Jim Kwik explains why reading matters: you can absorb decades of someone's expertise in days instead of spending years learning through trial and error. Reading lets you skip the costly mistakes and download knowledge fast.
What I love about reading, especially speed reading and quick reading the most, is it allows you to download decades into days. And what I mean by that is that if an author is an expert in a field, let's say it's financial or it's relationships or it's health, that person has decades of experience. And if I could sit down in an afternoon or a couple of days and read that book, wow, I could save so much time and I don't have to go through the trial and error and all the money that that person spent to get their education. And that's why I love reading.
