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?
