Learning Beyond Physical Books

-   When I was younger, I knew I didn't enjoy reading.

   -   But, I did like learning.

   -   When I was 13, I discovered I could learn on YouTube.

       -   This changed everything.

       -   I spent endless hours learning from tutorials.

       -   I learned all sorts of things.

           -   Card magic.

           -   Parkour.

           -   Video editing / visual effects.

-   As I grew older and became more interested in philosophy,

   -   Especially Stoic philosophy,

   -   I finally found an interest in books.

       -   A lot of these ideas were written,

       -   So I started reading.

       -   But over time, I realized I needed a lot of motivation to sit down and read a book.

-   So, as my motivation to sit down and read faded,

   -   I discovered audiobooks.

       -   And ever since then,

       -   Reading (or listening) has become effortless.

   -   I learn every single day by listening for a few hours.

       -   Non-fiction audiobooks are amazing.

       -   But I went beyond.

       -   I also listen to hours of valuable content from YouTube.

       -   And now, I've even gone through the hassle of converting courses I've bought Into audiobooks.

           -   This way I can consume valuable courses several times.

-   Now, learning feels effortless.

   -   So I don't feel guilty for not sitting down and reading,

   -   Instead, I just put on my headphones and I can "read" at any time.

   -   The only disadvantage is some people will ask, "Did you read this book?"

       -   And when you say "yes," they'll say, "It doesn't count if you listened to the audiobook."

       -   🤦 (face palm)
