Re-reading books is definitely highly underrated.
There are many books where each re-read, opens up profound new meaning. This is especially true after you gain new life experiences and revisit the journey.
Sometimes upon rereads I realized I didn't truly "get it" 💡 before
Too many people read books, but do nothing.
Read enough to get the inspiration. Then go do.
Try, build, experiment, fail, retry, rinse and repeat. If you get stuck on something granular or need a spark then go target some books.
Read with intention, not for procrastination.

Despite the turbulence in the broader economy, 2022 was one of the most jampacked and mindblowing years in science, tech, and medicine.
Top breakthroughs from this year that are poised to transform industries and our understanding of humanity for 2023 and beyond :
8/ Crypto going green
Crypto uses massive amounts of electricity. E.g., BTC consumes more energy than entire countries, amounts that can emit megatons of CO2.
ETH transitioned to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism that eliminates the need for high computational power
9/ First in human transplant of engineered organ
Surgeons transplanted a genetically altered pig heart into a human. Though early days for the technology, it provides a view into a future with limitless organ supply for disease or devastating emergencies

Reflecting back on the holidays this year vs. last year, the Fed in some ways strengthened innovation.
Because of higher interest rates /risk-off macro, instead of showing our family fake internet money and monkey JPEGs, we got groundbreaking AI tools democratized for everyone.
Reading the tenth book or long form on the same topic is just delaying actually doing or building the thing.
Not only is pure "# of books" read a poor indicator of your growth, but also it can give you info paralysis and lead to rabbit holes that may not be helpful to your goal
