Description
If you read the book in order, you will effectively be following our two-day workshop, but many of the techniques, insights and suggestions are self-standing and can improve your reading, comprehension, memory and retention so feel free to read them in the order which makes most sense to you (there’s a lot of cross-referencing in case you need to check out something which has been presented earlier). But however you approach the book, we strongly suggest that you actually try things out as you go. As we say in the book, reading is just the first step; it’s only useful if you put the information into practice.If you haven’t got time to read the whole book at the moment, then the techniques which will make the biggest immediate difference to your reading are:1) Apply skills you already have 2) Preview3) Don’t think reading, think finding information4) Have a clear purpose for reading5) Apply the 80/20 rule to your reading6) Read the message not the words14) Get into a good state for reading17) Take notes with mindmaps and rhizomaps18) Have 20-minute work sessionsPlus the Underlining techniqueWe’ve tried to make it as easy as possible for you to pick up and review the ideas:1) the titles of the techniques are self-explanatory2) each of the techniques is summarised in bold at the beginning of its section3) there is an extensive and helpful glossary4) we give examples of people’s actual experience – including our own5) there are ‘expert tips’ throughout which will also help youEXPERT TIP number one: While you’re learning, use well-written books you can understand easily – it will give you confidence in your new approach to reading.
