A while ago, I was given the gift of this bestseller book, Zero to One by Peter Thiel. The unopened book was sitting on my shelf for too long, before I decided recently to dive into its knowledge.

I needed to switch off from my mobile phone, laptop and tablet, so this book was a perfect escape.

I love learning from the best and gaining fresh perspectives on business and self-development.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from the book but I just knew I’d find a golden nugget or two to help me with my own business and self-progression.

I wanted to try a different approach to reading the book – which was, reading out loud, a chapter at a time. It might sound silly to do this, but I found this approach to reading quite captivating.

I found myself taking more time to simmer and savour the learning from each page. I’d often read out loud paragraphs twice, like I was reiterating the message.

It’s not a book reading approach I will use all the time, but I just felt like “shaking things up a little bit” and I enjoyed the process immensely.

Obviously, I was at home alone reading out loud, pretending to be a great teacher, helping others learn.

The moral of the story is, “you don’t need to do things as you’ve always done“. Try a new approach; a different and more intriguing way to daily activities.

Keep the brain sharp and the body “on its toes“.

Be creative in your doing and enjoy the journey – we know that’s the most important part.
