James Laughlin argues you can listen to hundreds of audiobooks at double speed during daily activities instead of carving out dedicated reading time. He warns that constantly chasing goals without finding fulfillment in the process itself leads to dissatisfaction.
I read hundreds of books but I don't read them. I listen to them and I listen to them at these different points in my day when I'm ready to sort of receive something and I listen to them at double speed. I recorded that book. I've listened to myself at double speed and trust me it's you'll get plenty. Just so that's the first thing. It's like I don't actually recommend that you sit down. If you are that engaged in your life it's a fantasy to think that you're going to set aside hours a day for reading. That's point number point number two. Why would you pick up or listen to a recording like this or there are many others out there? Because the chase, like those of us who are called to service, called to achieve, you can't turn that off. And if you don't find a way to find personal fulfillment in the process of your striving, you are condemned to a life of dissatisfaction.
