Ultimate Hack To Grow as a person through reading in under a minute read!
I don’t read for social approval. I read things that appeal to me and I scour for them. I don’t wait for the world or my feed to tell me what should be on my mind next.
After a while on Media's, I have realized that my fundamentals kick in the moment I start browsing books in a store or online, I dig deep. Digging to unearth what's needed and not what the world wants to feed me.
Many times I am asked why I read the books I read, that which no one is.
It is quite simple. I have a level of contrarianism that offsets with my choices and it has been a very long time since I have been reading books and so I trust my intuition and long-forgotten books more than what our decade has thrown at us for a spin. For me, it matters most that my basics are in place and thus I read Classics, same reason why I loved Maths as a child. And I love Science because it makes you think. Reading about History and people makes you know more than you would by yourself in the environment you have been raised in. Reading novels or mysteries just deepens the imagination and I salivate for depth.
People say that you choose an activity which makes you religious and this is it for me. Books will be the end of me.
