Step #2: Go easy on yourself

If you want to start reading books and keep at it, then you have to create a simple plan that you can follow through with while picking up as many benefits as you can as quickly as possible.

The focus question, however, should be “How do I make this as easy as possible for myself?”

Suggestion: Start with self-help nonfiction. With nonfiction, you can quickly earn brain rewards for the time and energy spent working on a real problem.
