1
If you read 10 pages every single day, after one whole year, that is 3,650 pages, which is roughly 12 books.
2
Now think about that for a second.
3
Every single story you read, every idea you absorb, your brain treats it like a real experience.
4
Now reading doesn't just give you information, it changes the way your brain works.
5
The greatest minds that ever walked the earth, their whole life experience, their whole mindset and philosophies are condensed into a single book that you can finish in one week.
6
Now think about how amazing and life-changing that is.
7
In this video, I will show you how reading literally rewires your mind
8
and why you need to either get started or read a ton more.
9
Trust me, it is so worth it.
10
Now to train yourself to be able to read for longer periods of time, you need to manage your dopamine levels.
11
This means no scrolling your phone and checking notifications while watching this video, no reading the recommended videos on the side.
12
Just put this video on full screen, focus on this video and this video only, and let's get into it.
13
Oh yeah, one more thing before we get started.
14
If you're getting into reading or you're already a confirmed reader, I write a newsletter twice a week read by 4,000 plus readers.
15
It's free.
16
Subscribe if you're interested.
17
Link below.
18
And I'll talk more about that later.
19
Now part number one, reading is not information.
20
Reading isn't about learning facts.
21
Anybody can learn facts.
22
Reading is actually just about living in other experience.
23
It is about becoming someone else for just a moment.
24
You see, over the past five years, I've read over 150 books.
25
And in a way, every single one of those books shaped the way that I think today.
26
A part of me is in every book that I've read.
27
So for example, I read the book Fight Club and that was for detachment.
28
I read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, which is stoicism.
29
For the business aspect, I read all of Alex Ramosi's books.
30
For Habits, I read Atomic Habits.
31
For Mastery and Changing the Way I Think, I read Mastery by Robert Greene.
32
To develop the business mindset, I read Shoe Dog, which is the Memoir of Nike by Phil Knight.
33
Every single book has a purpose.
34
Every book changes you and shapes you in a certain way.
35
Now in the self-improving space, there are thousands of books.
36
There are so many books that you couldn't even count.
37
And every single one of these books has a story.
38
It has a life lesson.
39
It has an experience that is condensed.
40
Now a fun fact is that your brain actually activates the same exact regions when it is reading versus experiencing.
41
So when you're actually living experience, certain areas are activated in your brain.
42
But when you are reading about experiences, those same areas are activated.
43
Now by tapping into the skill of reading, you can learn from other people's mistakes, you can copy the success of people you look up to and you can build that for yourself.
44
So you can just look and study any inspiring, successful person who is out there and you can just be like, I want this success for myself.
45
And if they can do it, then why can't I?
46
If you can just look at somebody who has the success that you want and you can read about them, study their stories, study how far they've come, then you will get there.
47
You see, if you fake bravery for long enough, you will be brave.
48
And that is actually the fake it till you make it mindset that is also prevalent in reading books.
49
You see, stories trigger emotion, they trigger empathy, fear and desire.
50
They don't just work on logic and because they tap into very deep emotions, these stories that you read, the people, the authors that you read, they leave an imprint on your mind.
51
They shape the person that you are from a very deep identity level.
52
You see, reading isn't just input, it is experience without consequences.
53
Now if you watch these videos that help you grow, then you are already putting space between you and the rest of the world.
54
You are already choosing and taking the initiative to become the top 1%.
55
The top 1% who have the dream life, who have the success, who are exactly where they wanna be
56
and who have the discipline and the consistency to live a very, very good life.
57
Now just by watching these videos, you are already going to reach a level of success that most people never even see.
58
And that is the power of consuming the right content.
59
Whether that's books, whether that's videos like these, consuming the type of content that aligns with your goals is gonna get you to your goals.
60
Now part number two, reading physically rewires your brain.
61
You see reading literally changes your brain structure.
62
Now there's a quote that I like and it goes like this.
63
Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers.
64
Now reading just simply strengthens focus in a dopamine fragmented world.
65
And also if you like these videos, if you like the information and experience based content that I make on this channel, then make sure to leave a subscribe to see more of these videos.
66
You see reading builds neural connections tied to memory and comprehension.
67
It increases empathy by forcing you into other perspectives.
68
You see regular readers develop deeper and slower thinking.
