如何养成爱读书的习惯？读书根本的原因应该是喜欢，而不是把读书当做任务或负担。如果你的身份认同是讨厌阅读，请尽快改变过来，从少量阅读开始，从你爱读的内容开始，在心态上逐渐将自己视为喜欢读书的人。如果你的注意力短暂、习惯了碎片化，那就把书当作博客，当作一篇一篇的博文，每次读一章甚至一节就结束庆祝，直到别人都说你爱读书为止。具体怎么做呢？这里给你5个建议。
If you're anything like me, you like the idea of reading, but when it actually comes time to buckle down sit on a chair, pick up a book and read, you have a hard time focusing let alone really enjoying it. And maybe you've thought to yourself "Well, I guess I'm just not a reader. I'm more of an action-based learner, you know, I learn by doing."
如果你和我一样，喜欢读书，但当真正到了坐下来、拿起一本书并阅读的时候，你却很难集中注意力，更不用说真正享受阅读了。也许你曾经怀疑过：“嗯，也许我并不喜欢读书。我更适合基于行动来学习，我意思是，通过实际行动来学习。”
But deep down you know that by not reading books you're missing out on some of the important, in depth and profound insights ever recorded. So how can people like us, people who aren't naturally bookworms, actually read books, retain their information, and actually learn to enjoy it?
但在内心深处你非常清楚，如果你不去阅读，你将错过一些记录在书中的非常重要而深刻的知识与智慧。那么，像我们这样的人，并非天生书迷的人，如何认真读书，吸收知识，并真正学会享受阅读呢？
Well in this video I'm going over 5 powerful strategies that will help you not only read more, but find that you enjoy reading more than you ever possibly thought you ever could.
在这个视频中，我将分享5个有效的方法，不仅会帮助你阅读更多书，还会让你发现，你比想象中的曾经的自己更加喜欢阅读。
Tip number one: If you want to start reading, don't overachieve.
第一：如果你想开始阅读，不要设定过高的目标。
It's very easy to say "yeah I'm gonna read a book a week from now on." But your past is telling. You're not going to. So in order to break into the habit of reading, you need to set your standards almost comically low. I'm talking one page a day. Reading one page only takes about 60 seconds if you're an average-speed reader, and, well, it's an extremely easy task.
我们很容易说：“从现在开始我每周要读一本书。”但过去的经验表明，你很可能做不到。所以，为了养成阅读的习惯，你需要将标准定得几乎低得荒谬。我说的是每天只读一页。如果你的阅读速度是普通水平，那么阅读一页只需要大约60秒，这样的阅读量极其容易做到。
But remember: It's just as easy not to do, so make sure you do it. Don't make not doing it an option. And if you want to keep reading after you've read your daily page - go for it, but the important thing is to get that one page in.
但要记住：不读也同样容易，所以确保你去读。不要给自己不读的选择。如果你在完成每天阅读一页的目标后，还想继续阅读，那就继续读，但重要的是要读那一页。
Tip number two is: read before going on the internet.
第二：在上网之前阅读。
You don't need me to tell you that the internet is an ADHD inducing place full of cheap dopamine highs and shallow thinking. Checking your Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Reddit before reading a good book is like binge eating Skittles before tasting a fine wine. The wine will taste way worse and you'll feel too sick to drink it anyways.
你不需要我来提醒你，互联网是一个让人分心、充满廉价多巴胺刺激和浅薄思考的地方。在阅读一本好书之前浏览Facebook,，Instagram，Pinterest，Reddit等软件，就像在品尝美酒之前狂吃糖果一样，美酒会变得更难品味，而你也会觉得太难受而无法品味美酒。
Point being - read books before your brain is zapped by the internet. A great way to do this, obviously, is to read first thing in the morning. Which brings me right to my next tip.
重点是：在你的大脑被互联网破坏之前阅读。显然，一种很好的方法是，早上第一件事就是开始阅读。这就引出了我的下一个建议。
Tip number three is bunch your habits.
第三：捆绑习惯
Habit bunching is when you pair an already existing habit that you enjoy doing with a habit that you're trying to work on. If it's a habit for you to drink a nice hot cup of coffee in the morning, then pair that habit with reading. An easy way to do this is to put the book you want to read next to your coffee maker in the morning so when you get up and make yourself a cup of coffee you'll see the book and you'll grab it and go. By bunching an already existing habit with one you're trying to work on, not only will it be easier to work on that new habit but the enjoyability of the first habit may even rub off on the second one.
捆绑习惯是指，将你已经享受的现有习惯与你正在努力养成的习惯捆绑在一起。如果早上喝一杯美味的咖啡对你来说已经成了习惯，那就将这个习惯与阅读相结合。一个简单的方法是，把你想要阅读的书放在早上冲咖啡的地方，这样当你早上起床冲咖啡时，你会看到书，然后你就会拿起书并开始阅读。通过将一个已经存在的习惯与你正在努力养成的新习惯捆绑起来，不仅会更容易养成新习惯，而且第一个习惯的愉悦可能会传递到第二个习惯上。
Tip number four is: Try audiobooks.
第四：听有声书
Listening to audiobooks is a great way to soak in the information of a book while still being able to multitask. One of my favorite things to do, especially if I have to read a book for school, is to listen to the book while I'm working out. If you enjoy working out like I do this counts as habit bunching.
听有声书是一种很好的方法，可以在做多任务的同时吸收书中的信息。我特别喜欢边听书边做其他，尤其是在需要完成学校的读书任务时，我会在锻炼的时候听书。如果你像我一样喜欢锻炼，这也算是捆绑习惯。
My camera just overheated. Where was I. Audible is personal favorite place to get audiobooks and while the subscription isn't free.
我的相机刚刚过热了，我在说什么来着。Audible 是我个人最喜欢获取有声书的软件，虽然它不是免费的。
Oh yeah! So if you find yourself at about a book-a-month pace then audible's free book system pays for itself. I think that math checks out.
哦对！如果你每月能够读一本书，那么通过阅读 Audible 提供的免费书单，稳赚不赔，我想我应该没算错。
My fifth and final tip is: Change your attitude.
第五：改变态度
And this tip, while it may seem not very practical or hands on, it's probably the most important. Because if you self-identify as someone who hates reading, you're building up unnecessary mental resistance towards something you're trying to do more of. That's dumb.
