Books are obstacle courses for the mind. By confronting us with paradigm shifting ideas they challenge us to stretch our capacity for understanding. And when we succeed, they will open up a world which we couldn’t see before. And then, in this unfamiliar world, we find ourselves having new thoughts and breaking new rules, using new magic and exploring new possibilities.

And finally we must come to the conclusion, when we absorb ideas too big for our former selves, we change and we grow and burst like a butterfly out of our old shells that don’t serve us no more. Inhale the essence of these books and feel yourself brimming with vitality! But I must warn you, these books are everything but safe… You Must Change Your Life – Peter Sloterdijk In this dazzling display of historic inquiry Sloterdijk delves deep into our human tendency to experience ‘vertical tension’ – the call to outgrow oneself and leave behind our old deficient selves.

How To Read a Book a Week in 2012. Yep, I finally did it. I read over a book a week all of the past year. More than that– I never fell behind or stopped. I was always ahead of schedule for the entire year. So now, this coming year, guess what? I’d like you to do the same. Why in God’s Name You Would Want To Do This It feels awesome. . … whatever, just do it already. Why One a Week? First of all, why so many, why not just “read more books?” So, that’s first. One Day at a Time The average book I read was maybe 250-300 pages. Make It a Routine and Stack It I have a habit right now of getting up, showering, etc., and then going out for breakfast every morning, sitting at counter at the same restaurant, and drinking coffee until I’ve read my 40 pages. Why do I do it like this? Oh, and a protip: Set it up early in the day, as early as possible.

Use Every Moment If you have a commute, use it. It’s Ok To Give Up… Kind Of If something sucks (or feels tough), it’s ok give up on it– for now. It’s Ok To Cheat “This is cheating,” you may say.
