Self-Merited PhD Book Club

The book reading self-merited PhD program

Did you know that reading 50 books in a particular academic field is

equivalent to earning a PhD in that subject matter?

I got this idea from Brian Tracy's “University on Wheels” and the “Rip & Read method” concepts. He says that you should always be listening to an audiobook in your car every time you drive somewhere. To be the best you can, always be reading and learning something new.

To earn your own self-merited PhD all you have to do is actively read or listen to audiobooks in your chosen subject. You can independently earn yourself the knowledge of a doctor just by reading and listening to books. Understanding your subject matter is what is important. Learning and knowing the truth is what really matters anyways, not just some title or degree. Being a doctor or having a PhD after you name doesn't mean anything without having a true understanding of the knowledge.

This means that anyone with the ambition to learn can earn the self-merited title of PhD. In the Age of Information Generation, you do not always have to pay an university or graduate college $100k to earn the knowledge of a PhD. With just a computer and the internet, information is easier and more accessible to everyone. Anyone regardless of social or financial status can learn anything they desire. All you have to do is read.

The Self-merited PhD Book Club Program is just the beginning of this revolutionary idea. The Coon Book Club website is my place to organized and record all of the books that I have read and am reading. This website is my reference and record. This site holds my personal reading log, my book reviews and additional information about each book. This site serves as my resource to remember and process the knowledge from the books that I read.

I am creating a webpage for each book I read. By taking notes on what I learn, writing book reviews and recording my thoughts and ideas about each book, I am leaving a trail of everything I am reading and learning. I will reference back to this information as needed, and continue to add more as I go. These book web pages also serves as a conversation portal for other readers to learn from and comment about. With this blog/message board format I hope to start discussions with other reader who have read the same books.

Self-merited PhD Book Club Program draft rules + procedures

Start by reading 1 hour everyday. If you read one hour per day in your field, that will translate into about one book per week. One book per week translates into about 50 books per year. 50 books per year will translate into about 500 books over the next ten years.

Publicly tract all the books you read on a blog or website, write your own review for each book, add notes + supplementary material, and write a summary of what you learned. When you hit 50 books, you get awarded a honorary self-merited PhD!

This is obviously based on the honor system, because only you can know if you read and understood the meaning and concepts of the books you read. You don't have to completely understand everything in every book, just the general ideas and concepts. By simply reading and listening to 50 book in your subject, you get the same knowledge as someone with a PhD. The knowledge is what matters in the end, understanding the truth about reality is what is important. Knowledge and what you do with it is what makes a difference!
