Today I'm going to teach you how to read faster and retain more information inside of your head

so you can use it. Let's dive in. I want you to understand this. This is something that I realized

a long time ago. Learning is the secret

to getting ahead in life. It is. If you want to have a better life, you need to learn more.

If you want to get ahead of your competition, you need to learn more. If there's something that

you can't do, you need to learn more. Whatever it is that you need to learn. And I read a really concerning statistic about three years ago, and this was what it was.

33% of high school graduates never read another book.

42% of college graduates never read another book, and 80% of US families did not buy a book

last year. That's insane. I can't even believe those statistics are real. Eight out of 10

US families didn't buy a book last year. But if you look at the other statistic, the average CEO reads

about 60 books per year. So the average CEO reads more than a book a week, yet eight out of

10 American households did not buy a book last year. This is an amazing secret because it shows

you if you want to get ahead of everybody else, simply learn more.

Get more information into your head.

And I don't mean going and scrolling on Instagram and watching 15 second videos of someone

teaching you something.

I mean sitting down, taking time, and actually focusing on reading something from some of the

most intelligent people who have ever existed
