Reading books is the antidote to a world that wants you to think, do and be like the majority.
Reading voraciously makes you into someone who thinks for themeselves.
How much is that worth to you?

How much is that worth to you?
A truly open mind learns and synthesizes every day. In synthesis, opinions are persuaded by scientific certainties. But if you learn everyday you realize that scientific certainties are challenged and altered regularly.
Reading is what makes this possible. It keeps you curious; always wondering what lies around the next corner. It makes life exciting and never dull.
How much is that worth to me?
It's worth being alive.
I read at least an hour every day. Last year I read almost 100 books. A good mix of philosophy, economics, history, and great adventure and science fiction novels (morally good heroes are inspiring and necessary).
I highly recommend reading to anyone, but try to find books recommended by people who also read a lot. It usually filters the books worth reading ☺️
