Is there a Hierarchy to Reading?
After talking with 1,000+ readers, I've noticed that just as there's a hierarchy of needs, there's a hierarchy of reading.
Here are the 5 levels:
Level 1 is Reading for Education: Reading is primarily done out of obligation for school rather than personal choice or interest.
Level 2 is Reading for Entertainment: Reading books that give you a feeling of escape or entertainment.
Level 3 is Reading for Expertise: Reading books written by experts who can teach you about a topic or help you solve a problem.
Level 4 is Reading for Enrichment: Reading books that develop your critical thinking and emotional intelligence through complex characters, themes, and ideas.
Level 5 is Reading for Enlightenment: Reading books that help you explore and understand life's most fundamental questions.
(Note: This doesn't mean one level of reading is better than another, but rather people read different books depending on where they're at in life.)
What do you about this idea? Is there anything you'd change?
