Capturing insights while reading enhances understanding and retention of information. Engaging with physical books allows for a more immersive experience, enabling the reader to jot down notes directly in the margins or bracket significant passages. If a book doesn't lend itself to this method, pairing it with a computer facilitates the note-taking process, ensuring valuable lessons and reflections are documented for future reference.
In this episode, I discuss a system you can use to better understand, retain, and apply the information you read in nonfiction books. If you want to expand your knowledge, solve problems, or deepen your understanding of the world, this system will help you do so.
