Why reading books is important?


There can be various aspects to this question. However, I will stick to a few points to convey to your mind why reading is an important exercise. Human is social being and to understand the world we need to learn new information constantly. 

The learning must be slow and fast. No one can learn all the information available out there at once. For Humans to learn and that too authentic, a companion/teacher is required. Books can be trustworthy teachers in our lives.

As we know, the human brain is a unique engineering tool. We can see things and make a judgment about them. We can hear the voice and make a particular opinion about it. We can walk on the ground and make an analogy of how it’s different from other parts of the world.

We continuously improvise our ideas as we get updated information passing through our heads. This trait is unique and makes us better than Chimpanzee.

Our minds require a continuous flow of information, and this information can be about anything, even the color of clothes. Reading books help us access information. Hence, the essence remains the same as existed centuries back that books provide information. Moreover, reading helps us improve our cognitive thinking process. 

Based on the previous embedded knowledge in the head, we can easily judge the new information coming from reading. Books are like humans; you can accept them for their resourcefulness or disagree with them because of their narrow worldview.


Following are reasons one need to pursue reading books in everyday life:

  • It helps broaden the human perspective.
  • Helps human change its old patriarch views about the world.
  • Helps update knowledge according to contemporary world geo-economics.
  • Books provide a better company when you are alone.
  • Books can teach you so much in less time.
  • Books are a loyal friend to Humanity.
  • Gives you the freedom to disagree with them and challenge them.
  • Offers you a solution to big and often stigmatized questions.


My favorite quote about reading books

“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.” – Charles W. Eliot

What is a Wasteman Loop & How to avoid it?

 Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science What is a wasteman Loop? For the past few days, I have been doing a lot of social media surfacing without realizing the effects of it on my productive life. I was so indulged in social media scrolling, liking, and sharing weird cat posts that I never realized I was wasting more than 4 hours per day of my precious life. Being into some business where there is no return value or profit is what I call a wasteman loop. Every once in a while I return to this wasteman life and I have to push myself again to keep focused on the main objectives in life. This on and off productivity is what I call the loop. I’m constantly worried about two things to happen in my life, first, when I start wasting my time on social media or any other stuff that adds zero value to my life, second, the continuous fight with consistency to not return to wasteman life and still end up becoming the wasteman I loathe. How does it affect your productivity? Being a wasteman has...

Become Productive by managing your Focus

 Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science What it’s about? Human has a limited scope of focus. It can only do one thing at a time effectively. The more the focus is distributed on things, the less effective would be the productive results. Neuro-scientifically, it is not suggested for any human to do multi-tasking like browsing more than one topic on Internet as it would only be proven fatal to human attention, and the results won’t be satisfactory. Nothing better is achieved in distributing focus onto so many things at a single time. Why manage your focus? Focus is what makes our learning effective. When we start prioritizing time management, we often ignore the fact that if time is not well spent by following the proper standard operational procedures, the whole effort would be subsumed as zero. Time management must be coordinated with the management of focus. When we take only one target at a time and give our whole attention to it, the ultimate breakthrough takes place. Whenever ...

Focus out will bring zero Outcome

  Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science To achieve big goals in life, one needs to have proper set goals to work on. It is important to highlight the urgent set targets on the wish-list to convince your cognitive thought process about the important goal that needs your urgent attention. Of course, the other stuff will also need your time and energy, but the urgent work that needs to be done this evening requires the time you’re having right now. If you can’t sacrifice your urgent time for urgent work, it would be really hard to get things done that have an impact on your life. Always create a focused strategy for important tasks. Don’t rush towards unnecessary clutter. It can wait, but the urgent assignment's due time won’t. So you need to be strategic and figurative all the time. When you are good at the management of micro-level challenges, your chances to succeed in the long run become too certain. It is also a real-life’s tragedy that everything we learn outside our real job s...
