The Fractal Reading Revolution [Part 2 of 4]

Remember that "wrong" way I read books?

Here's exactly how it works.

Step 1: Start with metadata

Book summaries. Author interviews. Reviews. Podcasts where they talk about the book.

Why? Authors compress their best ideas into 20-minute conversations. Five hours of reading becomes 20 minutes of concentrated insight.

Step 2: Strategic skimming

Read the table of contents. Jump to sections that grab you. Take notes on what matters to your situation.

Step 3: Surgical deep-dive

Go deep only where it counts. When something clicks, explore it fully.

Most people read linearly. Page 1, page 2, page 3. But books aren't written that way. The best stuff is scattered throughout.

Here's what I discovered. When I explain what I learned to someone else, I remember it better. When I teach it, I understand it deeper.

This matters.

But here's where it gets interesting. What I just described? That's the human version.

There's now a way to put this entire process on steroids.
