10 Rules to Read More Books

The podcast outlines ten rules to increase the number of books one reads per year, emphasizing environmental design and mindset shifts. It starts with the "pillow rule," advocating for keeping a Kindle or book by the bed and charging phones elsewhere to avoid distractions. The discussion highlights designing a digital environment that favors reading by placing reading apps on the home screen and removing social media apps. Listeners are encouraged to utilize audiobooks during mundane tasks and not to feel obligated to finish every book. The podcast also suggests embracing "trashy" books to build a reading habit and gamifying the process using platforms like Goodreads. It concludes by promoting an identity shift towards viewing oneself as a reader.
