TJ Walker (speaker) recommends reading physical paper books to improve the quality of thinking and creativity. He contrasts books favorably against documentaries, podcasts, blogs, and screens, explaining that paper helps him slow down, underline, and think more deeply; screens (including Kindle) make his "brain race." The core advice: to increase thinking quality, read real (paper) books.

Chapters

Yes, there are great documentaries, more than ever before available. Yes, they're fantastic podcasts. Yes, there are world class bloggers giving you great insights. But there's nothing better yet invented that I know of than these things. Books. If you really want to increase the quality of your thinking, of your creativity, my recommendation is to read actual books. And I mean books made of paper. Now, I read digital books, but I find it so much easier to slow down and think reading a paper book and underline it. And yes, I know you can do a type of underlining using an Amazon Kindle, but my brain just races when I'm looking at a screen. When I'm looking at paper, it will slow down, allows me to think. If you want to increase the quality of your thinking, read real books.
