Can You Be Smart without Reading?

from Life On Books Podcast · host Life On Books

In this episode we address many of the comments we received on a recent Tiktok video about General Jim Mattis who is quoted as saying "If you don't read, you are functionally illiterate." Many people pointed out that there are other ways to learn, and we don't disagree, but we do feel that books pose a unique advantage to learning that other mediums like listening or watching don't offer. In today's episode we dig into those differences, but we also ask for you to share your point of view on this as well. Please comment, and share your thoughts!
