Everyone has a reason to read one book rather than another, but what about the motivations for those reasons? What are those, and why do we have them?

why do you read?

@sohamdeshmukh5948 Месяц назад

I read books to gain knowledge about myself and the external world. Yeah! Knowledge gain is my motivation.

@IdeasInHat Месяц назад

@@sohamdeshmukh5948 so you likely read due to an openness to experience, which is definitely a motivator for me as well!

@sohamdeshmukh5948 Месяц назад

@@IdeasInHat yes! You describe it very well.😄

My motivations for reading: 1. A desire to be as knowledgeable and informed as possible as I believe ignorance is NOT bliss (well, sometimes I wish I didn’t know certain things, but overall, I’m glad to learn what I’ve learned). 2. Reading has allowed me to see some things I was ignorant of about myself, the world, etc. 3. In a world that’s black and white, reading helps me remember to be a critical thinker. 4. It just feels good to read. There’s an emotional satisfaction it brings. ©️ Bennett Yancey 2024

Interesting topic! I believe my main motivation is sheer curiosity. About the world, about the "other", about myself...

The amount of things which i have learnt from reading articles,books is unmatched. i want to push my self to end of whats instore in subjects which i love . i like how reading makes me feel dumb.

I read both non-fiction and fiction. I read fiction both fantasy and sci-fi for entertainment and lessons around how to live with virtue or just to so that I can \view things from different perspectives. I read non-fiction to find information I can apply to get better results in areas of life I deem important. Like health, wealth and relationships. I have not read any biographies or history books yet, but is something I will do. Now it is mostly fantasy/sci-fi, self development books and philosophy.

Biographies are pretty amazing, imo. Andrew Roberts and Walter Isaacson are good starts.

I read cuz when i read i forget how stupid i am! (Ive got a question:How many hours a week do you actually read on avg ofc?)

@IdeasInHat Месяц назад

I honestly don't know. I do a lot of things, so sometimes it's zero. But, I try to read at least 2 books a month (usually nonfiction)

@ananyasaikia6784 Месяц назад

You seem to be interested in economics. Have you read the one titled " veblen: the making of an economist who unmade economics" by a sociologist named Charles Camic?

@IdeasInHat Месяц назад

I haven't. But it sounds familiar. I will check it out.

@s.chakraborty5788 24 дня назад

Already subscribed your channel for such exciting book recommendations and valuable opinions. I read everyday but due to my slow reading speed, it takes much time than others to finish a book. What would you advice? Plus, do you do speed read or read slowly with comprehension? Pls tell me honestly!!!

@IdeasInHat 24 дня назад

@@s.chakraborty5788 I am a slow reader as well. And to be honest, when I have done book clubs with others, I noticed others were not as good at remembering the nuanced points of argument made by authors.

@IdeasInHat 24 дня назад

@@s.chakraborty5788 reading slow is probably evidence of you actually reading and understanding.

@s.chakraborty5788 24 дня назад

@@IdeasInHat Thank you so much for answering my query. Also, kindly tell me What should my approach to remember the arguments of authors? I write on the margins nevertheless fruitless exercise. And, how to read fiction to squeeze out most of it apart from entertainment?

@IdeasInHat 24 дня назад

@@s.chakraborty5788 Reading slowly is the answer to your question. If you read slowly you will digest the entirety of arguments! And I don't read enough fiction lol. I am a fiction noob.

I read for a mixture of reasons. Im a naturally curious person and like to learn about the world i live in. I also like to know the facts (our as accurate of information as you can get) of the stuff that goes on in the world around me (like politics and history etc..). I also like knowing the different sides to things so i can understand people, that way even if i dont agree with them i can at the very least try to be tolerant and/or agree to disagree. I guess in general i like to be open ninded and mindful.

@IdeasInHat Месяц назад

Those are good reasons. I feel like when I was newer to reading I read more because I was anxious about my lack of knowing stuff. But now, it is definitely more for exploration and curiosity.

@bunnygirlerika9489 Месяц назад

@IdeasInHat we can't know everything, but we can try to learn as much as we can.
