Benjamin, i have only recently found your videos, and I see that you have been at it for a while. As a teacher of English, I value the insights you bring to the human learning process. But what's really thrilling is to see that you are not static, you are always evolving. You analyze your own mental processes, which become part of the data that informs your persentations, I hope you are beginning to write the book about your personal learning development. Meanwhile, I'll be watching you and doing some active recall as I apply your insights to my own work.

There are a lot of KZreadr, who teach you how to study, and how to learn, and do well in school… I must say with no exaggeration… You are the number one best I have ever seen. I say that as somebody who has been trying to learn from these KZreadrs for 10 years now. You single-handedly have the best advice.

Hey Benjamin, I'm currently a physics grad student getting ready to take my qualifying exam for the third time. I have ADHD and struggle with organizing my learning, especially when I'm supposed to cover a broad range of topics. I would be really interested in learning more about your take on applying these learning tools when it's a struggle to organize your learning in the first place. Perhaps you can discuss ways to organize learning technical subjects at multiple levels, such as learning for the first time or refreshing. Anyway, great content and I'm looking forward to diving deeper into your catalog of videos!

Finding this channel is like winning the lottery. If you truly internalize the information learnt here and manage to apply and refine it in a way that works for you, you’ll learn information, make sense of and retain it in a way that you would’ve never thought possible before. I don’t do this often but these videos are genuinely worth re-watching many times to truly get the point.

Great video! Would love to see updates in the future. Keeping track of various "themes"/"plots" throughout the book in a free-form way that makes sense to **ME** is one of those things which seems intuitive in hindsight but would have taken me ages to figure out for myself. Thank you for making this.

Great video. This walk through of what you are doing and how you would do it differently is really helpful.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to make this incredible video. I was trying to figure out what's the best way I can learn neuropathophysiology when I stumbled upon this video. Your video was incredibly easy to follow since you provided a concrete example of how you actually apply your techniques. I began using your techniques with neuropathophysiology and not only has the subject become far more sensible but I also find it much more interesting now. If you can make more videos similar to this tackling different types of subjects, it would be an amazing help to students like us. Thank you again!

I enjoyed seeing how you learn a book and would like to see more. The humor is great. Thank you. Please make more.

Ben, im a hs student whos always been so interested in neuroscience, and it was so fun to see you apply the concepts i knew about learning to learning from books. thank you for the great example!

Such a great video. I keep coming back to this now and then to see what i can do better. Thanks Benjamin!

Great video! I love conversing with myself through note-taking! Identifying themes is great for organizing concepts, and it can also help us emotionally engage as we explore meaning. While my husband isn’t always interested in hearing me talk about books, discussing books with others always enriches my perspective and understanding. 😅

please make updates to this. you are undoubtedly one of my favourite channels!

Hello! Thank you for the video! I'm a med student, and books tend to be my main source of study. I usually take notes from the book I'm currently studying, test myself on that and - maybe the most important thing - I keep updating those notes with new knowledge from other books, my practice and tips from more experienced doctors. I'd very much appreciate new videos about the topic!

This video was INCREDIBLE! Thanks!!!

Hey Benjamin, just came across your channel and this video is excellent, really insightful and thought provoking. Thank you for making this video 🙏🏻 🙌

I really enjoy these videos! Thank you very much for sharing your experience!

OMG , I just started doing the MIRO thing. it is an incredible software and helps me mind map my knowledge because its how i think . LOVE YOUR STUFF

thank you. this system description and reflection is really helpful to my own meta-system development.

I'm glad you talked about what's in the notes vs what's in the brain.

I'd be interested if you reviewed apps like Obsidian Canvas (instead of Miro) and Readwise Reader for scheduled recall on book notes in particular! You can combine "writing for learning" with apps that do the visualization for you, or where the connections are done through "linking your thinking" but more through writing than fancy graphics (and can even be coded). It might be an excellent option for your own learning or "sense making through words", with a supportive infrastructure that gives you visualizations as an added bonus while you just write and connect things. You can always use paper to discard recalls but using software for permanent and connected notes!

It would be great to have you layer on this first video. I'm particularly interested in how "learning from a book" would translate when it comes to other genres/topics - for example, what does this look like for medical students?

I second this. I’m looking for a novel way to train Veterinary anesthetists, and rote recitation of facts and sink-or-swim is the common method of training. For complex and integrated systems, it’s hard to find a new way, but I see *such* a need with the lack of application of knowledge

Yes, please make an update to this video. This was really helpful!

I like this video a lot, Benjamin, and I would love to watch more of them from you. Thanks,

Very interesting video and would love to see you tackle different subjects and see how you would change things

Hello Benjamin, thank you very much for the video. I am currently in the process of studying physics and your methods have been helpful. I'm doing free recall and self-studying a lot and on lectures I'm only writing down equations which I come back to later. This video gave me the idea to experiment with semi-flashcards of equations and describing them later. I would definitely be interested in a follow-up video on the book studying topic.

