Why do we buy books but dont read them

·11 min·1 clip

When you start a book, you create the world you're reading about in your own head, like painting on a blank canvas for the first time.

The host explores why people buy more books than they read, examining psychological factors like dopamine hits from purchasing, modern distractions from phones and social media, and personal time constraints. He shares his own struggles with unread books and offers practical solutions including audiobooks during commutes, deleting social media distractions, joining book clubs, and creating bedtime reading routines.
