READ 1 BOOK A WEEK (52 books a year)

4 WAYS TO READ A BOOK A WEEK
Keep an active book list.
Every time you receive a book recommendation, write it down or note it on your smartphone. Keep a regularly updated list of books you’re excited to read.
Test your reading speed.
Time yourself reading a book at normal speed for 60 seconds.
When you finish, count the number of lines you read per minute – your LPM.
Count the number of words in an average line. (Most books have 10 words per line.)
Multiply your LPM by the number of words to find your reading speed in words per minute (WPM).
Most people read roughly 200 – 250 WPM.
Calculate how long it takes to read a book.
According to Amazon, the median number of words per book is approximately 64000. 50% have more words; 50% have fewer words.
If you read 200 WPM, you can finish a book in 320 minutes. Divide that by 7 – that’s roughly 45 minutes of reading per day! Isn’t that less than you thought?
Schedule your reading.
Nothing is better than reading in terms of building your mental muscles.
But most people neglect to take care of their minds the way they take care of their bodies.
If you just talk about reading, it won’t happen. Schedule your reading time when you know you can commit to it.
Treat that time as sacred, like a meeting with your investors or your boss.

There you have it, first great list of 10 books mentioned by Jim Kwik to take you to the very next level.
