Reading is Radical | DS549 | Doug.show

Doug discusses his new reading initiative, sparked at the turn of the year, which aims to rekindle his interest in nonfiction. Despite reading a lot of fiction, particularly mystery and thriller genres like the Reacher and Joe Pickett series, Doug has noticed a decline in his nonfiction reads. He shares his collection of nonfiction books he plans to read, including works by Charles Duhigg, Mark Manson, and Cal Newport. Doug also reflects on the importance of focusing and avoiding the distraction of social media. He emphasizes his strategy of reading at least one hour per day and shares his tactics for taking notes and making books more interactive and memorable.  📌 Check out the books: *The links below are affiliate links, so I get a commission if you purchase.
