I'mWhat if the real problem isn’t that we “don’t have time” to read… but that we’ve quietly given our lives over to screens?

In this video, I explore what actually happens when you begin replacing television, streaming, and endless scrolling with books. Not in theory. In real life.

Here's my video about the latest book club pick at the Lone Star Book Club (one of the book clubs I host):

We’ll talk about:

- How much time the average person spends watching TV

- How many books that same time could translate into every year

- Why reading changes the texture of your daily life

- The difference between passive entertainment and active engagement

- Attention span, imagination, focus, and memory

- What happens emotionally and intellectually when books become part of your everyday routine

Reading doesn’t just give you information. Over time, it reshapes the way you think, the way you speak, and even the way you experience the world.

If you’ve been struggling to focus…

If you feel mentally scattered…

If you miss the version of yourself that used to feel curious and alive…

It’s not too late.
