Most people don’t fail at reading because they’re busy… they fail because they’re inconsistent.

So let’s test it:

👉 How many days in a row can you read?

Drop your current streak below—even if it’s Day 1.

And if you’re starting today, say “Day 1” and come back tomorrow.

Let’s see who actually makes it 30 days.

You can take a book anywhere and a book can take you anywhere.

We become what we give our attention to.

"you are the books you read, the music you listen, the food you eat"

-some saying.

The danger of low readership in a society is being seen today.

That 30-minute reading session, or one short chapter per day, is absolutely magical! It doesn't "seem" like a lot of work, but then you end up crushing books left and right. Do it for a year, and you'll notice how everything is connected. Your depth of knowledge will grow. You will be able to sit and talk with almost anyone. And your critical thinking will improve.
My background: I've been a reader most of my life since childhood, but I noticed the benefits once I started reading good books as an adult. It's the one factor that gave me the best shot at life.

If you’re an avid reader you live a thousand lives!

I start my day reading. The first 30 minutes after I wake up, I always read while having my coffee. And then I try to include at least another 30-60 minutes of reading in bits and pieces throughout the day, as per my schedule and if time permits. I always feel so recharged and relaxed and inspired to start my day.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." - Will Durant (inspired by Aristotle)

I've just made a commitment to not only reading every day but writing in a journal as well.  I truly believe that it's the intellectual equivalent of physical exercise.

Beautifully stated! I used this analogy in another comment recently. My wife is from a small mountain village in Colombia. When she came to the US and had a physical with her new doctor the doctor asked if she had been a professional athlete or how many hours of exercise she did daily. My wife responded that she didn't really exercise. Her physician stated that my wife was among the most physically fit adults she had ever encountered in her medical career. So, what does this anecdote have to do with reading? For 25+ plus years my wife didn't drive and didn't have access to public transportation. She walked 5-6 days per week between 9-12 miles daily over hilly terrain sometimes with a backpack. She never focused on fitness or formal exercise. Her daily activities lead to a superior level of fitness. Daily reading of a wide array of books leads to many positive changes.

It was one of those 9 times of checking my phone that i found this video 🤣🤣

I read every day on my kindle.

I started reading again last year and finished 15 books. Now, this year I’m already on my 11th.
I do most of my reading at work; instead of scrolling on my phone I read at lunch and on my breaks.  …and comics at home at night.

I have finished 45 books this year! Most important for me is to have good books ready for me to pick up immediately. I mostly borrow from the library, so I make sure to reserve the books I want well in advance.

I’m 24 and I’m gonna commit my best to try read everyday consistently as I can. Thank for your video

An hour of power every day: 30 minutes of reading, 15 minutes of writing (journal etc), 15 minute walk to think (exercise and consolidate in your memory what you just read, lessons learned).

What happens if you read every day: 1) Happier mood. I don't know why, but I just feel like I'm living my purpose and I'm happier because of it. 2) And probably most important, compounding interest...like when someone mentions some slightly obscure topic (when I say obscure, I mean the average American doesn't know this) like Red Cloud's war against the US army, I not only know about Red Cloud, but I also have knowledge of the other important Sioux leaders (like one big overview of US history in the Midwest) like Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, having read books daily about all of them, and it's extremely satisfying when your studies yield fruit in your own education. 3) Finally, like when I read fiction, having stories like Lonesome Dove floating around in my soul, literally becoming a part of me, it's like I lived that story without having actually to have lived it.

I started reading while working security. Once I found genres,topics,concepts, etc that I was interested in, I could read a book a shift because most only take 2-4hrs to read. Later on, I started annotating on all the deep thinking books or books where it’s teaching something. I’ve gone from reading only 5 books completely up to the age of 25 to 5 books a week with ease.

Reading literally changes your brain and can be a source to reduce the stress that comes from a shorter attention span (chasing the next hit from reels/shorts).

I used to be a reader, i read every kind of book except fiction, i loved science and autobiographies, then i became a software engineer, i have never felt this dull in my life

I cannot hold a conversation, i have brain fogs, basically have issue with concentration on anything outside code
I hate it
i miss books
