When it comes to selecting a book to read, the process can often be overwhelming and intimidating, particularly if you are relatively new to the world of reading and haven't had the chance to explore it extensively.


That's why I reached out to Nick Hutchinson, founder of Book Thinkers, a renowned platform dedicated to promoting the love of reading and personal development. I sought his expertise on the art of selecting the perfect book, reading with purpose and intention, and effectively applying the knowledge gained from your reading materials to your everyday life.


In this episode:

  • 05:39 Info about Nick’s new book, Rise of the Reader!
  • 06:42 Debunking the myth: “I don’t have time to read”
  • 07:27 How you can read 26 books a year by committing to 15 mins/day
  • 10:07 The missing link between reading, retention and implementation
  • 13:18 How to implement what you read into real life action
  • 17:03 How to choose the right books to read
  • 19:53 Nick’s reading habits that have helped him read 500+ books in the past 10 years
