00:02 I have a very, very helpful tip

00:05 for all the readers out there.

00:06 I learned this from Brother Adam Neri

00:09 with the Brotherhood of Hope when I was in college.

00:10 I call it the reading rule of five.

00:13 The idea is to stay well read by just having

00:16 kind of like a revolving door of books at all times.

00:19 So the first book you should always be reading is

00:21 the Bible.

00:22 Up next, you have a spiritual book

00:23 that you're reading through to help you

00:25 obviously grow in your spiritual life.

00:26 Third is a book to just educate yourself on something

00:29 so that'll be nonfiction for most people.

00:31 Fourth was a book for entertainment

00:33 which would be fiction for most.

00:34 And lastly, since we're in college,

00:36 the fifth book was usually a book for class.

00:39 Now, since I am no longer in college,

00:41 I usually swap this in for a book club book

00:44 or just another nonfiction or fiction book

00:46 that I've really been wanting to read.

00:47 For a lot of times since I'm busy, I will do an audio book.

00:50 Now, obviously five books at one time is a lot

00:53 so you can definitely tailor this

00:55 and tweak it to fit your own lifestyle.

00:57 If you found this helpful, like, share, and save.
