Why do I need to read
The more information we absorb, the more we have a ideas. And it is not necessarily trying to invent something new, important in their own way to summarize old. After all, this is what makes us unique - that we all have come to completely different conclusions.
With this approach, no need to try to remember all of the facts from the book, the main thing - to understand the basic theme. And then they "will react" with the information that already exists in our memory. Just read the whole book is better, not abridged version, because it is important to find exactly the information that is relevant to you.
Increase speed
To do this, there are two ways:
- Use speed reading technique. However, not all the stored information thus obtained.
- Listen to audiobooks. It is best suited to those who easily assimilate information at the hearing. It was this way for himself and chose Thomas Bilyu.
Thomas BilyuI use an application Audible. That it is especially nice because it's possible to increase the playback speed. I am now all listen to the book with redoubled speed.
Of course, if you just add the playback speed, the habit you just can not make out anything. Will gradually increase the scan speed. For example, the first half, then two, and then three times.
Read all
Audiobooks can listen to at any time, anywhere, as long as you have been with a phone and a headset. For example, listen to them:
- behind the wheel;
- in public transport;
- in the plane;
- on a walk;
- in the bathroom;
- queue;
- I am going to work.
Of course, pleasant to read or listen to the book in large pieces when it is not necessary to rush anywhere. But even if you read snatches (especially with increased speed), you can learn a lot.
Study the issue from all sides
Do not try to memorize the book in great detail. Memorize the main ideas and move on.
And in order to fully examine any question, read as much as possible of different books on the subject. You will start to learn the basic ideas and understand them. Getting acquainted with different points of view, you make your own opinion. And to do this it will be easier than at slow reading and thinking about some kind of a book.
