<p>I&rsquo;d like to finish by returning to an idea I mentioned near the beginning of this article: read the great books twice. The philosopher Karl Popper explained the benefits nicely, &ldquo;Anything worth reading is not only worth reading twice, but worth reading again and again. If a book is worthwhile, then you will always be able to make new discoveries in it and find things in it that you didn&rsquo;t notice before, even though you have read it many times.&rdquo;</p><p>Additionally, revisiting great books is helpful because the problems you deal with change over time. Sure, when you read a book twice maybe you&rsquo;ll catch some stuff you missed the first time around, but it&rsquo;s more likely that new passages and ideas will be relevant to you. It&rsquo;s only natural for different sentences to leap out at you depending on the point you are at in life.</p>
