"I don't read fast. Speedreading is bullshit." I was so happy to hear you say that. I reread passages, paragraphs and pages constantly. I don't want to gloss over. The author took the time on each sentence - because they wanted to convey meaning. I don't want to miss out. Ryan, I started reading again because of you. Just want to say thank you.

@soniasoares7768 3 жыл бұрын

Finally, I found someone that can validate my thought "speedreading is bullshit" . I sincerely believe that the human brain is not equipped to assimilate and process information at the speed of a machine. The synapses of the human brain depends on other major organs to assimilate knowledge, store and be able to use it favorably.

@jonnysusi9783 3 жыл бұрын

I couldn´t agree more. Deep reading is far superior to speed reading in virtually every possible way. Sure, it takes a bit longer, but on the other hand you get far superior comprehension and recollection of the material, so it still gives a higher payoff per unit time. Not to mention the far greater pleasure of methodically savouring a book instead of just rushing through it.

@gluteus_maximus3206 3 жыл бұрын

I disagree, some books you can read perfectly well with the speed reading techniques. Also a lot of eg self help and psychology books have only a couple of quintessential messages and could have been 4 times shorter. A lot of hard facts are not important for example some historical facts about some people that have influenced the authors... and so on. Another big argument for SR is that many words are just connective words, that are not important for the overall understanding. Just saying something is bs without explaining why is not an argument .

"Speedreading is BS" - thank you, Ryan! Thank you! I am already partway to having a Commonplace Book like you do, because I treat non-fiction book as tools, buying them in paperback and marking them up. I buy hardback copies of the rare few that I want to keep because they are or have been life-changing for me. I want a pristine copy too (and these days, also an audiobook copy if the reader is good) in my bookcase in case it ever goes out of print. The best of books can do this over a long enough time. All I have to do now is get the cards and box to keep them in. Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII's main adviser and fixer for many years, kept a commonplace book too, including a book called "The King", which was about the King, who must have been a nightmare to work for! I wonder how much that book was responsible for his relative longevity as an adviser, in helping him to pivot and be adaptable to the King's ever-changing moods.

@JayTheAuthor 3 жыл бұрын

I love this, I do the exact same thing with reading books, when I write on them, highlight them, a part of me feels connected to the book as if I wrote it. If i don't annotate on a book a lot of the words brush past me when I have read them. And rewriting raw prose phrases into a notebook helps too, it lodges a new technique into my writer muscle memory. Great video!

I also use 4"x6" notecards but I don't use a common-place book: I use a 'common-place Wall'. I use binder clips to hold 'classes' of notecards together in packets with a cover-title card on top then hang these packets by the arms of the binder clips onto a premeasured grid of thumbtacks on a wall. I suspect this gives me a more 'at-a-glance' reference to my various studies- projects- records-etc.

This is awesome, thank you. I've watched many of your videos and enjoy them very much. I'm part way thru Meditations which I've seen you refer to a lot and a friend of mine, recommended it as well. This system is of your is up my alley and will try it out. I've recently starting reading to relax and as you said here, get away from all the screens in our lives. I use to say "I'm not a reader"....I won't be saying that again. Also thank you for saying speed reading is BS. It helps me accept me learning this process. Thanks for the Inspiration Ryan. Cheers.

Damn am I glad you exist, your work and others have directed me towards a level of personal responsibility that has shockingly afforded me more freedom with a sense of purpose I thought impossible before. I am and will likely remain a work in progress but I believe I have finally come to understand it really is about the journey. Keep it up I doubt I am the only one you have helped and I imagine there is more of us who would find value in the work you have and will do.

Just bOught discipline is the key here in the philippines. First book I ever bought for leisure, ended becoming a development book for me. Great book! Hoping to read your other books if I have extra money.

I used to take notes and my envelope is full of thousands of intermediate papers. Now I am going to try this out notecards and a commonplace book because i stopped taking notes for 2 months and just read books and highlight. But now I know how. Thank you so much for this! I don't know why I didn't get your book first when i started making book reading a habit late april and I only got to know you and read your first book (ego is the enemy) Last month. Now i am curious about your other books and robert greene's.

I started recording my notes and ideas in OneNote about 8 years ago. I have notebooks for different subjects and projects as well a a notebook for each year I use to manage my to-do list. I LOVE the fact I can keyword search 8 years worth of ideas in just a few clicks. I'm aware of the benefit of writing my content by hand, but the sheer volume of information as well as trying to recall ideas has driven me to a digital format. I'd like to believe my kids will someday read some of what I collected but I think it will just be like China that gets donated...only they will just have to hit the delete key.
