Hundred thirty two

I should admit that I lack the concentration to read serious stuff. I bought so many books and most are not read. Sill I am worried about the books borrowed by friends. Even though they return on time, I doubt I will read them. I tried all things to put back my reading habit on track. Like, I bought a new reading lamp, got a wall stand next to my PC or plan like read one page per day and many more. The last book I read end to end was Atomic habits. The book was good and had a long lasting impression on my routine. I should re-read that book.

Many recommend rereading a book. But I have so many unfinished books and scrambling for the time to reread. I also found that non-fiction books are difficult to read, you need to imbibe the ideas of the book. Often these ideas reverberate and make you read more on the net to understand that concept. Still, I need to practice proactively fast reading. The number of subjects interests me are vast and books available in all these areas are also extensive.

Reading a book on stress. Weaning from the internet and reading a book is stress. Isn’t it a paradox? I observed that what I read on net evaporates much faster than a book. What I read on the internet is shallow both by the and attention. When you read a book (non-fiction) you have to think along with the author and often you don’t agree with the author and many times you appreciate the author’s opinions. This kind of thinking along with the reading make an impact and we remember for a long time. But this process has long-term benefits and lacks the short-term joy of internet nonsense reading. We are tuned to enjoy short-term benefits and is very difficult to convince the brain about long-term benefits.
