 What's happening guys in today's video? I'm gonna be giving you my personal strategy. It's gonna help you read Easily a hundred books per year and you could use the tactics I talk about in this video to read 150 200 300 or whatever the hell you want. However, you want to scale it and I'm also gonna go into Ways that you can better remember the things that you read So better internalize the messages of the books so that you actually have the knowledge as something tangible that you can use in your real life and so just Random names of books that you've read but forgotten because what's the point of reading? You're trying to learn new things so that you can improve your life And if you're reading a hundred books per freaking year, trust me your life is gonna be incredibly different After every year so before I begin I just want to say that everybody can do this This isn't something that's just restricted to a certain particular class of person because I myself used to read something Like one book or two books a year only the books are prescribed to me in high school by my teacher and Over the years I've increased this number. I started reading on my own now I read 20 books one year the next year 40 books And I found better strategies to read more books and be able to do a lot more than what I start off with so everybody can improve Although a hundred might not be your goal You can definitely read a lot more than what you can and the tools we're gonna be talking about here The tools when I use in order to actually Fulfill this challenge is we're gonna utilize physical books, right physical books And we're also going to use audio books and a quick note of your books before I get into all this a lot of people I like all your books is not reading That's probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life because what's the point of reading you're reading to gain knowledge You're not reading so that you set you read the text with your eyes, right? You'll get the whole points to gain knowledge if I could just download the knowledge from a USB and put in my brain I'll do that instead of reading. I'm not doing it for the act. I'm doing it for the end outcome So if you don't want to listen to all your books because it's not reading you're missing out on a lot of knowledge And you're kind of short-changing yourself Anyway, let's get back into it Let's start for the physical books. Okay. Let's say you got a book like this, right book like this and You say you want to read a hundred books pair. Yeah, so that's two books per week. Let's split up Let's go say you're gonna read one physical book. I want all your book This book here is about 250 pages What you want to do is you want to find out how many pages are in the book and then break it down so that you can Read the equal percentage each day of the week until you finish it. So this is 250 pages Let's assume we're just gonna read five days during the week. We're gonna take the weekend off We're gonna read Monday to Friday. So we have to read 50 pages per day in order to finish this particular book And what I always advise for people to do is when you're starting off reading when you're starting out You don't want to sit down and try power through the reading because what's gonna happen is you're gonna get sleepy your brains I used to work and it's not used to focusing So you won't be able to finish you don't have the skill set or the capacity to do it yet And you're gonna now associate resistance and that negative Feeling of trying to push through the book with a reading and it's gonna be terrible for making reading a habit You want to associate good things with reading so you won't have a good time when you read You don't want to make it feel like a chore. So don't try power through it until you're able to actually do it So break it down 50 pages a day. How are you gonna split that you can split it into 25 pages two times a day So maybe you read 25 pages when you wake up in 25 pages Right before bed or you can split into 10 pages five times a day So maybe 10 pages here 10 pages after your lunch break at work 10 pages when you get home 10 pages After gym and whatever right as long as you fulfill your daily quota and Finish the 50 pages or I've made pages you need you will smash through that book Very easily. Now a lot of people talk about speed reading Speed reading is definitely something that could help especially if you are someone who's gonna read bigger books Books are like 600 pages You can learn how to speed read now There's a bunch of online resources that can teach you how to do this So if that's something you're looking to I'll put some links in the description to those resources personally myself I've never had to really learn how to speed read when you are reading in general You kind of learn how to read quicker or more efficiently anyway So it's not necessary about something you could look in and a lot of people also like to do this thing like the whole Tyler pasting of Skipping sense sections of the book so they might read Like the first sentence of the first paragraph skim through their eyes Just kind of skim through real quick in the read some bits that are important I Don't like that method. I feel like that's kind of cheating But it is useful in certain areas some people say that read the books do not just skim in whole pages But I don't really count that it's useful in certain areas. Let's say you've read about eight books on the subconscious mind right and now you're reading the ninth book and A particular chapter that you're reading kind of is going over the same stuff you've read before Then you can skim through and they'll be effective as you'll be able to get to the juicier bits Because what you have to remember is in a lot of these books There's certain ideas or certain concepts are the main idea the main points You have to think of it as kind of like a 80 20 type deal 20% of the books actually going to give you the biggest Bank for your buck 80% of it's gonna be filler because the author needs to sell the book They can't just sell you 50 pages of the distilled essence of the book They