Summary

What if you could read one book a week without speed reading?

The average American reads four books a year. Compare that to the average CEO who reads four to five books a month, and it’s easy to see how reading one book a week, fifty-two books a year, is a huge advantage in business, learning, and life. There’s no denying that leaders are readers.

I love the topic of today’s episode. Reading is important to me because I grew up with learning challenges from a brain injury. It took me a few extra years to learn how to read and it was one of my biggest challenges. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping you unlock your reading superpower.

We live the age of information, where the right knowledge isn’t just power, it’s profit. The faster you learn, the faster you can earn. And the quickest, easiest way to learn anything is by reading a book. If you’re looking for tips, tools, and techniques to help you read more, this episode is for you.

0:10.0	Let's imagine if we could access 100% of our brain's capacity.
0:15.0	I wasn't high, wasn't wired, just clear.

0:20.0	I know Kung Fu.
0:24.0	Show me. What if you could read one book a week?
0:30.0	One book a week that's 52 books a year without speed reading. Would that give you an advantage? A little bit or a lot.
0:38.0	One of the reasons why I love the topic of reading, we've all heard the phrase leaders or readers is because as many of you know I grew up with learning
0:46.6	challenges from a brain injury and it actually took me an extra few years to learn how to read and it was one of my biggest challenges. I remember
0:55.1	when they would pass around the book in elementary school and you'd have to read out loud
0:59.7	and I couldn't do it and I think that's where a lot of fear of public speaking
1:02.9	actually comes from and maybe that's where I got my fear of public speaking but I
1:07.6	know that leaders are readers and you know it too that if you're listening
1:10.3	to this you know the power of reading and that if somebody could read 52 books a year they have a huge advantage over somebody who only reads two books a year.
1:19.3	In fact I've read before that the average person only reads a few books a year while the other
1:25.1	average CEO actually reads four or five a month. So the reason why reading is so powerful
1:31.0	is we live in this information age where the right knowledge is not only
1:34.4	power its profit and I don't just mean financial profit that's obvious there's a
1:38.7	divide between those who know and those who don't know but the beautiful thing about it is we live in an age of
