MWB #17 - Reading What I Am Reading

...a sneak peek into what I read

Hello, my friends,

I'm here in your inbox again today. And I'm excited about what I will be sharing with you today.

You see, I have a principle that I've shared over and over again on Twitter and with some people on a one-on-one level. It's called

Reading why they are reading and reading what they write.

You can’t discover someone just by reading one article from them. You have read a series of it and listen to a series of their podcast interviews, including YouTube appearances. That is the logic behind my philosophy here: https://t.co/REJAkaURir

I’ve always talked about one of my secrets. It's what I call ”reading what they reading” You want to become like them? -Read what they read. -Listen to what they listen to. -Pay attention to what they pay attention to.

The idea is simple and it is premised on the point that to become like someone or command the level of knowledge they command on a subject, you have to read what they are reading and read what they are writing.

It is only by doing so that you can see what they see that makes them talk the way they do.

In light of that, I want to share with you all what I'm reading. And not in the sense what you are used to whenever you receive this newsletter. It's in a completely different form.

The team at Matter gave me a link where you can comfortably view things that I'm reading, what I highlighted from it, and even my comments on the article.

I've added some of the best articles you will find on the internet on it. There you will get an idea of what I'm reading. And not just what I've read in the past but if you check at different intervals, you will see what I'm reading per time.

This is the link to that again.

Here's something I've not done before that I'm interested in.

Could you please share with me the most interesting thing you read on the internet in the last week or even all the time? You can do that by replying to this email or comment using this button.

Talking about the all-time best of what you might have read on the internet, here's mine in a Twitter thread. 7 articles or thread that shaped my approach to life from a life of voracious reading in 2019.

I spent a considerable part of 2019 accumulating knowledge. Along the way, I made a list of some articles that are absolutely worth my time again and again. Maybe it will worth your time as well. /A Thread.

That's all for this week.

See you next week.
