Asd 3, CAN'T FINISH NON-FICTION BOOKS? WATCH THIS!

CAN'T FINISH NON-FICTION BOOKS? WATCH THIS!

Sometimes i can like i've already mentioned um i can find something self-help books hard to read..

like maybe i don't connect with the author or maybe there's the content it's just there's just

so much content and you know, i do start them with good intentions but then don't always get to the

end um so what advice would you give to someone like me who who wants to improve and grow, but

just sometimes lacks commitment to complete the book and then perhaps you know follow through?

i think more important than finishing a book is to apply something - even if it is just one

little thing - to your life and practically apply that knowledge. because... and i may have been in

this category of people that... you know... you get a high from putting a check mark on your

books read list.. right.. and then you read hundreds of books but then, what's the point

of reading all of them, if it didn't help you to improve your life in any way. so i think.. don't

even worry about finishing or getting to the end. it's more about applying. if you haven't finished

a book but just after one or two chapters, you applied something, i think that's way more

useful than finishing the book just to say... just for that mental check mark. yeah right yeah

absolutely. i... i believe that knowledge is not power, knowledge plus action is power.

i firmly believe in that. so we have to have a very very strong action bias, if we are

serious about self-improvement. um i love that that's really power it's powerful it is powerful

action. action is required for anything i i think in life absolutely um i i just

wanted to add in here one book that i really love um is the charge by brendan burchard. i

don't know if you've read that one at all? i know the author but i haven't read the book.

okay yeah. i have it on audible and i think i've listened to it three times

and um and i've actually got the book as well um but yeah it's one book that i keep going back to

again and again and again and you know.. again it's a case of.. i haven't applied everything,

but i just like hearing it and every time i learn something new from it so.. i think you know..

for people perhaps that do struggle to read um these sorts of books, for me personally,

i actually like to listen to them and i'm usually doing that whilst i'm driving or cooking or

vacuuming or something like that, where i i'm not just sitting down necessarily and and fully

focused but just hearing though and preferably in in the cases where the author is actually reading

the book themselves, rather than a third person.. um hearing the author's voice in my head also

makes it that much more powerful so i don't know if you have any thoughts about that yourself but

if you've done any sort of audio books as part of your... i think my learning style is more visual

and this is a good example that you know some people are auditory learners so some people learn

better through sound. i just happen to be.. i have to see things and underline or highlight them and

also read them again and again if i see a quote or a line that kind of blows my mind. i just want

to go back and reread it or think about or just pause and reflect on it. so yeah, i think we all

have our styles but it's.. we're so lucky to live in this world where audiobooks are available for

pretty much every book that comes out. so yeah now people who are not visual learners or who don't

have the time to sit and read, they could like drive to work and listen to the audiobook yeah you
