How to remember everything you read

With the decrease in popularity of modern universities and the access we have to brain zapping technology, the future belongs to those who can sit and dissect a book to glean the utmost insights from it.

As Naval Ravikant says: “it’s no longer educated vs uneducated, its likes to read vs doesn’t like to read.”

I read around 2 hours everyday and without doing so I wouldn’t be able to record half the videos I do. So as requested by some of you, here’s my process of reading I’ve perfected over the last 7 years to gain maximal insight from books.

[David-tntw]

Just found your channel today. Super impressed with your communication skills, ability to teach, and your overall intelligence. Your channel is going to grow really quickly.

[jeppeyde]

I am shocked, sitting here at home laughing. Your are literally the best YouTuber or what you would call it. I love your personality and how... i can't even find words mate. Please keep on making videos. I love you;)

[kaimuller]

Definitely have to start reading more again, I used to be addicted to books but high school made me stop. Thanks for the reminder and assistance to restart man! ;)

[semplicementebea]

heyy, I've discovered this channel like a week ago and it's one of the best things ever happened in this online world:') the topics u talk about are really really interesting and, as a psychobiology student, they really motivate me to give my best, to find new strategies, to improve skills and to go deep about things. i feel like I (unconsciously) really needed to know what you say. You are an inspiration! Thank you so much for what you're doing<3

[odysseas__]

Great video man, you checked off the points that matter and didn't shy away from the hard work involved. I appreciate the shoutout too!
(Also Odysseas is my real name -it's not too rare in Greece)

Loved the small bits in the video and your humor. Fantastic vid.

[robertjeliadis]

This was a great video! Super insightful and makes me want to thoroughly read and analyze each book I read!

[concertautist]

Fantastic video. I'm a book addict as well.
Always stop reading bad books. Don't feel compelled to finish a book once you've got what you need. You can always open the book again later.

I read Crime and Punishment a month ago. I guess it was slow to get going but the descriptions of the miserable poverty was so powerful I loved it.

Pro-tip: buy some book darts instead of dog earring your books. You even get a sweet tin with motion filled Japanese art.

You've inspired me to get back to summarising the last book I read on systems theory. Hurrah!

[ForWhoAlll]

I am a huge reader, and have been waiting for some more book recommendations from him for soooo long

[oluwatish]

I used to love reading during my childhood and during my teenage years I've got off them for a long while but now in my early 20s i'm getting back into them but slowly. Still finding it hard to read a book for more than 20 mins because of my attention span but i'm trying my best

[RussellPansaon]

I've read Way of the Superior Man last month and it was really fun and good book for me but after that I kinda became lost on to what to read next and I want to explore more about the topic of WotSM, then this video came along definitely gonna read the books you've exampled. Thanks and great video as always!

[MattRVR]

3:59 Would you mind dropping your reading list?

[bensomes]

Adding onto Louise Perry's book, you could read Carrie Gress's 'The End of Woman' and then Rachel Wilson's 'Occult Feminism' then you get into a real deep dive rabbit hole

[looneathome]

….and now show us your best books


Please keep up with this awesome content!

[MrRagnarxx]
