You've been reading wrong all your life.

I'm a lot like this guy. He has three Ivy League degrees and I've had poison ivy three times to varying degrees.

I noticed that people in medical fields tend to be really meticulous and have excellent time management when it comes to reading. Thanks for the advice! 😀

This only works with non-fiction. If i ever come across a guy that says that he read crime and punishment in a day i wil ask him "Do you also brag about having sex in five seconds?'

This reminds me of the Henry Ford quote “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” Instead of looking for ways to increase content consumption, we should look to improve our method of consumption. Insightful.

This is great for technical reading, textbooks, manuals, journals, scholarly articles, and the like. Obviously, we want to digest literature in a different way.

skipped through this video and got the best out of the important parts 💪

00:00 📚 Reading faster isn't about cramming more words, it's about learning faster and retaining information effectively. 02:35 🗺 Before diving into a book, get a summarized version to build a mental map of its content. 06:06 🎭 Reading for entertainment is different from reading to learn; have a clear purpose for each reading session. 10:47 🧠 Engage in active reading by reviewing, debating, and teaching what you learn to ensure deep understanding. 13:08 📝 Merely highlighting or taking notes isn't effective; engage with the material actively to strengthen memory and understan

?[growing new brain connections] 1. Don't have to read all the words -author swags, exaggerates. So cut through other person's (author's) thoughts. 2. Use map. Read summaries, or discussions before reading. -scan through, and judge for yourself what's relevant, and irrelevant. if relevant, read slow, or with extra focus, & really understand. If irrelevant, skim. -reading text books; use table of contents, and diagrams, and focus on material that matters to better understand concepts u actually wanna learn about, rather than reading page 1 to last. 3.Approach all books with purpose, know the why of what. 4. The trio; - ?whatever. avoid passive reading. use active and applied reading together, ig? exercise 1. Is this concept relevant to me exercise 2. be critical, analyze, think. play devil's advocate to better understand. exercise 3. can u explain it to others? record urself if not sure. exercise 4. was knowing what u read useful, can it be applied in real life, is this useful in long term? 5. note taking useless. -well fuck. -true, I won't be coming back to this, but note taking helps in interacting with inflow of information better?! summary; skim. (actively read) kek. smh.

Just eat the book bro

I watched 13 seconds of this video and got the “gist” of it. Now I’m going to watch seven seconds of another video. Later.

I actually read for entertainment so I read slow and even google definitions often and sometimes even pronunciation and I'm glad you mentioned (flow) because great entertainment writers definitely have an outstanding writing flow that just sounds like a great story being told in your head...

This is simply not going to work, and I respectfully disagree. Maybe it will work for easy fluff books like those found in a self-help shelf (all the books in the beginning of his video), but it won't really work for anything else. Mortimer J. Adler recommended that worthy books ought to be read ideally 3 times: the 1st to deeply understand the structure & general arguments, the 2nd for comprehension of detail, and the 3rd for criticism & conversation. What SpoonFedStudy is proposing you do is do all 3 readings in 1 reading, which only master readers can achieve. People don't understand that reading is a skill and think that if they can read words on a page, they can read just as well as anyone else—not true. This system of doing all 3 reads in 1 read will most likely just give you a mediocre level in structure, understanding, and opiinion on a book. Self-help is literally the bottom of the barrel in terms of difficulty or quality. I think if you read them upside down you'll still be able to finish a couple a week. And btw, how foolish is reading Marcus Aurelius in 1 day before he inundates himself with the skeleton of another book the next. What is the probability that he's at all thinking deeply about what a Roman emperor distilled as his greatest private writings of advice by Sunday? Almost none, I mean how vacuous, it's just a check on a list. This is what annoys me about American culture, and as someone about to graduate medical school this reminds me of doctors I worked with who only read the abstracts of hallmark papers just for the sake of efficiency, which is a noun they worship. If you want to read The Master and His Emissary by Iain McGilchrist, or Aristotle's Nicomacean Ethics or any book on philosophy, A History of the First World War by B.H. Liddel Hart, Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell or The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham, and numerous other books that aren't fluff self-help, you're going to have to do the work and not take the lazy way out by reading summaries or skipping paragraphs and pages, because many of these books don't have wasted space, and can't be effectively summarized. Some of these books have 50+ pages of blbiography, sometimes the book IS the summary of the research.

I fast forwarded through most of this video. Took my 3 min to watch. 1)Read a summary of book first 2)don’t read every word just sort of skim the book for important plot points, you can skip whole paragraphs or pages 3) read often and don’t take notes The end

It makes so much sense. Thanks for putting this out here. Very good content, useful.

This is how to get through or absorb a book a day- and definitely better than what most would do! It's efficient and probably a better method than traditional reading- but if someone claimed to have read a book and I find out they skipped over paragraphs, I consider that having skimmed it instead

I'm so glad that I was introduced to your channel. You videos are a truly gems. Thanks for sharing your experiences and insights. I'm slowly adopting some of the techniques and feeling so much better about myself and my future

This video is way more valuable than you may realize. Its embarrassing but my eyes teared up even because of how insightful this was. It resonates so true on many levels. Thank you🎉

Excellent video, I can just listen to this whole day, this is finally something that will help me in future

Love your explanations. You truly are underrated

Thanks alot for this video! I’ll be sure to use the information given. Can’t believe such quality content is free
