This is why you should re-read that book
Reading a book takes a lot of discipline. On this post ill be sharing 5 reasons i think you should re-read that book you just read. I hope to convince you . A great number of people struggle with finishing a book a month, not because its not doable but because there are so many excuses given which has deprived them from completing the book, however when we successfully read a book for most people they dump the book and add it to their record of read books and this happens especially when one is working towards a goal instead of creating systems that become a habit.
Here’s where i talked on forming my reading culture How I formed the culture of reading ||10 Book I read in 2022
I’ve seen a lot of people allover social media and in my space who have a reading goal or plan, some weekly, monthly or for the whole year don’t get me wrong I’m all for that too but the possibly of rushing over a book in other to finish your reading plan without fully taking home the message of the author is very high.
I’ve come to understand in my journey of book reading that we read books based on the present need we are working on. for example; if you are trying to create a better financial life or create wealth its better to read financial books than to read books dealing on love or socializing with people, that’s why they are called self help books they assist in personal development.
So I’d advise you to read books relating to things you want to achieve or work on in your life that’s the best way to read and enjoy the process. When you read a book that speaks to you concerning what you are working on your self at the moment, often times we read to finish the book on time and go onto other books but actually to practicalize what we’ve read becomes a little bit difficult, that’s why I chose to share these tips here are 5 tips that can convince you to reread that book you just read.
5 Reasons why you should read a book twice
1. You better understand the message of the author:
When you read a book more than once, it helps you understand better the message the author is trying to pass unto the audience or his readers, you’d even discover that there where subtle points that were neglected while you were reading the book. When I read books on my gadgets or the hardcopy book, I usually use highlighters or pencils to underline key points with the hope that when I read through the book again I can easily take note of the points highlighted and often and on I end up highlighting even more paragraphs or lines as I read ahead. At this point, you are not just reading to hear the author’s thoughts, but you are reading to understand what the author has said and is saying.
2. The principles become better personalized:
When you have a better understanding of a thing, you’d know how to use it better. That’s a simple rule: having understood the message of the author which resonates with you, you will begin to weave it into your day-to-day practices and intentionally follow the principles stated out. You could make a daily or weekly plan on principles you’ll work by. example, read a chapter a day put it to test the next day and you’d end up making it a habit.
3. You discover key points you missed:
If you’re a person with good attention to detail, trust me, you’ll still miss some things out. The key points missed are not like words that you skipped while reading or sentences you didn’t take note of; it’s more about theories, formed beliefs that probably weren’t digested in the cause of trying to finish the book. Sometimes, I get to find more key points to highlight. It just like when someone says something to you and you have to process the thought to know how to act or react this can also be used when you read theories in other to better understand what they are pointing at.
4. You relive the moments:
Reading a book a second time actually makes you relive the moment and even have better pictorial imaginations of what the book creates in your mind when you read it, I don’t know if I’m the only one that laughs to myself when I’m reading, well I think we all do. if its a novel it becomes more exciting and fun, if its a self help book it becomes more interesting.
5. You read at your pace:
You can now take your time without being in a hurry to finish. You get to read at your own pace without having a deadline on when to finish reading this is not to counter the idea of having a reading plan but more of to go back through the authors thought process.
