WHY CAN'T I READ ANYMORE? The 8-Minute Method: To Stop Checking Your Phone, Rebuild Attention Span, and Finish Books Again

You still want to read. You just can't seem to stay.You buy the book. You put it beside your bed. You tell yourself you'll read tonight.Then you check your phone.One message becomes a few minutes of scrolling. You put the phone down, return to the page, and realize you have no idea what you just read.So you start the paragraph again.And somewhere along the way, you begin to wonder: What happened to me?Why can't I read anymore? Maybe nothing is wrong with you.Maybe you haven't lost your ability to read. Maybe you've simply lost the ability to stay.WHY CAN'T I READ ANYMORE? offers a practical way to rebuild that capacity, without demanding a perfect digital detox, heroic discipline, or hours of free time you don't have.At the center of the book is a simple idea: start smaller than you think. The 8-Minute Method helps you: This is not a challenge to finish more books for the sake of a number.It is not about becoming perfectly focused.And it is not about never touching your phone again. It is about something more useful: learning to stay.To stay with a page when your attention wanders.To notice the impulse to check without automatically obeying it.To return when you lose your place.To discover that a few minutes of genuine attention can become a habit, and that a habit can become a capacity you carry into the rest of your life. Because the goal was never simply to read more books.The goal is to become someone who can sit down, open a book, and remain there long enough for the reading to begin.If you have a shelf of books you meant to read, a Kindle full of abandoned samples, or a quiet suspicion that something has changed in you, this book is for you. You do not have to become the reader you used to be.You can become a reader again. Start with eight minutes.Start with one page.Start today.
