There is always a Method Behind The Madness
Here are the Details of My Dream Project
After completing my traditional education, I find out serious deficiency as per the skills and knowledge required to navigate the life’s day to day challenges. I find out that everybody else is trying to figure out on the go through trial and error method. I struggle to find out a proper mentor who can give me knowledge required to become the high performer.
My approach to select a book was based either on previous book or a podcast or an expert admired by other experts. One wonderful approach I find out is selecting the random books from random bookstores just based on interesting titles. I set a mark of reading minimum 5 books per month and every now and then introduce reading marathons where I read book a day for at least 7 days consistently. I highlights the things I love. I take notes on the margins of the books.
I keep mixing the genres i.e. business, self-help, performance, communication etc to keep my interest in reading as well as to acquire the diverse range of knowledge.
- 1000 Books Completed with Over 10,000 hours of focused reading practice.
- My Personal Library contains more than 750 books - Biggest Investment of my life
- More than 65 books per year on average
- More than 62 Millions Words Consumed - 7 Times more knowledge than my peers and data equivalent to almost 6 four years degrees
- Through these books on over 15 domains, I have collected over 10,000 content assets, insights and tools from masters of the field.
I will be more ruthless in process of selection of books.
Will read current affairs less and history more.
Will be more disciplined in taking notes and building a commonplace system.
- There is no better habit with more higher ROI than reading books.
- Building a personal library is not just a life-changing decision but it is a legacy.
- Knowledge we can gain through reading books is definitely a big advantage but overall process of building a library and reading more than 1000 books can become an exciting way to spend time of your life.
