Why I'm Reading Less Self-Help and More Fiction
What's the future of books, creativity, and sharing ideas in an AI-powered world? After reading a fascinating article by Tim Ferriss about the decline of nonfiction book sales, I found myself thinking less about the data and more about my own creative journey. The books I read, the way I create, and even my definition of success have changed over the years. In this episode, I explore why I'm reading more fiction than ever before, what creators can learn from the idea of "1,000 true fans," and why building meaningful work for a small, engaged audience may be far more fulfilling than chasing millions of views. If you're a writer, artist, entrepreneur, or anyone creating something that matters to you, I hope this conversation encourages you to keep going. In this episode, you'll discover: ⭐ Why my reading habits have changed over the past few years ⭐ What the decline in nonfiction book sales might tell us about today's world ⭐ Why 1,000 true fans may be more valuable than millions of followers ⭐ How to stop chasing every platform and focus on creating work that lasts I'd love to hear your thoughts. Are you focused on long-form or short-form content? Has AI changed the way you create? Let me know in the comments.
