Why do you read books? We might read all kinds of books, but not have an intention for our time spent with that author. What if you read books more intentionally? Nicholas Hutchison of Bookthinkers spends his days reading books with the aim of learning, growing and applying what he’s learned right away.
I love that idea, but personally don’t have systems in place for turning bookish inspiration into action. I asked Nicholas how he manages the ideas he reads about and turns them into changes in his life. We also talked about the challenges he’s facing finishing writing his own book, his morning routines and their effects on his productivity, and much more bookish fun.
Tune in to give your bookish self a treat and hear more about how to make your reading time more effective.

Nicholas’s point about rereading books at different life stages really hit home – I picked up The Artist’s Way again last year and it felt like a completely different book. I’m curious which title he’d recommend for someone who wants to start building a regular reading habit but keeps abandoning books halfway through.
