Synopsis

Reading isn't a distraction from success. It's the foundation of it.

— 2025 BookLife Prize — Quarter Finalist —

“A vital resource for readers determined to think more clearly in a world driven to digital distraction.”
—BookLife

“Perennial good advice, and well delivered… A passionately argued case for building a regular reading habit.”
—Kirkus Reviews

Reading rates are at their lowest point in decades—pushed aside by career demands, family obligations, and endless digital noise.

Yet high performers across fields share one quiet truth.

The most powerful tool for growth isn’t a new technology.

It’s an ancient one.

In The Catalyst Habit, entrepreneur and bookseller, Josh Jacobs shows how reading can become a foundational practice that fuels growth across nearly every area of life.

With a personal trainer’s precision, Jacobs breaks reading into manageable daily “reps,” revealing how just a few minutes a day can sharpen focus, reduce stress, and strengthen lifelong learning.

Inside you'll discover:

• The Five Pillars of Reading
• Why high performers make reading nonnegotiable
• How five minutes a day can sharpen focus and reduce stress
• How to build a sustainable reading habit that fits your life

Rather than treating books as a luxury left behind after graduation, The Catalyst Habit makes a compelling case for reclaiming reading as one of the most powerful tools for lifelong growth.

Perfect for readers of:

Reader, Come Home by Maryanne Wolf
Why We Read by Shannon Reed
Clear Thinking by Shane Parrish

Reclaim reading—and rediscover one of the most powerful tools for learning, focus, and lifelong growth.
