Can't read books because you're busy working? On the contrary, it is precisely because you are working that you can read. An author who has changed his life and career, now holding nine titles, introduces 'reading techniques for workers' based on the idea that reading business books changes the way you work.
You don't need to read a whole book at once. Just read for 15 minutes a day and continue. Find what you need in 15 minutes, then try it out, take action, and make it a habit. The value of reading is determined not by the amount you read, but by how much it turns into action.
15 minutes a day is enough. This book doesn't promote 'strenuous reading.' It introduces a 15-minute reading technique that even busy people can continue. You read, so your efficiency increases. You read, so time is created. I, who once had no choice but to achieve results by working late, now leave work at 5 PM. The foundation is the accumulation of reading and practice. Why not start 15 minutes of reading today?
