Ойын-сауық
Here’s my system to retain more of what I read. I use Notion as a second brain to store important notes & key takeaways.

Hey there, glad you enjoyed it! Tough question, it depends on the genre. Here are some of my all-time favorites: - The stranger, Albert Camus. - Tuesdays with Morrie, Mitch Albom. - Steppenwolf, Herman Hesse. - The tunnel, Ernesto Sabato. - A million miles in a thousand years, Donald Miller. Let me know what genres you are into, and I will send more recommendations!!

I really enjoyed stillness is the key, I think it’s part of a series with other 2 books, ego is the enemy and the obstacle is the way. Great books all of them
Thanks for the vid! I’ve gotten in the habit of using Day One so I have a folder that says “Book summaries” where I log pretty much the same thing you do. Another reason I really enjoy journaling it is because in a year it’ll just pop back up as a memory and it gives me a nice little refresh. Plus you can always use the search option if you want to access it anytime.
Another Banger as usual. Love to watch your videos while making the morning coffee. Thanks mate !

very great video Robert :) I used to use a Kindle, read books, highlighted, Readwise synchronisation and everything dropped in Notion. Maybe lazy, maybe actually not interested, I rarely invested time to go through those highlights. I rediscovered reading actual printed books, being able to scroll back, re-read, see the whole context of my highlights. I will also manually insert them in Notion, but this additional layer of review is what it makes so valuable. Glad to see someone else doing this!

Hey buddy!! Thanks, yeah I find retaining way more doing things the old way
I'm reading the Laws of Human Nature right now. I've got a long way to gooo but I'm really enjoying it. And this vid came at the perfect time, I needed these tips. So much in this book I want to remember but probably won't lol. I find that making these changes in the book in real time and journaling on my phone has helped :)

WHen I'm reading a book on my phone, I usually highlight everything and then I use my old SE iphone with not updated ios to list and offload all the quotes and highlights into the mail and then into Notes. Cant move to Notion complete tho but in notion I keep a list of all my books to read) Maybe someone will find my method helpful

A lot of people of all stripes found a lot to like in his 12 Principles. But he creates so many straw man arguments with non-existent concepts like “Cultural Marxism” it is difficult to take him seriously. There are better authors to use as a model for learning.

Knowledge and wisdom are not the same. It’s perfectly consistent to say that Peterson has vast knowledge yet is unwise, and vice versa.

If you read Ali’s book you will find loads of things from KZread and Reddit. Almost all of his stories you would have come across before online. Doesn’t mean it’s less valuable but if you going to make such comments. Buy Ali’s book. It’s a nice read and will keep from making comments like this.
