What about reading books?

I'm not a person that is really reading much. Mostly I'm taking my time to take a book and read or even finish it. Generally, when it comes to reading, I take a book before sleeping. What about you? Are you reading a lot? When and What are you reading? What was the last book? My latest book was "Der Weg zur finanziellen Freiheit - Bodo Schäfer"

I'm the kind of person who starts reading books to put ideas into action right away. There are advantages and disadvantages to this. Being a perfectionist, I try to get the most out of what I read right away. This often prevented me from reading a book to the end. I decided to change my approach to reading. I started using the sammari more often before reading books, writing out the key ideas for myself and then reading the whole book if the ideas were important. This paid off. My reading list began to grow. Now I've created Bookideas where I've collected key ideas from thousands of books for business and personal development. If the idea interests you, follow me so you don't miss the launch 🚀

I'm not much into books now. But was reading a lot of them until a few years back. 2 books that got me into reading are: Rich dad Poor dad (It's pretty controversial book now I heard) and Predictably Irrational (That blew my mind about what good marketing can do) And Sapiens is a must read too. I have completed only like 10% of it, but I can still say it completely changes your perspective on evolution, life, people and everything around you.

I am definitely a lover of reading!! I actually have a little bit of an addiction lol I read business/self improvement books in the morning and usually get a little bit of reading in right before I sleep on my phone (some fantasy reads) - this has been really effecting my sleep of late LOL

I'm a big fan of books, especially those about psychology and neuroscience! 📚💕 Lately, I've been hooked on clinical psychology reads—they're like a peek into the mysteries of the mind.

Sometimes I read books, but more psychologically and various studies. It is very interesting

I am not a big reader either, to be honest. But I totally get you. Reading can be a challenge with a busy schedule. Btw your latest book sounds interesting.

It took me MANY years to realize that books are condensed learnings from others that simply can save you time. Recently read Obviously Awesome. Quick read. Was a good refresher/validation for me, but would be super helpful to early career founders. There are many ways to build a great product, but it's best if you actually know the kind of product that you are building.
