Reading is also as much about the tangents of thoughts that arise in your own mind as it is about whatever the writer is trying to tell you, and that's where the brain does the real work of sharpening itself. If you were to read for 20 minutes, or about 15 pages of a book, every day, then by the end of the year, you'd have completed between 15 to 20 books. In my experience, it isn't an exaggeration to say that a single book at the right time can completely change your life. With just a 20-minute commitment, you're giving yourself up to 20 opportunities a year to do so.

We often use genius to imply someone was born great. Natural talent exists, but most people we consider geniuses still worked daily and put in considerable effort. Reflecting for 10 minutes, reading for 20, and focusing for 30 minutes a day can help you get smarter at anything - even if you weren't born brilliant.
