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:

1. Read slowly, making each page a learning process.
2. Take notes, preferably using a pen and paper.
3. Try to explain the main idea in a notebook, asking critical questions and raising doubts.
4. 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.
5. Choose the books carefully.
