Trying to Read More Made Me Miserable—Here’s How I Read More Joyfully

When does trying to 'read more' books become a problem? Is counting books really the best way to measure reading success? In this video, I share my personal journey from obsessing over reading more books to feeling overwhelmed—and how I found joy again by embracing slow reading and mindful reading. If you've ever felt pressured by reading goals, book counts, or the endless TBR pile, this video is for you! 📌 Timestamps: 0:00 How I got overwhelmed 7:33 Existential dread and wanting to read all the books 12:43 Reading vs finishing books 14:10 Slow reading and reading mindfully 15:59 How I read more joyfully and how I measure reading success 18:40 The Age of Book Devouring 📚 Mentioned in This Video: ▶ Four Thousand Weeks & Meditations for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman ▶ David Bowie on book collecting & existential dread: “I'm a real self-educated kind of guy. I read voraciously. Every book I ever bought, I have. I can't throw it away. It's physically impossible to leave my hand! Some of them are in warehouses. I've got a library that I keep the ones I really really like. I look around my library some nights and I do these terrible things to myself--I count up the books and think, how long I might have to live and think, 'F@#%k, I can't read two-thirds of these books.' It overwhelms me with sadness." --David Bowie, quoted in the Daily Beast in a 2002 interview with Bob Guccione, Jr. ▶ Research on reading habits: Booktalk Dilemmas (Katarina Eriksson, Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research) http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00313830220... ▶ Why tracking everything (like step counts & books read) can make us unhappy: Duke University Study https://www.fuqua.duke.edu/duke-fuqua... 🔖 Topics Covered: Reading success, reading goals, slow reading, mindful reading, book habits, reading more vs. reading better, booktube, bookish discussions, intentional living, reading anxiety, and the joy of books.
