Part 6/8:
To combat the cycle of accumulation and foster genuine reading engagement, it’s essential to prioritize the books we already own. One effective strategy is to impose a temporary moratorium on book purchases. Consider keeping a list of titles that interest you for future reading, allowing yourself to indulge in new acquisitions only after you’ve thoroughly engaged with several existing books.
Another critical approach involves shifting your focus from the end goal of finishing a book to simply enjoying the act of reading. By concentrating on the present moment and dedicating time to engage with a book without the pressure of completion, you can unlock a more gratifying reading experience.
