I want to share my recent discovery: many books repeat their main ideas multiple times throughout chapters. Authors often tell different stories to explain the same concept or revisit their viewpoints from various angles. If you truly understand the idea, you can finish the book quickly.
But why do authors invest so much energy, paper, and words in the same concept? This repetition occurs because changing people's minds is challenging. Without it, readers might easily overlook important ideas, as they often seek out information they already know or want to confirm their current beliefs. To shift perspectives, authors need to repeat key points to challenge our thinking until we experience the "aha" moment when new concepts and ideas finally resonate.
