Earn a Master’s Degree Every Year Through Reading

by Nick Woodall, Darren Sapp

Why does the average high school graduate read only two books for the rest of their life and the average college graduate read only ten? Nick Woodall suggests that most of these people consider their education complete. They don’t desire or appreciate the world of knowledge just pages away. Earning a master’s degree every year for the rest of your life may seem like a tall order. However, it’s much simpler than you might think. Through the power of reading, Woodall shows readers how to obtain a master’s degree-level of education on topics such as marketing, astronomy, British literature, or bird-watching. The topics are only limited by your imagination. Now is the time to dive into those books you’ve always wanted to read but haven’t found a way to fit into your busy schedule. Through an effective reading plan coupled with realistic goals, Woodall's concise little book will open a window to new cultures, hobbies, and maybe even a raise at work or the start to a business of your own. Certainly, it will lead to a better, more fulfilled you.

This book offers a concise yet powerful exploration of how reading can significantly enhance leadership skills and facilitate deep learning across any area of interest. The author provides practical tips on creating personalized reading plans akin to completing a Master's Degree, which can be customized and repeated at will. Personally, I found the advice invaluable and have shared it with many colleagues. Setting a goal to read 1,000 books over a decade, I've discovered that I've learned more through focused reading on topics of personal interest than I did during my formal education. This book is a transformative guide for anyone eager to expand their knowledge and leadership capabilities through the simple act of reading.

My Slightly Sarcastic But Ultimately Honest Book Rating System:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 Stars): This book achieved legendary status in my personal library. I will likely reread it until the pages fall out (or my e-reader spontaneously combusts). Consider this my enthusiastic endorsement – you should probably read it unless you actively dislike joy.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 Stars): A truly excellent read! I enjoyed it immensely and would heartily recommend it to fellow bookworms. You might even catch me subtly pushing it into their hands.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 Stars): Yep, it was a book I read. I turned the pages, absorbed the words, and emerged...unchanged. It was a pleasant enough journey, like a scenic detour that you wouldn't necessarily take again, but didn't regret.
⭐️⭐️ (2 Stars): This book existed. I finished it. That's about the highest praise I can offer. If you're looking for something truly captivating, maybe keep scrolling. This one's more of a "it filled the silence" kind of experience.
⭐️ (1 Star): Oh dear. This book and I did not get along. It was a literary tumbleweed in the vast desert of good books. Consider this a strong "do not recommend," unless you're conducting research on what not to do in storytelling.

Disclaimer: My enjoyment of the narrator is based on my listening speed. I only leave 5 stars for books I've read/listened to or will read/listen to multiple times.

I requested this book from the author, narrator, or publisher in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
