Smart reading

0:00 Aval has said a lot about this topic already. I would actually consider switching to audiobooks, even triple speed if possible, and that way you can consume more. But more importantly, I think you should be really selective about what you're reading. And if it's not a good book, just skip it. It's not a performative art in a sense that you need to get through all the books. There's too many books in the world for you to read them all, and they're not worth your time. It's just better to use your time more selective. If it's a non-fiction book, so you're actually for the facts information, a lot of the books don't have that much of information in themselves. You just skim through them and you get the points.

0:48 Even better if you go to the author's Twitter or some other blog post or articles, and you can get the same information, even in a richer form, usually more quicker, faster, without even going to the books. Obviously it doesn't apply to the old books, but I think book is one format of getting the information, but I wouldn't just stick to the format. I would just consider what you're after.
