Engaging in reading is undeniably one of the most enriching pursuits one can embark upon. When you immerse yourself in quality content, the benefits are manifold, with minimal drawbacks. Over time, you’ll observe a significant expansion in your comprehension of the world.

Moreover, reading fosters the development of an analytical mindset, empowering you to pose insightful questions and pursue substantive answers.

Having indulged in the activity for decades, I can attest to the unparalleled enjoyment I derive from reading. Paradoxically, the more I read, the more acutely aware I become of my own ignorance, propelling me to seek out further knowledge. This results in a positive feedback loop.

Reflecting on my reading journey, which began nearly two decades ago, I initially lacked structure or a systematic approach. I would haphazardly select books based on recommendations and dive in. However, over time, I developed what I call my “Reading Framework.”

This framework entails concurrently reading four to five books, each belonging to distinct categories:

1. Investing or Business
2. Biography
3. Non-Fiction
4. Fiction (including Classics, Science Fiction, Fantasy, etc.)
5. Philosophy

For instance, at present, my reading list comprises:

• “McDonalds: Behind The Arches”
• “One Life”
• “How To Read A Book”
• “Three Body Problem”

Why indulge in multiple books simultaneously?

Diversifying your reading material prevents monotony. Focusing solely on one subject may lead to boredom and a desire to rush through the material, undermining comprehension. By alternating between different topics, you engage in interleaved learning, a technique endorsed by Scientific American for enhancing cognitive agility.

Studying related skills or concepts in parallel is a surprisingly effective way to train your brain

I view reading not as an obligation but as a source of genuine pleasure. It’s a dynamic process that keeps me intellectually stimulated and continually curious.

I invite you to explore the joys of reading for yourself.
