OM DENNE EPISODE
What if I told you that you could live counter-culturally today just by reading extra slowly?
We’ve all heard that leaders are readers, but nobody actually enjoys plunging through a long checklist of titles as fast as they can.
Outsiders, we need a new approach. It’s time to slow down and be curious again.
Welcome to Curiosity, a series of five conversations that explore the recovery and rediscovery of our curiosity, the God-given fuel behind Go Outside. In Part 1 of this first episode, Dr. Karen Swallow Prior, the author of one of my favorite books, On Reading Well, is here to help us rethink how and why we read. Together, Karen and I explain how reading well is a straight-out rebellion against our fast-paced culture but also a deeply rewarding virtue that slows us down, opens us up to notice, and makes us powerful stewards of language.
