Reading isn't simply about absorbing information-it's about transformation. Most of us stop developing our reading abilities around sixth grade, creating an invisible ceiling that limits our intellectual growth. What if I told you that the difference between merely passing your eyes over text and truly understanding it is the difference between hearing music and being moved by it? The ability to read deeply is perhaps the most undervalued skill in our information-saturated world, yet it holds the key to unlocking wisdom that can change your life. When Warren Buffett was asked about the secret to his success, he pointed to a book on his shelf-Mortimer Adler's "How to Read a Book." This unexpected bestseller has sold over a million copies and been translated into more than a dozen languages because it addresses a paradox we all face: we know how to read, but few of us know how to read well.
