About this listen
Are you devouring every personal development bestseller out there but still finding it hard to apply what you’re learning to everyday life? Reading for self-improvement can be powerful as long as you’re effectively implementing the right information.
You can become a more successful problem solver and transform your life in as little as 15 minutes a day!
Nick Hutchison, founder of the popular book review site BookThinkers, read over 400 personal development books, but implementing their valuable lessons was tougher than just finishing the next chapter.
Nick knew self-help books could help him do things like master his social anxiety and fear of public speaking, opening the doors to a successful career in business.
Through trial and error, he developed an easy-to-follow framework to retain the knowledge needed to transform his life completely.
Now he’s giving you over 100 habits to implement into your own reading journey and fulfill your dreams.
In this book, you will learn: How swapping 15 minutes of social media scrolling for 15 minutes of reading can dramatically impact 20 different areas of your life.
The power of intention when it comes to choosing the right books for you and how much you retain from their knowledge.
How to avoid bias and situational advice in the self-help industry.
Methods for note-taking and information implementation.
More than 100 new habits to improve your health, wealth, and happiness.
With relatable anecdotes and engaging stories, Rise of the Reader will inspire and motivate you to take action and embrace the power of reading.

"What would it be like to see all as one?" Alan Watts asks. "We hear about attaining great states of consciousness. But the only way to have a real transformation is to stop thinking about it - and simply experience it." From the 1950s to the 1970s, this seminal teacher sparked the West's love for Eastern wisdom. Now, in these rare recorded gems, he inspires a new generation of inner explorers seeking deeper insights into meditation - its myriad forms, how they work, and what happens when we practice them.

The MANipulator manual. Keep your man interested and begging for more without playing games. So many women get in trouble in their love lives, and 99.9 percent of that trouble could have been avoided if they'd said "Well, f**k him!" a bit more often. Too many women are way too nice and compliant to their men, especially when these men don't deserve that kind of treatment. I, as a dating coach and author of books for women who want to get men, cannot take it anymore.

Humans are a puzzling species. On the one hand, we struggle to survive on our own in the wild, often failing to overcome even basic challenges, like obtaining food, building shelters, or avoiding predators. On the other hand, human groups have produced ingenious technologies, sophisticated languages, and complex institutions that have permitted us to successfully expand into a vast range of diverse environments. What has enabled us to dominate the globe, more than any other species, while remaining virtually helpless as lone individuals?

Resilience is the ability to face and handle life's challenges, whether everyday disappointments or extraordinary disasters. While resilience is innate in the brain, over time, we learn unhelpful patterns, which then become fixed in our neural circuitry. But science is now revealing that what previously seemed hardwired can be rewired, and Bouncing Back shows us how. With powerful, time-tested exercises, Linda Graham guides us in rebuilding our core well-being and disaster-proofing our brains.

Just What I Needed
I needed something to kickstart me into reading again. I was an avid reader as a kid and young adult, mostly fantasy books but not all. Over the last several years, I've strictly read all electronic or listened to audio books. I feel as if the world is passing me by and I waste so much time on social media, watching Netflix, and being robotic everywhere else in my life. This book is helping me to read more, retain more, and apply what I've learned. Onward!

Small Intentional Actions Can Work Wonders
Nicks book is excellent. Showing how small intentional actions repeated over time can create life changing consequences! The way he breaks them down shows that not only can it be simplified but made fun like a game. You can do this journey with peers and grow and learn together. Not only am I enjoying and learning so much from this book but I am getting excited for the next books I read. I am ready to make my intentional goal for what I want out of my next read and see how my mind reacts differently to sharing that intention within the cover of the book.
