 A love for reading and the proof of being "well read" doesn't require a person to own, or to have even read through, a large stack of books. Quality over quantity should always be the ideal standard, including in the practice of reading.

In this episode, Tim talks about a minimalist approach to reading and shares the story of his decision to purge most of the books in his personal library out of a desire to create a more deliberate reading plan. Drawing from the advice of respected philosopher of education, Mortimer Adler, as well as supporting ideas from theologians Charles Spurgeon and John Piper, Tim argues for an approach that allows one to read more by reading less.
