In today's society where fragmented information is overflowing, reading needs to be done in the right way. Reading 100 books will not change anything, but reading 1 book will actually improve you. The difference lies in whether you can apply the content in the book to work and life.
The author of this book, Yuji Akabane, worked for McKinsey & Company for 14 years and founded McKinsey's Korean branch. As a consultant, he often encounters knowledge from various fields in his work. No matter how busy he is at work, he will insist on reading at least 10 books every month. In order to ensure reading time and efficiency during busy work, he summarized a unique set of reading skills. From choosing books to planning reading time, to remembering the knowledge points in the book and taking practical actions, this set of skills covers all key points in the reading process. Keeping these skills in mind, even if you only spend 30 minutes reading every day, you can effectively absorb the knowledge in the book, enhance the value of reading, and continuously improve your own abilities.
Reader comments
With the purpose of reading quickly and efficiently, I found this book and I was not disappointed. The author must be a strong person and tell us a very feasible way of reading from his own experience, from why we should read, to how to arrange time for reading, to how to choose books that are useful to us, to how to turn the knowledge we have read into our own true knowledge. I will read it frequently and repeatedly until I understand it thoroughly and use it skillfully. Thank you to the author. It is very useful.
1. Do not re-read the pages you have read before.
2. Don't read several books at the same time. Only read one book at a time, and then read others after finishing it.
3. You can bookmark your favorite and meaningful things, write notes, write down your thoughts at the time, goals (what you think of, what to write), etc. You can write it in one and a half minutes, don't worry about the order.
4. Reading books for a long time can be half knowledge and half novels.
5. If you like a book, you can read more of the author's other books to understand the author's thoughts.
I like this book's comprehensive overview of reading - reading has a certain purpose. You must know that the final result of reading a lot of books is to be able to truly output it in action. Otherwise, reading too many books will be of little use. The reading method of only absorbing without output will cause you to limit the amount of reading after you reach a certain amount of reading. Read books with various insights, maintain curiosity and thirst for knowledge, allocate your time reasonably, and do not regard reading as an escape from reality. Reading stupidly is putting the cart before the horse.
The book contains many practical methods to help us read effortlessly.
1. The author does not recommend taking notes while reading, because it is time-consuming and labor-intensive and affects concentration. You need to switch back and forth between the book and the notebook. I deeply agree with this point.
2. The author does not recommend hoarding books. Currently, there are many books bought on a whim at home. The covers of the books have not yet been removed. I have not purchased new books recently and use up the original ones.
3. The author proposes a recording method. It's also good to buy a book and write down the time of purchase and first reading and your thoughts on the blank pages of the book, and evaluate the content of the book with a five-star rating!
Many times I want to read a few books after get off work, but I am always interrupted by all kinds of fragmented information. I can't help but lament that in today's society where fragmented information is rampant, reading may need to be done in the right way. So I borrowed this book to read. The author demonstrates his reading skills very well in the book. After reading the book, use the A4 paper note-taking method with a piece of paper and a pen to summarize the key points of the book within 1 minute. At the same time, review your notes regularly to firmly grasp the essence of each book, make reading an opportunity for action, and effectively transform the knowledge in the book into your own abilities. This set of techniques covers all key points in the reading process and is still feasible.
For reading in today's society, the difficult thing is no longer the lack of books. On the contrary, the increasingly abundant information and scarce time have made efficient reading a major problem that troubles the world. As the world's top consulting firm, McKinsey's employees' daily work requires them to read massive amounts of information and constantly learn knowledge. The author of this book uses his own work and study experience to summarize the experience of helping ordinary people read. These experiences will make us use time more efficiently and strengthen the value of reading.
A very practical book that focuses on how to take a break from busy work and life and improve yourself through reading. You should read with a purpose, read business books that are useful for your work and life, and read novels that help you mature mentally. Set a weekly reading plan, create a reading file, and use A4 paper to record your reading gains. These reading methods are indeed very practical. Many times, you still need to clarify your reading goals, have a purpose, and then follow the established plan. After some experience, looking back, you will have different gains.

