Yes. Reading books, the kind with no hyperlinks or any mechanism that allows you to jump from thought to thought, promotes deep thought and concentration which we need for learning. Learning happens in the space where the brain can concentrate and can operate uninterrupted. There are many books about this, a few that comes to mind are;

  • Focus, by D. Goleman
  • The Shallows, by N. Carr
  • Deep Work, by C. Newport
