Translation: Reading trains a capacity that we use less today: paying attention to one thing only. When you read without distractions, your brain follows ideas, connects sentences, and recalls what came before to understand what follows. If you get distracted or reread a lot, your attention needs practice. It is a reason to read more, not to stop reading. Start with 10 pages a day of something you enjoy, with no phone nearby. Reading is the gym where you train your attention.