The reading skills mentioned in this book are very practical! Especially for those of us who are busy at work, how to read efficiently in limited time and apply it to work and life is very important. I often have no time to study because I am busy with work, and I feel very stressed. The author said that reading should be given the highest priority. I think it makes sense. After all, reading can improve yourself. Moreover, the book also introduces how to choose books, which is also very helpful, saving me from looking at a pile of books and not knowing which one to read. In short, this book gave me a new understanding of reading, and it is worth reading!
It is very practical, written very simply, but also very detailed, and each step is very operable. It may be this simple method that allows the author to persist in doing it, because it is easy to operate and there are not many steps. However, the author said that it takes 1.5 To 2.5 Hours to read a new book. As someone who has never read many books, I don't know if that can be achieved.
This is a book about improving reading efficiency and skills. It provides a series of practical methods and strategies to help us read and understand texts more effectively. This book introduces how to quickly filter information, refine key points, and establish a reading frame to improve reading efficiency. These techniques can help us better grasp large amounts of letters and content. In addition, the book also introduces how to analyze texts, ask questions, establish thinking models, etc., To help us read better and improve reading efficiency.
I have finished reading this book. It is a very practical book. It explains in detail how to arrange time for reading reasonably, read books that are meaningful to life and work, how to take notes and archives, don't waste time on best-sellers, and the purpose of reading is to increase your own value and do your job well. However, there is no explanation on how to read a book in 1.5 Hours and 2.5 Hours. It's a pity.
Very good. It is a set of efficient reading methods summarized from my own reading experience. It is very suitable for the actual situation of normal office workers. It gives many good suggestions and methods to people who want to study but don't know how to read. Let's start changing and practicing. 💪🏻
I have gained something. I have a problem with reading. I like to take notes while reading, which makes my progress in reading very slow. The book states that after reading the book, you can write notes based on your own understanding, which is more applicable to me. In addition, time is like water in a sponge, and it is still squeezed. I believe everyone can do it by treating reading as an indispensable part of life and making continuous efforts every day.
Busy at work and no time? Therefore, we must read methodically, read the books we need and use immediately, clarify the purpose of reading, take the initiative to read, and use the books after reading, which is the best reading effect.
Mastering the information and taking action is the key.
It is a book worth reading, especially for those who are confused about reading content, reading goals, and reading methods. It is even more worthwhile to find the answers you want from this book. Every reading is a journey to find answers. I hope everyone can find their own answers!
People often say that reading is useless. These people complain that after reading a hundred books, their lives still have not changed. We often say that reading makes people progress, but this also requires hard work. First, we must read a good book, secondly, we must understand the principles in the book, and finally, we must apply the knowledge in the book to our daily life, so that it will have a real impact on us. This book teaches us how to choose good books and how to read to improve reading quality and efficiency. Reading pays attention to methods.
This book may not be suitable for me now in college, but I have also learned many methods and viewpoints, which are also useful.
Worth recommending to everyone around me⭐️
Lots of useful information, worth reading
A very practical book.
Learning changes life
Although the method used by the author is simple and easy to implement, it may not be completed if many people follow it.
The book mentions that it is a good idea to practice what you have learned and apply what you have learned. We must take the initiative to read with questions so that we can remember them.
From now on, I will write a file for every book I read! Very practical reading method
Experience first-hand relevant concepts ➕ new methods
It's not about teaching speed, but about the correct way to read. It mentions a lot of blind spots and methods when reading, as well as other personal improvement content. The writing is simple and crude enough, so I give it 5 stars.
Find a reading method that suits you, read quickly and efficiently through practice, read with purpose, and read actively
The book is good, the explanation is clear and the views are unique, worth sharing~
Not bad, easy to understand. There is no need to look any further. Set reading time to improve reading efficiency. After reading one, read another.