69
And there's another quote, it goes like this.
70
Scrolling trains reaction and reading trains reflection.
71
You see a lot of us want to change habits.
72
We want to change ways of life.
73
We want to develop the discipline and the consistency that is going to lead to the results.
74
That is going to lead to being able to take the daily steps to get to where we want to be.
75
Now the only problem with that, even though that's amazing, is if your identity conflicts with your outcome.
76
Conflicts with the person you want to be and the life you want to live, then it's going to be hard.
77
You can never outwork your identity.
78
So think about what better way to make fundamental change than to change the person behind the habits.
79
It's the person behind the routines, the person who is doing the things.
80
And that comes with changing identity.
81
And reading is just one of the biggest things that changes your identity over time.
82
It's not gonna change your identity in a couple of weeks or maybe even months, but if you read for one year, if you read 12 books a year, which is 10 pages a day,
83
then you will see your identity start to shift.
84
You will start to just think differently and be a different person and, you know, just think from a different perspective. And
85
that takes me to part number three the future you you
86
see the past version of myself would be shocked at all the books
87
that I've read
88
but I'm even way more thankful to the past version of myself who decided to pick up
89
that first book reading has changed my life the reason why
90
I've been able to you know grow my youtube channel to 80,000 plus subscribers
91
and talk about self improvement and talk about discipline
92
and mindsets is you know partly due to reading in fact it is enlarged due to reading, the one habit, the one skill, the one identity change that has changed my whole life.
93
I am so grateful that I picked up my first book when I did, because it really changed my life.
94
You see, just think about 20 pages a day.
95
It's not that much, right?
96
20 pages a day is something you could do every day.
97
It might take 30 minutes, it might take an hour, but we all have time to spare.
98
Now, 20 pages a day is 7,300 pages a year, and that is 24 books.
99
Imagine how much of a different person you would be if you read 24 books in one year.
100
You see, every single book subtly reshapes how you think.
101
It changes the way you see things and the way you decide.
102
Now this is something you won't notice daily but after months of reading you will notice these 1% changes,
103
these 1% improvements in your character start to collect and come together and give you the final result.
104
You see reading is an identity shift.
105
It is not a habit.
106
Now if we talk about the one habit that has changed my life in so many ways it's not meditating.
107
I mean meditating is great, journaling is great, exercising is great and doing all these things they're amazing
108
but And reading for some reason has changed my life the most.
109
Now a final quote to leave you with, reading gives us some place to go when we have to stay where we are.
110
If you're ready to change your life, if you're ready to start reading and start picking up the habit
111
that is going to shift your identity at the deepest level, then check out my newsletter where I give you the tools to make meaningful change in your life.

你能學到什麼
這段影片不僅能幫你提升英語聽力理解能力，還能讓你掌握用英語清晰表達觀點的技巧。通過模仿影片中的口語節奏，你能學會如何自然地闡述閱讀的好處，這對雅思口語練習非常有幫助。此外，你還能學會用簡潔的語言總結書籍內容，輕鬆應對日常交流或考試中的相關話題。
注意這些發音現象
影片中存在不少連讀和弱讀現象，比如“every single day”中“every”和“single”的連讀，以及“that is”中“that”的弱讀。另外，“it is so worth it”中的“it is”會縮讀成“it's”，這些都是 native speaker 常用的表達習慣。多留意這些細節，能讓你的口語更地道。
像母語者一樣表達
想要模仿影片 speaker 的語氣和重音，關鍵是抓住他的情感變化。比如說到“reading changes your brain”時，“changes”和“brain”要重讀，突出閱讀的影響力。練習時可以使用shadowing site，跟著音訊逐句跟讀，注意節奏和停頓。此外，“fake it till you make it”這種短語要連讀，並且加重“fake”和“make”的發音，這樣才能傳達出堅定的態度。堅持用shadowspeak的方式練習，你的口語會越來越流暢。
記住，閱讀能改變大腦，而口語練習也需要日積月累。每天花10分鐘用shadowspeaks方法跟讀，你會發現自己的發音和表達能力都在悄悄提升。趕緊行動起來吧！
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | I've read · they've come · has changed |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | pages, which is · Aurelius, which is · Dog, which is |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | are condensed · is condensed · are activated |
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
