Clavicular explaining why he doesn't read books is foolish: "I don't really read books...you could just get the information through summaries and articles." Thinking that a book summary can replace reading a book is like thinking a movie trailer can replace watching a movie.

The importance of deep reading and critical thinking as our brains adapt to digital distractions and information overload is the subject of this year’s Princeton Pre-read book, “Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World” by Maryanne Wolf. The Pre-read is a Princeton tradition started by President Eisgruber, who introduces first-year students to intellectual life on campus by selecting a book to read and discuss together. "'Reader, Come Home' addresses beautifully and persuasively what may be the single most important question for incoming students at Princeton University, why should we continue to read long, demanding books when short summaries are easily obtained?" Read more on why President Eisgruber selected this year's Pre-read:

Interesting perspective on school vs. books by MrBeast: "I graduated from school thinking books suck, books are boring, and I'd never read a book. But in reality, they were just giving me sh*tty books that I hated." "I loved The Goal, and I loved Walter Isaacson's biography on Steve Jobs and Elon Musk...but the problem is just every book they gave me in school was terrible."

I agree with Jay Dyer. Most people simply don't ready anymore. David Wood Dr. David Wood recently admitted that if a book is more than like 200 pages he wouldn't read it. Jay actually asked me for book recommendations prior to our debate and delayed the debate so that he could read a particular book before our debate. Here are some of the books I read in preparation for my debate with Jay. Admittedly, I haven't read every single page of these books. However, I've read many of them cover to cover and key parts in others that were related to our debate.

A lot of Epstein experts out here haven’t even read the book. Anyone trying to tell you he didn’t work for Israel who hasn’t read One Nation Under Blackmail is either intentionally spinning a narrative or entirely unserious. I have yet to meet anyone who’s read it and disputes the claims Whitney Webb makes. But really, this video is meant as a reminder- no amount of scrolling X will ever substitute for reading a book. Read more books.

The Sicilian by Mario Puzo, Atomic habits and Quran: Umar Nurmagomedov recalls the video where he was arguing with Khabib over books. “A long time ago, I read a book called The Sicilian. At the time, Islam was reading it as well, that’s why we were talking about it back then,” he told Red Corner MMA. “Yes, I’m reading a few books now. In particular, the book we were arguing about - Atomic Habits. I also often read the Quran,” he added.

John MacArthur's advice on how to best read Scripture: "It's much better to read books than to read spotty and randomly around, because when God gave us His word, He gave us books. Set a book target and keep reading it over and over."

Nick gets called out for hating LOTR despite not reading the books. "They're not worth reading... I don't want to read a fantasy novel about elves and stuff like that, it just sounds stupid... I like Game of Thrones which is BASED... It just sounds really dumb."

"The simplest reason to not read something published in the past 50 years is that's what everybody else is reading. The only books that most people read are books published in the last two years. And it's a simple fact of life that if you read what everybody else is reading, then the likelihood that you will write what they are writing and worst of all think what they are thinking is, let's say... increased." (From my interview with The Cultural Tutor)

Google founder Larry Page on how he learned to run a business When asked how he learned to run a business, Google cofounder Larry Page responds: “I read a lot of books.” He joked: “[When renaming Google to Alphabet] I read like three books on naming—which is more than anyone else had read. So I decided I was the expert . . . and actually that was useful. I recommend reading things.” It’s an important mindset that is often overlooked. One of the richest ways to learn something is reading things written by people who deeply understand their subject matter. Even Elon Musk was able to teach himself about the fundamentals of rocket design and astrodynamics by reading books. He is often quoted on this topic: “I read books and talked to people. I mean that's kind of how one learns anything. There's lots of great books out there and lots of smart people.” Building a startup is an infinite set of problems that are being thrown at you. Next time you’re facing one of those problems, I’d recommend finding the best book or blog post you can on the topic and reading it. You don’t need an MBA from a fancy school to be an expert in business or startups. You just need to sit down and read. Video source: FORTUNE (2015)
