Reading Books More Attentively
I recently contributed a short piece to Professor Dr Stefan Lacher’s new book Digitalisierung im Marketing.
The previous time I wrote a longer contribution was my business administration diploma thesis at the University of Mannheim. That is different from an occasional blog or social media post.
A well-researched text takes time. My book contribution was no exception. It reminded me how quickly we skim information in today’s fast-moving world, whether blogs or books. We rarely take enough time to understand an author’s perspective properly.
I hope this small realisation will encourage me to spend more time reading attentively again.
