 What's up guys your local realized man check in the end once again, and today I'm going to do a Kind of an extensive walkthrough or guide of reading of how I approach reading and this video is inspired by my boy Philip We did a similar video But I'm gonna do my take on it and give you guys some jewels and some ideas on how you can read them on get the Most how you read so first things first. What what should you read? personally, um, I Don't read a lot of fiction, right? Now there's nothing wrong with fiction fiction can enhance your creativity. You can you know Make you think about some ideas you perhaps wouldn't think of normally it definitely has its place but the way I see fiction in regards to me is that it's more of a Entertainment type medium and if I need entertainment a better fix for me That's less time-consuming is just to watch TV shows. So I used to read the Game of Thrones books and of course the fiction books themselves have a lot more death than the TV series, but in terms of Time investment and benefit. I'd rather just watch a TV show watch the movie So I read to get tools. I read to get utilities. They're gonna help me in my life, right? I read because I want to get from point A to B and The sudden Knowledge I don't know and a reading is a way to get that. That's all that's the only reason I read so that's why I focus primarily on nonfiction and When I start out reading when I start getting into the habit of I used to read a book a week or sometimes two books every week just to kind of get into the flow of it and That took about three weeks to get into but once you're in the flow It's a lot easier than what you think what you expect because I used to be a type of person I used to read maybe one book every year that was prescribed to us at university or in high school but so You have to put that initial energy To overcome the inertia at the beginning but once you get the ball going you're gonna get that knowledge These days I don't read as much but I still get it in given Using some of these tools. I'm gonna give you guys Okay, so what type of books I read or what type of medium well there's basically Real books like this hard books. There's audio books and there's E-pubs, so I'm gonna get into the positives and benefits of each one Real books like this the reason I have these to be honest with you is because they just look nice There's something about having a physical book In your hand that makes the experience just a whole lot better Especially when you have a coffee there and you're just sitting down you can see the book and and plus they look cool as fuck like Who doesn't want their own library, right? The physical books are great. I love physical books because yeah Sometimes I actually just buy A book I've already read on E-Pub I buy the physical version just because I like to look at the book sometimes. I know it's ridiculous But it's something I do So physical books they have their benefits The disadvantage is you can't read a night time with these unless you have a lamp or some sort of those book light reader things so But the good thing is you can give it to a friend you can give it to a friend and it's good. It's a good gift Something that's you know tangible touch Okay, E-pub Ah These are great. See I use iBooks on my iPad and Kindle as well Yeah So the good the benefit of this is you can get a shit ton of books just on one device like I got a few Like a hundred books I've gone through just on the E-pub and you can adjust the brightness You can read night time change the layout you can bookmark things. It's excellent But once again, you don't get the same feel as actually having the physical book or at least I don't In the third type of book that I like is audiobooks. Now, these are great Because they allow you to do to get your reading in while you're doing other things The problem with audiobooks is sometimes certain books require you to look at diagrams and audiobooks Obviously don't have diagrams because you'll listen it so There's benefits to all of them The best approach is to use every single method if you really want to get the most out you're reading now Initially when I started reading I used to read all sorts of things biographies philosophy and stuff like that But what I advise is as you get more used to your reading you should learn to Focus down on certain areas and immerse yourself in them, especially when you're trying to get better That's something so perhaps if you're trying to learn body language you should Buy five different books on body language and just read those if you're trying to learn online marketing You should buy some books on SEO or some books on Copywriting and stuff like that and just read those if you try to learn about strength training You should buy the top five strength training books and just read those what the does is it immerses you with the knowledge and you get different perspectives from different authors and You can really start pulling the pieces together now right now I'm in the process of creating an online course right on peak performance on how you can Overcome your reptilian monkey brain and get to be on your side in this day and age and this more than the world so I've been Getting a bunch of books in regards to thinking regards to the brain how the brain works and LP how the subconscious mind The other thing clearly a book on cognitive biases Organized mind some stuff done by neuroscientists Cognitive behavior therapy you see You have to really immerse yourself and that's how you get the best perspective. So that's what I'm doing right now I'm no longer just reading philosophy for the sake of in philosophy. I'm not reading biographies for the sake of in biographies I'm reading things that are gonna help me Get the specified knowledge I need at some times and certain knowledge You can't get from books that you buy the stores like If you go to a bookshop for example, it's gonna be really hard for you to find a book on you know C++ coding or Copywriting or they tend to be more generic Type of books. So if you want to get specific knowledge, I recommend you Look up on the iBook store an Apple or you look up on the Kindle store on the Kindle store There's a whole bunch of books are like a dollar each that people have written That really niche down on certain ideas and they're very beneficial You can just collect about 10 of those at one time Just go through it and you'd be amazed at how much value you can get from all those books It's like a dollar is crazy And the last thing I want to talk about is audiobooks right all your books. I love all your books audiobooks are great because they allow you to Read while you're on the bus going to work or driving going to work They allow you to absorb information while you're cleaning dishes Maybe when you're even on the tour taking a shit There's a lot of time that's wasted throughout the day that you can really utilize to Get the most out of your learning and all your books are really great. What I use for all your books is Audible I Probably put a link in the description So you guys can check that out. It's gonna be like a free try off one month And there's a recurring monthly payment and what happens is you can Swap books and stuff like that and all that good shit But I personally don't use the recurring payment. I just buy Books straight up because I don't like recurring payments. The link is gonna be a free link by the way I'll give a fuck I Tell my subscribers when things are affiliated by actually use this Service as you can see that's audible right there. I'm not sure if the camera can see that Actually a whole bunch of books there that you can check out so Actually use this so I don't have any problem Putting the link down there. So what I do all your books is whenever I'm going to uni for example I have to catch a bus there and it's like an hour ride. Just plug my headphones in Put the speed of the book to like 1.5 I just smashed through it and you literally can finish a book within like two three days Does get costly but remember the best investment is an investment in your education So doesn't matter the average cost of all your books about 30 bucks for about eight hours and Yeah, you can really get that acquired knowledge anyway guys I hope that helped you in your reading Go out there and read that shit, baby Until next time peace like comment subscribe and all that good stuff I'm gonna show you how to be part of the notification gang It's real simple click subscribe and you click on this little bell here boom bam boom that's it And you get notifications as soon as the videos are up peace
