About purposeful reading
Purposeful reading is about reading books with the intention and determination to grow from them. It is not passive reading at all. You read a book to glean from the author.
It means
a) looking out for concepts that resonate with you, that you would want to adopt for your own life.
b) asking yourself questions that trigger introspection. e.g. What did I learn? Are these lessons game changers that could transform my life if I were to adopt them? What am I going to change in my life from what I have learnt? What resources do it need to make this happen? How much time am I giving myself to achieve this?
c) getting a dedicated journal to document your lessons, write new words or concepts, research on them and use them where possible.
d) challenging yourself to also read-aloud so you can hear your own voice and master how you want to sound.
e) tracking your progress and being part of a community of people who are striving to achieve the same things.
These are some of the basics that will transform your life.
