Reading

A book is someone's entire life, sometimes several decades of trial, failure, and hard-won insight, condensed into a few hundred pages you can get through in a week. Nothing else comes close to that rate of return. Reading is how I borrow other people's experience instead of paying full price for my own, and it's the single habit I'd credit most for whatever I've managed to figure out.

I treat it as an asset, not a pastime. Something I'm compounding, deliberately, book by book. If you're not reading yet, this is me telling you directly: pick one up. Fall in love with it. It is the most reliable way I know to expand what your mind can do and shorten the distance between where you are and where you're trying to get.
