    "I don't read fast. Speedreading is bullshit." I was so happy to hear you say that. I reread passages, paragraphs and pages constantly. I don't want to gloss over. The author took the time on each sentence - because they wanted to convey meaning. I don't want to miss out. Ryan, I started reading again because of you. Just want to say thank you.

    "It's a short, 1,100 page book. I read it in a week." 💀💀💀
  • @bowmanvmi
    I've been doing this for about a year now and have hundreds of notecards and it's absolutely incredible how much easier I find it to recall interesting bits, quotes, ideas, etc., from books. Thank you!

    Have a conversation in a book

    Let the book sit for a couple of months just pick later on the best idea from it.

    Have a common place book, where you put notes.
    Write the theme why it touched you
    6:00
    Find patterns between wisdom and connect them.

    I hate how other people keep harping on advantage of digital products when I find that reading on paper 📜 helps me to relax and get away from the digital poisoning stress
  • @PhuNguyen-xe9zu
    This is exactly what I needed to hear at this very moment. Thank you Ryan for continuing to add value to my life.
  • I am a software engineer and I have a lot of books about engineering but sometimes struggle to retain the information. I will definitely be trying the advice of this video. Excellent work and excellent channel
  • @tamveilleux7301
    This is hands down the best YT video I've watched in six months. I love this and will institute it NOW. My commonplace book never had a name until now, and it's always been in unusable journals. I'm blown away. Thank you.

    Physically Writing things down increases learning /memory of them. When I was in college I would study and write notes and then I would copy those notes before exams, Rewrite them/copy them- and while rewriting them -I would have to think about them again -and everything would really just easily stick in my mind.It definitely works… Thanks Ryan enjoying your channel!

    I died laughing when you said speed reading is bullshit. I always thought I was slow because I had to reread to hear the writers voice for context.
  • Excited to try this, have just buckled down to writing a 30 minute act of comedy also just got Ego is the Enemy delivered yesterday, I CAN'T open it until I go buy flash cards and highlighter pens, I see this working for me so well!
  • @filmcourage
    Fascinating to see your process Ryan. Thank you for posting. Great video!
  • @ciphermedic
    You are an inspiration Ryan. Everytime I watch your video or read your book, I end up learning some thing valuable and simultaneously get inspired to kickstart my life again.
  • I've finished your two books at the same time: Obstacle is the way and The Ego is the Enemy. I felt honored to read them, they are amazing. The timing they matched with my life right now, sounds perfectly. For sure, I'll reread these books during my life. In the future, I'll give to my son, my grandchild... Thanks a lot for #sharingiscaring everything you've learned in your life. I hope you keep on your journey Ryan!! You great!! I'll start read The stillness is the key right now!
  • @rdyt0
    Thank you so much for the advice of annotating between the lines while reading. I used to have many fleeting thoughts and sparks of ideas while reading but I lost most of them in a blink of eye. Now I always read with a pencil at hand and turn off my cell phone so I can set myself in a deep thinking process along with the text and in the meantime keep jotting down whatever interesting thought that occurs to me. I finally got to keep them in this way.

    Keeping a commonplace book is absolutely the most useful thing I have ever done. I started just over a year ago–mine is virtual on Evernote, but I do have a system to interact with the book multiple times to remember the info before putting it into the virtual storage. I’m studying Psychology and Philosophy in university, and this practice has absolutely transformed how I research, how I write, and how I think more broadly.
