I took a job as a delivery driver so I could listen to audio books all day. I think I've been through at least 20 in the few months I've been there.
I often need to listen again, especially if they're complex. And the best of them I'll have to buy the paperback at some point

My goal is to read 5 books a month. Mostly about Finance, Money and Bitcoin, of course.
However, I like to have at least one book focusing on literature and one book about self-growth.

I enjoy reading in the mornings to figure out whatever I am curious about. ( about 2 hours / day )

I start listening books. Is more easier for me before I go to sleep. Also my eyes at this age (50+) start failing on small text and lose concentration.
But yes, I read almost every day like 1-2h/day.
I stopped watching TV long time ago. I don't even have a TV at home.

There is a fun read that might interest you: The cure of imperfect eyesight by Mr.Bates.
It is more like understanding how our eyesight works and focusing on how to relax the eyes. It seems the main reason causing eye malfunction is eye strain. 👀

That book is a classic. Does it work?

I am halfway through the book; I learned the cause of my eyesight problems is eye strain; Glasses do not solve this problem and only worsen the situation. The better solution is learning how to relax the eyes effortlessly.
One of the reasons that intrigued me to read this book is googling around Mr.Bates mostly negative views, but the fact that Aldous Huxley wrote a book about it, I guess it must be something interesting behind...

Indeed, most of my eyes problems are from staying long time in front of PC (in the last 10+ years reading about BTC).
But some years ago I start taking long breaks, mostly in summer until autumn, doing mountain hikings and working on my citadel.
Thanks, I will take a look.

Np. Fun fact, I wouldn't have guessed you are 50+, as you seem quite creative and full of energy! Curious about your other health hacks besides drinking raw milk 🤔
I have also found a fascinating book: The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest.

Just live a normal simple life, far from big cities and stress.
Stress is one of the biggest threat to human health.
My life motto is: smile, tomorrow will be worse.
Every day laugh at least once. A day that you didn't laugh is a lost day in your life.
I eat almost anything is comestible and have good taste, in regular quantities, without excess. Restricting some food from your diet, because x and y said something that "is not good for your health", I think is stupid. Eat whatever you like and make you feel good.
My "secret" of being healthy? Never listen the "doctors", never go to a hospital or medic. If I feel bad, I just relax, sleep well and think what I did/eat previous days. For each "bad feeling" there's a natural cure treatment, a plant or something.
No fucking pharma pills!
Also a lot of walks into fresh air and nature. My every morning exercise is to walk some few km into a mountain path, early in the morning, when all creatures are waking up.
Also I do long hiking walks. Living in a high mountain area is an advantage. Many mountain people live longer...

I agree! I feel like the "hacks" to live a healthy life are living close to nature, from food to living, stay away from lab-made products. Do things you enjoy every day and have a few like-minded people to hang out with.
It seems that life can be so simple, yet sometimes I wonder why most people are doing the complete opposite 😂

I dispise books thanks to public school. They forced me to read them when i was there and even when i was not in school. They called it "home work". So i dont read books since i got out

Caveat is that audio book listening probably accounts for 25 to 50 percent of my reading lately.
