Welcome to another captivating episode of the Define Success Podcast, hosted by Matt Lupi. Today, we have an extraordinary guest for all the bookworms out there: Nicholas Hutchison, the Founder of Book Thinkers. Nick is not just an ordinary reader; he's a prolific one, with a track record of reviewing hundreds of books, and yes, that's no exaggeration. He takes the knowledge he gains from these books to create exceptional content that inspires others. But the excitement doesn't stop there; Nick has released his own book, "Rise of the Reader," hitting the shelves on November 1, 2023. This book is a deep dive into mastering your reading habits and, more importantly, how to apply the knowledge you gain from books. As we all know, reading is a fundamental aspect of achieving success, and having Nick here today is a true privilege.
As we delve into Nick's journey, he shares what initially ignited his passion for reading and led him to establish Book Thinkers. Nick's voracious reading habit is quite remarkable, and he offers valuable insights into how he manages to read at such an extraordinary pace while also providing guidance for those who often struggle to complete a book.
Nick also takes a moment to reveal his top 5 personal development book recommendations. These books hold a special place in his heart and have significantly influenced his journey.
In one of his thought-provoking videos, Nick raised a critical question about popular personal development books like "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People." While many had heard of it, few could recall its seven habits. He explores why people often struggle to retain and apply the knowledge they gain from reading, shedding light on a common challenge for avid readers.
The spotlight then shifts to his upcoming book, "Rise of the Reader." Nick gives us a glimpse of what readers can expect from this highly anticipated release and how it will empower them to enhance their reading habits and, more importantly, to apply the knowledge they acquire.
Success for "Rise of the Reader" is not just about book sales; Nick shares his vision for the impact he hopes to create and the goals he aims to achieve with his book.
Beyond reading and personal development, we learn that Nick has a passion for travel. He discusses how this passion has enriched his life and possibly contributed to his success, sharing some of his memorable travel experiences.
In a thought-provoking segment, Nick provides his personal definition of success and the metrics or principles he uses to gauge his own journey.
And, as is tradition on the Define Success Podcast, Nick shares a figure who inspires him deeply and explains why this individual has had such a profound influence on his life and work.
As we near the end of our conversation, Nick leaves our audience with a single, powerful piece of advice that they can implement in their own quests to define and achieve success. Thank you, Nick, for gracing us with your wisdom, and we eagerly await the release of "Rise of the Reader" to inspire countless readers worldwide. Until next time, dear listeners, keep forging your unique path to success, stay motivated, and never stop reaching for your goals.
