Nick Hutchison argues reading is a skill you have to practice like golf or bodybuilding. Without training, you'll lag behind and forget what you read. His paid program Rise of the Reader costs $20 and teaches a system to retain and apply what books teach.
Chapters
What do golf, bodybuilding, and reading personal development books have in common? More than you may think. Each one is a skillset that can be developed over time through repetition and implementation. And so if I went out on the golf course and tried to play with my friends that go every single weekend, having never played in my life, I would stink compared to them. I should not expect to beat them. Same thing with reading these books. I've read hundreds and hundreds of books. No wonder I can read, retain, and implement the information that I'm learning. So what I've decided to do was share all of my favorite secrets that I've learned on reading, implementing, and retaining more from the books you're reading. And it's all available for $20 and a few hours of your time. The book is called Rise of the Reader, and it will teach you exactly how to develop your reading skills so that you can implement more from these books and they can change your life.
