#2I’d summarize it as “first, find 10 hours per week, and read short books.”

I keep on reading about people that feel so proud that they read 1 or 2 books a week. When it comes to books for self-improvement it's not the number of books you read but how you apply what you read. It's many times better to read fewer books and apply what you learn rather than to read so many that you barely remember what was read and never get a chance to apply it in life.

Summary:
* Force yourself to read everywhere
* But don't force it
* Buy a lot of books at once
* Read them all at once
* Remember stuff you read
I don't even know why I'm commenting on such a low-effort blog post. Ironically, I read a lot of self-help books as well and I realized that most of them are a sham, so I'm writing a book on ... well ... how to read self-help books.

Outline flat-out refuses to work on Firefox (Mobile) for me. Firefox Lite and Chrome(ium) works fine. Any idea why?
Disabling all my addons and it still doesn't work.

#6Can I just say that book fairs or second hand sales are great to get quite literally bucket load of books for really cheap.

Alternatively, get a Kindle reader (or use the Kindle App). With an Amazon account you can read the first chapter of (most) ebooks for free.

#9My two cents to add. Dont use a highlighter. Underline with a pen. Especially a good ink rich black pen. Not a cheap bic pen. Too many highlights annoy the hell out of the eyes. At least to me. And the older I get, the more it frustrates my vision and focus. Nice clean black lines looks more elegant in the long term compared to highlighter.

Indeed, I often have to remind myself to read less and do more. You need experience to inform your reading. Plus, experience often imprints lessons on your mind more vividly than dry reading.
