ATG 175: How I Read 100 Books In A Year

JON ACUFF
About this episode

How do I plow through 100 books yearly? Here's a sneak peak: start with your shelf, hit the library, track your progress on Goodreads, and always have a new book queued up. Why do I read so much? Well, reading makes you more likely to be a millionaire. That’s a cool benefit. According to socio-economist Randall Bell, “Those who read seven or more books per year are 122 percent more likely to be millionaires as opposed to those who never read.” I like those odds.

In this episode, I could only cover 9 tips, but if you want all 36 of my tips, you can download my free guide! Check it out at www.JonAcuff.com/read.

Jon's Book List:
The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler
Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara
The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper
Obvious Adams by Robert Updegraff
