The habit of reading is certainly a good one, but is there a way that we could improve on that habit and do it with much more determination and strength?

Well, there is no point asking a question like that from someone like me.

So, settle in as I begin to talk about the art of acquiring knowledge and wisdom.

People read books differently. A person might enjoy binge-reading hundreds of pages in a day, while another person might take the more rational approach of reading a few dozen pages every day.

A person might sit in front of a desk to read and a person might do it while they are lying on a bed. This is practically up to you to decide.

I am not here to tell you how you should manage your habit of reading. I want to emphasize more on the idea of reading and how well it is done, specially when we are talking about novels with worldbuilding and etc.

Sharing in the world of the author is just as important as focusing on every detail that goes on in the book.

What do I mean by that?

When we consume knowledge, we store it in a certain part of our brain for a certain amount of time.

More importantly, many details will be lost to us after a few days.

While that is the natural state of our mind and its processes, we could try to counter this natural tendency by thinking about a method that makes an everlasting impression on the audience of a book.

That method is a simple technique that you should use whenever you start to read something. Whether it is a scientific book or a fictional one, there is always something new to learn.

And what better way to do that other than sharing in the life of the world that the author has created?

What I am suggesting is basically like this: When you sit down to read a book, don’t just indulge in it as a member of the audience.

Use your creative energy and imagination to enter the world of the book.

Feel the presence of every character.

Feel the weight of their words. Understand the depths of their hearts. Grasp the thoughts of their mind.

Do not read the book. Live the book!

At the end of your imaginative journey, you will realize that the wisdom and experience that you have gained from it is much more than you normally would.

This is the art of reading books in a way that they never leave you or your mindset. Imagine if you read powerful works of fiction or motivation in this manner!

The result will be the collective wisdom that will baffle many a man in contact!
