Speed Reading and Memory Coach
You and I both know that over the last 12 months, you've bought a lot of books. Maybe started a lot of books. You keep getting new book recommendations, and then you look at your past months and realize you're reading five books at the same time. And you've finished two books in the last 12 months.
I want to help you actually make this the year you change your reading habits.
In the video above, David Kirkpatrick walks through why most people stay stuck in the same reading rut year after year, and what it actually takes to break out of it. He's offering a paid group coaching program called The Reading Habit Challenge, running in November 2026 and January 2027. The premise is simple: you'll read four books in four weeks with an ambitious group, with David texting and calling you to hold you accountable.
Feel the Pain of the Last Five Years
The biggest thing that's helped me was kind of feeling the pain. Look at your last five years of reading. Am I okay with letting that happen the next five years?
Because let's face it, humans don't really change unless we get a miracle from God, or you hit rock bottom, or someone helps you. I want to help you.
If you're okay with not repeating your reading habits of the last five years, that's a good thing. Now you need to make it painful.
Would Those Books Make You Sharper
Look at those books on your stack and genuinely ask yourself: if those books were in your brain and you actually read them, would you think better? Would you be sharper? Would you tell better stories? Would you communicate with more people? Would you make more money?
Ask yourself those questions. And then ask yourself: is that worth an hour of your time every day?
If you're ready to stop letting books collect dust and actually build a reading habit, you need accountability. That's where this challenge comes in. Four books, four weeks, with a group that's just as committed as you are.
An Hour a Day Changes Everything
Here's what it comes down to: you've already bought the books. You already know they could make you better. The only thing missing is actually reading them.
The Reading Habit Challenge is designed for people who are serious about investing in this skill. The same skill millionaires and companies have paid to learn.
If you're ready to make the next five years different from the last five, comment "apply" to get started.
