[David Woodland @davidsven]

We pay my oldest $1 every time he reads a book. We’re talking 160 page chapter books. 😂

I’m out $120 this year and he thinks he’s ripping me off. Best investment ever.

I recently discussed #HowToBeAnAntiracist with @BreneBrown who has spent her career revealing the power of vulnerability and empathy, which we need in this moment to be antiracist and build an antiracist society. This is a conversation I won't forget. https://t.co/ef3dXOnnij

[Campfire @get_campfire]

We started a discussion on our team around the book, "How to Be an Antiracist," by Ibram X. Kendi. The book has challenged us in unexpected ways.

Nobody focuses on one idea every minute. Good books refocus the mind."

How have you built a habit of reading?

Warren Buffet spends 80% of his working hours reading. Unfortunately, not everyone has that luxury.

@JamesClear, as usual, gives some practical tips on building a system for reading that produces real results.

@MrJamesNestor Congrats. Lots of work on an essential topic.

@twcat2010 We agree. Reading great books and thinking critically are as important as ever.
