“A book is more powerful than a scroll.” When MBK Ambassador Ikenna Okoye (Uniondale, NY) wants to get grounded, it’s not an app or a guided meditation that he opens — it’s a book. Ikenna takes President Obama’s advice that “Reading is the gateway skill that makes all other learning possible.” He believes that reading helps us feel grounded, connecting to something bigger and beyond our own experiences. Ikenna is putting that belief into action by advancing MBK Milestone 2: ensuring students read at grade level by third grade. He tracks reading progress across his school district and helps schools celebrate their successes along the way. A book at a time, Ikenna is supporting elementary students as they build strong reading habits, confidence, and focus. “As an MBK Ambassador, I want more students to see reading as an opportunity, not just something to do.”

Jordan Peterson’s method for remembering everything you read: Stop highlighting. Stop taking notes while reading. Read a section → close the book → write down what you remember in your own words. Reformulate it. Connect it. Criticize it. That’s how information actually becomes part of you. What’s your take, do you learn and retain more by actively recalling and rewriting, or by highlighting and passive note-taking?

'YOU ARE GAY! YOU ARE GAY! And I'm...just too smart for books' Andrew Tate says he is a 'man of action' and doesn't need to read, as he 'pays people to do that' 'IF READING IS SO IMPORTANT WHY DOES NOBODY KNOW WHO THE F*CK YOU ARE?'

"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)

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.

Every few years a new silly speed-reading hack becomes popular, here's the latest one: It's called Quantum Speed-Reading (QSR). How does it work? The faster you flip through a book, the faster you 'read' it. Using QSR, kids can 'read' 100,000 words in 5 minutes. Yumiko Tobitani, the creator of QSR, presented no scientific evidence for her method. Instead, she says that "when a book is flipped through at high speed the words are transformed into images and come out as pictures," and that flipping through a book helps you pick up "the thought vibrations emanating from it." QSR training centers are popping up across China and Japan and charging students $860 to teach them this new reading method.

Javier Milei on reading Ludwig von Mises: “I remember the experience of reading Human Action by Mises. I started to read this book right from the first page and I didn’t stop until I finished it. That was a true revolution in my head.”

Was Ezekiel’s Story about a UFO Encounter? Banned Books of the Bible…. The Book of Enoch “I do not Believe you can be a Christian and not believe in Extraterrestrials”… I’m sure this is going to stir the pot… Do you believed there were books of the Bible that were banned? Extraterrestrials, are they demons? Where does the Book of Enoch fall? Have you read it? What do you think? Clip Full

260506 BAEKHYUN WEVERSE LIVE 🐶: I didn’t read this in advance on purpose. The title of the book is ‘Mom Became a Ghost.’ I’ll try reading this now. It’s my first time, really, my first time reading it. I’ll read it for you. My birthday, it’s already over. My birthday starts from today, so instead of always saying ‘thank you for my birthday,’ I’ll just keep that gratitude in my heart all day. But now, this is content. ‘Mom Became a Ghost.’ Alright, let’s start.

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.

NPR CEO Katherine Maher was completely caught off guard today after Rep. Brandon Gill started reading her past tweets to her one by one. Absolutely brutal. Gill: Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy? Maher: I believe that I tweeted that. I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the last half-decade. Gill: Do you believe that America believes in black plunder and white democracy? Maher: I don't believe that, sir. Gill: You tweeted that in reference to a book you were reading at the time: The Case for Reparations. Maher: I don't think I've ever read that book, sir. Gill: You tweeted about it. You said you 'took a day off to fully read the Case for Reparations.' Maher: I apologize. I don't recall that I did.

My advice to people: Shut the social media off. Not forever — just give yourself a break. An hour is fine. Two hours, okay. Eight hours is too much and you know it. -Read a book. -Watch a YouTube lecture. -Do something that actually fills you up. And here's the other thing, doubting yourself and feeling pressure is normal. Take a breath. It doesn't mean something is wrong with you. But you have to manifest and get yourself into the right mindset. Read about positive actualization. Think big. Do it consistently and over time things start to shift in ways that surprise you. The first person you have to believe in is yourself and when you start projecting that confidence it becomes habitual. That's when everything changes.
