Odysseas | 6 Note Techniques to Dissect Any Book @odysseas__ | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Years ago, my reading changed forever. I stumbled upon 'How to Read a Book' by Mortimer Adler, and it revealed how passive I let my learning become...
Since then, I always keep a pencil in hand as I dive into a book.
It's my beacon in the dark.
It guides me through the author's ideas.
It helps me arrange my thinking.
It keeps my analysis precise.
The result?
I can close the covers of ANY book with satisfaction, knowing I did my best to squeeze out its rich insight. My learning has never felt better.
This is a collection of my favourite techniques.
After years of experimentation, these few have stood the test of time.
Though simple, they're priceless tools in my reading, and I hope they can serve you in your own journey.
