It's not about reading a book.

It's about studying a book.

For $30, I can buy the blueprint of somebody who's accomplished the thing that I'm trying to do.

Spent 30 years of mastery on that one topic that I've never done before.

And I can study and learn from that person in six to eight hours.

Come on.

When I look back on my life and I think of like these moments that changed everything for me, when I'm 17 and I'm in rehab and I discover this yellow book on Java programming and that passion that I discovered in that moment around writing code, reading literally saved my life.

And it can do it for you too.

Today, I think I've read over 1600 books.

I buy courses on things weekly and I have an unlimited budget for my mind.

Why?

Every reader may not be a leader, but every leader is definitely a reader.

When you look at Elon, you look at Oprah, Zuck, they've all attributed their success to reading.

So here are four tips on how to efficiently learn every day.

One, read at least 10 pages of a book every morning.

Now, if you want to cheat, just bump the font up on your Kindle.

My wife makes fun of me all the time.

She thinks I'm blind because then those 10 pages are a lot quicker to get through.

But I've been doing this for 18 years, almost religiously.

Right after I free my mind from journaling, I go into feeding it by reading.