have to make it seem like it's worthwhile with your money So they're gonna put a bunch of bull crap in it. So Definitely you can skim through some things but be very careful with that because you might skip that golden nugget So that's how I approach physical books. I'll break it down to pages and Yeah, just hammer through them and I do the same thing with You know my iPad on the iBooks and my phone The e-pop books you could just read throughout the day when you'll have a little bit of extra time Maybe you're waiting for the bus and you're standing there. Just what about your phone and Read maybe you're in the toilet take the shit. You know, you're gonna be on your phone anyway Just read five pages or so what you see is that all adds up And that's how you create the habit of really just reading here and there and eventually you'll be able to Actually enjoy it and be looking forward to it. So that's how you can easily smash through one of those books per week The second thing the second strategy I have for you guys is to use audio books I really really I'm a big proponent of audiobooks. That's gonna cut Out so much time because throughout the week you're gonna be doing a bunch of random mundane activities I always talk about this. You're gonna be mowing the grass. You're gonna be Vacuuming your house putting the clothes up washing dishes random things where you kind of have to do it And usually you'll be doing nothing, but just you know thinking Get the headphones in and listen to all your books. Now. I personally use a Particular so I use audible Which is I think the most complete all your book services got the most all your books there on this platform and as you can see I'm currently reading thinking fast and slow and I've got a bunch of titles on this So if you want to try that out, I'll put a affiliate link down in the bottom It's gonna be a 30 day free trial and you can do what the fuck you want that But you don't have to do that you don't have to buy these all your books There's a bunch of free audiobooks on YouTube and there's also another app I use which is It's called a It's a code It's called some shit It's a music speed changer and it kind of speeds up the audio of certain things I have all the world does this automatically You can change the speed of the audiobooks. So it's so just reading a normal speed you could read it 1.5 two-time speed and Doing that you don't really smash through these books I'm telling you if you're reading two times speed even these 10-hour audiobooks You split that down to five hours and you can just split that one hour each day throughout the week Just doing random shit and you can smash that easily and 10-hour audiobook is relatively big It's about like 400 pages 300 some pages. So That's a big pro tip. I have for people use the speed enhancer features on these apps The audible and the app I'm gonna link it down in the description What I like to do is I like to either use one or two approaches that kind of increase the speed gradually And as I get used to it and increase it again. So one time speed 1.25 1.5 1.752 Or I like to also sometimes go extreme just go straight to three times speed For like the first minute and then bring it down to two times speed so that my brain actually thinks it's slower And two times speed sounds more normal. That's the crazy thing about the speed enhancing Utility is your brain adjust to the new speed because what you have to understand is in the english language It's a bunch of words that I once again just feel like just connecting things Your brain is just kind of picking up the main idea the main gist of certain sentences and you're still able to make out What other people are saying. So that's the same thing with these Audio books when you speed it up, you can still understand what's going on Okay, let's talk about the second part of this video. How can you better understand what you are reading? You're reading your physical books You're smashing through your audiobooks and you're getting through two books per week On your way to get a hundred books per year. So how can you better understand this? Are you not rushing it? How can you understand the concepts? Well, what I advise is when you're reading these books make a note or try to make a habit to kind of Take notes on important things or things that you think are important So have your notepad on your phone and take notes on certain elements of the book or certain ideas that you like And have the title of the book right at the top So I like to do it on one note on my ipad Whenever I'm reading something I just take notes on certain bits and just keep it all into like this nice document Where I have a bunch of book titles And I also like going to review sites like goodreads and reading what other people have to say about the book Because they also have their own input their own summaries their own opinions I like watching book summaries after the book after I read the book I like going on youtube and checking out the book summary, which is usually like 10 minute five minutes Distilled concise something about what the book is about And I also like talking about the book to friends and kind of explaining what I thought was interesting When you do these things you're now taking gone from a passive role to an active role in your learning And you're kind of cementing the things that you learned from the book in your mind And it's going to be much easier to stick a lot of people just read books and just forget about them Make a mental note to try to get the jewels out of it and distill them and keep your own personal documents Which you can recommend you which you can repair back to When you need to and that's definitely going to help. So those are my tips guys take it. I'll leave it I've been using this for the past zero two and it's definitely made a huge difference So reading books are so easy. Sometimes I go three books four books a week Two is manageable two anyone can do and you can easily smash through 100 books and change your life For the better drastically with all that new knowledge and I'll be seeing you guys next time. Peace
