Active And Passive Reading
Passive reading is when we read for pleasure and get lost in the book, enjoying the complete experience. This is applied in fictional works. Acquiring knowledge demands a different way to read: Active reading.
Great books require time and attention, needing to be chewed and digested properly for an in-depth understanding.

Acquiring Knowledge Using Analytical Reading
There is an even more active, complex and profound way to read: Analytical Reading.
It involves questioning the text you read, highlighting key points, taking notes, summarizing or curating key ideas, and thinking deeply about what the author is trying to say.

How To Read Analytically
Reading helps us connect existing thought patterns and upgrade our mental models.
To read deeply and critically, we have to engage with the written text differently:
- Read slowly, making each page a learning process.
- Take notes, preferably using a pen and paper.
- Try to explain the main idea in a notebook, asking critical questions and raising doubts.
- Teach the content to others, summarizing the book lessons in a presentable format. If we can explain it in simple language, we must have understood it well.
- Choose the books carefully.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
