Reading Books is a Bad Way to Learn

from The Stoic Handbook with Jon Brooks · host Jon Brooks

I read a lot, so it feels strange to say this, but reading books is a poor way to actually learn something. Exposure to ideas is not the same as living them.In this one I lay out how I think about learning, and why a book only earns its keep once you already have a framework to hang it on. Read without that, and you finish the book having met the ideas but changed nothing.Free 7-Day Stoic Challenge: stoicchallenge.coThe Stoic Vault: stoicvault.com
