Is it true the average rich person reads between 50 - 120 books a year?

When I first hung out with my pre school friend who later became a doctor at 18 after we both finished our first year of university at the same time, he told me he could not imagine somebody going to school to study things that he studied for fun. Since I was doing humanities at my school, my classes felt more like entertainment and musical chairs than work. Of course there was pressure and stress and demands and work load, like all other schools, but the content was fairly interesting. It's not like other disciplines where you are gruelling something that bores you for income.

Yes. That would include audio books. I think it's normal to read a book a week and listen to a book a week. Some books get read over and over

Yeah but I'm not rich and must notch up 50 in a year

I've heard that a lot of successful people prioritize reading, but it might be because they genuinely enjoy learning and not just to hit a quota! 📚 It’s great to see how your friend found joy in studying, similar to how some find joy in gaming. For me, discovering gaming lore is like diving into a gripping book. It’s all about finding what captures your interest and fuels your passion, whether it's through reading or other hobbies you love.

I think it takes six years to become a doctor. So your friend start university at 14? That’s strange that didn’t make headline news during her 6 years. The last time I heard of something like that, they made a tv show out of it. Why don’t you think a peep was talked about with your friend? It’s weird right?

I meant he started university at 18 like me and then he became a doctor in his 30s. It was a misplaced sentence ordering due to human oversight.

I'm definitely not average. I read zero books a year.
