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.
