How To Be a Better Reader and Person
According to author Ryan Holiday, reading is a good thing. But not all reading is created equal.
If you want to be a great reader, you need to know how to read.
Here are 10 strategies Ryan recommends:
- Stop reading books you aren’t enjoying.
- Keep a commonplace book to collect quotes, ideas, stories and facts.
- Re-read the masters.
- Read fiction.
- Read before bed.
- Ask people you admire for book recommendations.
- Look for wisdom, not facts.
- Don’t only learn from your own experience. Learn by the experiences of others.
- Study the past to understand the present.
- Aim for quality, not quantity.
Actually, Ryan recommends 13 strategies in his blog.
But he says we only need to apply a couple of them, to become a better reader and a better person.
Are you already implementing any of these strategies?
