How to Effortlessly Read any Book from Cover to Cover.

Let’s be honest with ourselves. Everyone loves the idea of reading a book from cover to cover. It makes us feel we’ve accomplished something very noble. Not only that, but we also feel empowered by the knowledge we’ve absorbed.

The question now becomes:

Why is it so freaking difficult to pick up a book and just read it?

Well, we’ll get to that soon. But first, let me share with you a snippet of my terrible reading habit. In the past two years, I succeeded to read only a single book from introduction to conclusion.

I didn’t even buy the book. It was given to me for free at a conference. So, I don’t know if that even counts for anything. Looking back, I’m appalled by my own statistics. It’s unbelievable.

Now, fast forward to 2020, I read on average four books every month. I have read more books in the last few months than I have ever read in my entire life.

What changed? My perspective and methodology.

And that’s what I’m going to share with you in a second. You’ll be able to use the same strategy to read any book of any size without ever getting overwhelmed or burned out.
