Episode #171. I read 150+ books in one year. Was it worth it?

If you’ve ever wondered how to read more books, or asked yourself “Is it actually possible to read 100 books a year?” — this episode breaks it down. I share exactly how I read over 3 books a week for one year, not by forcing myself to read faster, but by building simple, sustainable daily reading habits that fit into real life.

This isn’t about speed reading, hustle culture, or unrealistic daily routines. It’s about making reading feel enjoyable, calming and consistent — even if you’re busy, distracted, or haven’t considered yourself a “reader” in years.

In this episode, we’ll talk:

- How to read more books without reading faster

- The daily habits that helped me read 100+ books a year consistently

- How to build a daily reading routine that actually sticks

- Why reading more books improves focus, reduces stress, and expands perspective

- Whether reading 100 books a year is really worth it

I also talk about the long-term benefits of reading more — from connecting ideas across disciplines, to improving decision-making, creativity and mental clarity.

Whether your goal is to:

- Read more books in a year

- Build a daily reading habit

- Replace scrolling with something more meaningful

or simply enjoy reading again

This episode will help you rethink what’s possible with reading — and how small habits compound over time.
