 years. I find it very soothing. I get to be intimate with the author and it helps with loneliness.

It's also interesting when you talk to someone who hated a book you loved, or vice versa and get out of your echo chamber! Sometimes when I read a book I just google 'events' the author might be in or find a book club on Twitter or IG because it's literally an obsession at this point!

When it comes to reading I never seem to have enough time available anymore, or, when I do, there is less of an inclination to read now than when I was younger. I think university has negatively affected this attitude shift because I now associate reading with stress and work instead of satisfying a fun curiosity. And the increasing responsibilities, life expectations, and never ending to-do's that come along with age create the need to simply withdraw from further mental stimulation by using mind-numbing devices If you do make a follow up video, please include how/when you allocate the time for pleasure reading? Especially considering you're a busy medical student!

I've always been an avid reader and even in third grade I was reading medical books and so my brain grew very rapid because I was exposed to many larger words and would always have a dictionary by my side and I still do to this day. When I read a dictionary is also there. Thanks for sharing this!

Man apart from falling in love with that beautiful face, I keep falling in love with the amazing content in most of the videos. I can relate so much to the point of making friends through books. I also relate to and enjoy interacting with people through podcasts and interviews. You get to experience people through media which is amazing.

I loved your take on books. I worked for a wine critic's family in Paris for a few months, and the critic taught me how a "reading" of wine might amplify the sensual pleasure of the wine. Indeed this is true of everything we sense and consume. If everything we sense and experience was reduced to basic reception then our world would be very grey.

keeping consistency in reading is what everyone struggles with I guess like I'm reading it every day, and for some reason, some pause comes, and boom my brain says, you have to start reading from first or I just end up forgetting and having my brain tell me you have 77 half-read books out of 100 lol

How I learned to keep up with my reading habit and read consistently: I decided I would read 5 pages a day no matter what. If I end up reading more, I consider that a bonus. The point is, I can't find an excuse not to carve out at least 10 min for those 5 pages every day. Works like a charm! Hope this helps someone. :)

Loved this video :) Finding strong reasons always helps with a habit and this is an awesome personal list of those. About your prompt on the struggles on reading, here's one I am recently facing: Being someone with many interests like reading books both non-fiction & fiction, reading news, learning new things online (outside and inside my domain of learning & work) (& also doing better every day at the full-time job), I am considering crafting a weekly routine of how to distribute the time spent on all these activities because it is practically impossible to spend some time on each of these every day. How would you go about this? Asking this as you mentioned you are also generally interested in a lot of different things in life.

It's not just a mental progress by reading or gaining a vaste knowledge or culture, it is firstly a progress of the SPIRIT!

You Asked for our struggles with reading; here it goes. For me I am very busy with my studies and my own personal research. I don't like to be tired so I go to bed early. I feel like I just do not have time to read as much as I would like. I am working on becoming a faster reader, there is that, and it hopefully will help.

Your video resonates with my life so much. When I read fiction, I imagine myself re-living the moment when I first read the same books. Then, for the non-fiction genre, I make it seem that the author's opinion is a serious conversation with myself. 😊 thanks.
