Reading is fundamental
October 28, 2019
I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.

This is not the case for me.
This time watching TV — brought me back to reading books.
What? Is that possible?
Yes. It was because of this:

Inside Bill’s Brain <Decoding Bill Gates>
- Bill Gates lugs around a shopping bag full of books.
- He takes out a full week off just to be alone with his thoughts and books.
- He’s got a shit ton of books in the house — a personal library. Yeah, that’s what it’s called.
So what’s the book I’m reading right now?
Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
I got my copy from the Sportsbet library. I have it on loan.
The challenge for this book is keeping laser focus and make sure I finish what I started.
Instead of burying my face to social media during my commute and every single time I get my phone, I open my book instead. It’s still a form of consuming content but it’s more engaging.
