Reading Advice

Don't Read Another Book Until You Watch This

1) Choosing what to read 2) Reading the books 3) Better than reading

Part 1

Mistake 1: Forced reading, this will drive to learning disability. Reading speed will slow. Make the habit of love to read. It will help in more retention. If we love reading, we boost our reading 20 points.

Mistake 2: Reading the wrong books

Mistake 3: People don't read, don't learn. People stop education after completing formal education. Actually this is start of real world education.
Below are 7 reasons why continuously reading and learning:
a) Wisdom will help you to drive you to your destiny. Knowledge is power. It's like touching a butterfly. 

[The Butterfly Effect: is the idea that small things can have non-linear impacts on a complex system. The concept is imagined with a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a typhoon (a tropical storm in the region of the Indian or western Pacific oceans).]

You only have to make few high leveraged influential decisions and everything you want materialized.

b) An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. Educating yourself as well as those around you is the best investment in the future that we can make and it is an investment.

c) Fun

d) Brain growth

e) Multiple life value, you take advantage of people's life time experience. Learning by life lessons from other people experiences.

f) You brain has already rewind to make correct decisions subconsciously. You have enough data, exposure and repetition. 

Mistake 4: Reading Bestseller books

Tip: You must go for best knowledge which is rare and valuable like in economics supply and demand graph. 
Read what is related to your needs and requirements. 

Mistake 5: Most people read JIC (just in case) instead of JIT (just in time). In old days, car manufacturing was very laborious. A lot of storage management of parts was involved. JIC is old storage manufacturing concept. 
There is difference between feeling learning and actual learning.

We have now ability to apply specific knowledge to solve specific problem. 

Part 2

Mistake 6: We have limited life-time in life. Keep in mind the opportunity cost of your time. 
We cannot do all productive things. 

Opportunity cost, or alternative cost, is the loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one particular alternative is chosen over the others.

Zero-Sum Game - a situation in which one person or group can win something only by causing another person or group to lose it.

Even if something is productive, what is its scale of productivity. 10% productive activity will consume same time and energy as 80% productive activity. So, better to go for latter one. 

[Zero-Sum Games and Win-Win/Lose-Lose Situations Compared in One Minute]
If you think you should stop reading a specific book because you found another one more useful then stop reading the first one. Don't wait to finish it. 
Use 80/20 rule for continue or not continue while reading a book. Not be fixed, be flexible. Mostly first chapter will tell you that you should continue reading or better to stop reading. 
Same do with youtube channels.

Mistake 7: Racing through books. Doesn't matter how many books you gone through, what matter how many books gone through you. 

Mistake 8: Reading without implementing. it's not always about knowing what to do, it's about doing what you know.

Mistake 9: Buying a new book only after finishing the first one. 

Tsundoku (Japanese) is acquiring reading materials but letting them pile up in one's home without reading them. Buy more and more books. Fill up your life with books. 

Mistake 10: Thinking that books are expenses. Books are investments. 

Mistake 11: Focusing on wrong things. 

Mistake 12: Listening audio books and reading; do both at the same time. Deep learning is required for serious work. Use both audio learning and visual learning. Be in the state of flow. Let enter the knowledge into your brain and retain it. It will bump the speed of reading and learning. It will help in serious learning. Maintain excitement and curiosity. Follow deep learning and acquiring wisdom. 

Part 3
Go through TEDx, Talks at Google, Podcast reviews about book before reading it. 80/20 rule practice, core content. Time is limited. Use your time efficiently.

20 Things to be Learned From Larry Page Google Founder

This is #18 of 20 Things From Larry Page the Google person, the importance of taking notes 'You know what it’s like to wake up in the middle of the night with a vivid dream? And you know that if you don’t have a pencil and pad by the bed, it will be completely gone by the next morning. Sometimes it’s important to wake up and stop dreaming. When a really great dream shows up, grab it.' 20 Things I’ve Learned From Larry Page I visited Google a few weeks ago and, after almost getting arrested, my mind was blown. First, Claudia wandered into the garage where they were actually making or fixing the driverless cars. When they finally realized she was wandering around, security had to escort her out. We got scared and we thought we were going to get in trouble or thrown out. Then we met with a friend high up at Google and learned some of the things Google was working on. Nothing was related to search. Everything was related to curing cancer (a bracelet that can make all the cancer cel...
