Disagree. Reading is not the same thing is learning, or self-education. When I read to learn, I take notes, I highlight, I reflect and write my thoughts on the subject. Reading is a highly effective way to learn and absorb information, if you engage with the text, and make it an active experience, rather than a passive experience. Reading isn’t about memorizing a few sentences. It’s about understanding a subject, the contents within, and being able to apply to various contexts you encounter throughout your life. Whenever I encounter a problem or challenge in my personal or professional life, I can immediately recall and reference the knowledge or wisdom I’ve gained from books. And if I can’t, I find the book I’m missing, and actively read it to assimilate a new understanding.
