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.

Everything we do in life is for love. Why? I don't know. Maybe love is what keeps us going. Maybe love is the means and ends to this life. Maybe the universe runs on love. Whatever may be the reason, love is what we all demand, and love is what we all want. But very often, we find ourselves without love. Some of us have lost love, some of us have lost ourselves in love and some of us don't believe in love. And for so many of us, it's worse because we don't feel we deserve to be loved. Right? I know how it feels to feel unloved for many years.

Or the dedicated news media producer whose commitment to getting the story resulted in a 60-pound weight gain thanks to having no down time to eat properly or exercise. These individuals are not exceptions. Every industry is filled with them, and the costs, to both employees and their companies, is enormous.

We spend a shocking 43 percent of our day doing things without thinking about them. That means that almost half of our actions aren’t conscious choices, but the result of our non-conscious mind nudging our body to act along learned behaviors. How we respond to the people around us; the way we conduct ourselves in a meeting; what we buy; when and how we exercise, eat, and drink - a truly remarkable number of things we do every day, regardless of their complexity, operate outside of our awareness.

Arguments help us solve problems, uncover new ideas we might not have considered, and nudge our disagreements toward mutual understanding. A good argument, made in good faith, has intrinsic value—and can also simply be fun.

What do you do when you're faced with a big decision? If you're like most people, you probably make a pro and con list, spend a lot of time obsessing about decisions that didn't work out, get caught in analysis paralysis, endlessly seek other people's opinions to find just that little bit of extra information that might make you sure, and finally go with your gut.

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.

Simple and easy to implement
Well written, concise and easy to implement tips for actually making actionable changes in your life! Wish I read this book first in my personal development journey… it would have made all the books I’ve read so far so much for effective! Also, love hearing the author read it - Nick has a calming and soothing voice. Definitely recommend!!
