In this episode, I talk about:

  • How digital distractions have turned even the most avid readers into casual readers
  • What deep reading is and how it can boost your executive attention by training your brain to concentrate for long periods of time
  • The paradox of requiring focus to engage in deep reading, in order to improve your overall capacity for focus
  • The benefits of deep reading for other cognitive functions and its role in the development of key intellectual and emotional skills
  • Why what you read is less important than how you’re reading it
  • How the offline reading experience is different to the online reading experience, and why skim reading is causing you to develop cognitive impatience
  • The possible impact on your personal and/or professional life from failing to maintain an ability to read longer, denser, or more difficult texts
  • Whether you can engage in deep reading using e-readers such as the Kindle, and the effect of such devices on your ability to comprehend and retain what you read
  • Practical steps you can take to cultivate a deep reading habit and restore your attention
