so all your life you've been lied how to read a book that's why you hate reading books if you
hate reading books if you're too lazy to read a book you need to watch this video because i'm
going to show you seven ways to actually read a book even if you hate reading a book howdy
folks satish gear here from dallas texas in this video i'm going to show you seven ways
you should be reading a book to actually get the most out of it number one don't waste time with
summaries of the books if you have a blinkist or abstract something you know those summary in a
subscription please i'm telling you being honest with you you're not reading a book you cannot
condense a book into five sentence you cannot do that the author has gone
way studio give you examples and talk about this and that to actually make it stick to your brain
if you're reading those summaries it's not helpful you could be lying to yourself saying
hey i'm reading a book but you're not you're not reading a book stop lying to yourself now
number two did somebody tell you you do not have to read the entire book let's say you buy a book
you bought a book and then most people start reading the book from guess what acknowledgement
that's stupid do not read that skip skip let's go to chapter one can okay if you like something
read it if not skip it's like buffet if you're at a buffet restaurant right you eat what you want to
eat you consume what you want to consume rest you skip it you do not have to read the entire book
page to page you scan to find information that you think is interesting and you read that that
was number two you do not have to read the entire book number three do not take notes while reading
a book okay i know i'm gonna get some hate but hear me out most people recommend that you take
notes while reading a book i have this beautiful book in front of me i'm reading it i
am not going to waste my time writing a note like while i'm reading a book here's what you
should be doing let's say you read chapter two put it down go to bed tomorrow morning
write a note you can write a bullet point notes like don't you don't have to use paragraphs
nobody is gonna read that paragraph including you you're not gonna read that so make bullet
points and write down things you learn chapter two bullet point this this this and you're okay
you can go back and check you can go back and scan but all comes from your memory first number four
do not read non-fiction books after 5 p.m so what i mean by that is all the books like non-fiction
books that require to actually think you should not be reading it after five o'clock because your
brain is already too tired from the entire day you're not gonna be able to grasp it what you do
is after 5 pm you can read fictional books try that maybe that's why you hate reading books
because you're reading the wrong book at the wrong time you should be reading math science technical
books like these you know during the day morning but after 5 pm don't read the book at all or if
you do want to read you can read fiction books for example on meditation harry potter something that
does not require you to actually think okay so next up number five next once you are actually
done with reading the entire book i want you to write down two concepts that you actually learn
from this book two concepts a lot of people what they do is they write paragraphs and paragraphs
and paragraphs about one book okay one book no you should not do that what you should be doing is
writing one or two good concept out of everything let's say you have 10 ideas about this book out
of those 10 what are the top two top three write those down let's say on notion or piece of paper
your diary number six explain the book that you have read to somebody else for example let's
say you're having a conversation with your friend you're like you know have you read this book no i
haven't and you say hey let me tell you about this book this book is called scientific advertising
and in this book it teaches you how to convert people turning them into a customer here's how
it works one two three so if you're able to convey what you have learned from a book to somebody else
in your own language in your own words guess what you have mastered it so that's it last but not
least is number seven read books outside of your space for example i'm the marketing guy right most
marketing guys they read only marketing books i read art i read engineering i read space i read
math books i read things outside of my circle so that i can learn and i can master all those
concepts down the road let's say five months a year from now i will actually use that information
and use it in marketing for example i read a book in art and then guess what i read a few years back
and i actually used it while doing marketing like three years later that's the whole concept
you have to read books outside of your actual genre so that makes sense if you do these seven
things so number one is don't waste time with book summaries number two is you do not have to
read the entire book number three is do not waste time taking the notes while you're reading the
book take the take the notes next day number four is don't read non-fiction books after 5 pm number
5 was from the entire book two or three concepts that's all you need okay and number six is explain
the book to somebody else who has not yet read that book and number seven read books outside
of your space if you don't do these things you'll start loving actually reading the book about five
six years ago i was not really reading books and i was just like you know here and there i
was pretending to reading a book but i was not actually reading it like the way i explained it
to you right what was happening was as i started reading more books i kind of turned into what i've
read if you read about good things like whatever you're reading about you turn into you you morph
into that person so i want you to guys read a book and this is how you should be reading i hope you