WOW ! Some of the things mentioned in this video are so important to keep in mind when we approach books. A challenging book that continues new information is a book we want to engage with in multiple ways, and read it more than once or twice, if we want to increase our understanding of the material.

I see understanding as identifying and connecting different ideas focusing on their similarities, differences and relationship to a larger theme.

Great great video Benjamin, thanks, help me a lot

wow such a great concept. Please dive deeper into this.

Great! I would love more videos along these lines (how best to learn from books, especially books that are concept heavy like history, philosophy, etc.. rather than data heavy like science, math books).

Yes, I like this kind of thing. I'm older (70) and still a lot of things I want to explore and learn. I've got this kind of long reading list. Because time is now shorter for me, it's very valuable to learn to be more efficient learning from those book. So, more please. Thanks

Hi Benjamin, yes this was very helpful, I'd definitely be interested in seeing how you would apply this to a math or science text (I saw your video on textbook reading, but I'd love to see specifics). Also, any thoughts on IT/dev ops/programming books, I find those often encourage code along/follow along approaches that 1) aren't actually helping me remember anything (I've seen people call it "developing muscle memory", as if you're somehow teaching your fingers how to code) and 2) doesn't lead to any sort if deep understanding of the technology itself (e.g. knowing how to fill in a GUI form for building an Amazon AWS server vs actually understanding what it is you've built).

Thanks for all this videos. Listening to you talking about all this I started to think that maybe your book could have done a better job helping you understand and remember. A concrete example would be to incluide a map. As a teacher desining my own materials after a decade of using other's, it's interesting for me to try to apply all this technics to designing and writing better material. Thanks for all the work! This channel has been very useful. Now my tests are interleaved, spaced out, etc.

It was very interesting. I hope there will be another video about the next big book with more details, for example how frequently you are taking notes and do you focus on the chapter you read lately or rather not. And if you always give yourself some time to digest before you write anything. And if you really concentrate only on main themes (sometimes minor information is the most interesting). The next video could be with some tips on how to replicate your process.

Hi Benjamin. Your videos are great. Years ago, I learned a lot from the book Make it Stick, now your videos seems to me as a perfect complement. My two cents: I think that one never is really done with a good book in the same way that any topic has infinite depth. Rereading a book after reading another book on the same topic can be enlightening. I like your way of putting things when you say that a book is a tool to make sense of something. The book per se is unimportant (I am not saying that the work of the author is meaningless, just saying that the important things is how we interact with the world, and the book are just a tool from that world)

That book you have in your hand is one of the most fascinating books I have ever read it is one of my most favorite. It was as if stepping into his fantasy novel.

AMAZING Video it,s been very helpful in my personal learn thank you so much

When I made Mindmaps, the effort of organizing and reorganizing the map resulted in understanding. I think that's because of the multiple organization principles you're forced to consider

Great. This was Justin Sung's one of earlier videos, creation of prior knowledge after each layer of learning one after the other Which is way better than Rote free recall and active recall. This is what I have been doing for a very long time. But this technique is very hard to teach. Edit: Follow this by free recall as a revision method. This way you have both encoding and retrieval together

Thanks for the video, always insightful. I find memory palaces particularly fun for history subject, since I get to imagine the historical figures and cities.

Thank you so much, Benjamin. Your clarity of thought, consistency in quality, and humour are unparalleled. Would love to know if you recommend Miro (and if so, which templates you use), or any other tools. I too prefer writing my thoughts, as opposed to using visualisations. As always, looking forward to all future videos from you. All the best to you, family, and Elmo.

On Miro: I like it as a flexible visualization software. But, to be honest, I really don't use it that often. I've liked Clickup, too, which has some overlap functions as an organizational tool. I'm just not really a fancy app person. And I don't know if I just don't give myself enough time to figure out how to use them effectively or something else. Mostly it's Keynote or Scrivener or paper and pencil if I want to be alone with my thoughts. Used to use Sketch to prototype visualizations, too. The fancier apps can be good for presenting things, once you've refined them. But my tendency is to use more basic stuff.

Benjamin, I'd love to listen to your thoughts on "incremental reading".

Very good way to think n study n reserch ;) thanks alot

glad to see im not the only one making notes in tables

Thank you

One idea I toy a lot with lately is that retrieval is the biggest false metric we all fall for in trying to measure our learning. Rather, the best test is the skill you are trying to acquire, which in this case may be explaining Chinese history or using it to add context to and explain aspects of Chinese culture. I come to this conclusion because in my learning a second language while sleep deprived this past year, I found that sleep deprivation hurt my retrieval but it did not hurt my learning because when I am wakeful I read and listen in the language shockingly well and even understand all those complicated little Chinese characters quite well. So I think that good learning is just making many connections, seeing information in lots of contexts, and thinking about the significance of that information, and less so about the performative skill of retrieval, which while useful and desirable, is ultimately easily cheated if we prioritize it. I'm still on the fence if the act of transcribing helps much, because as you mentioned the important work is happening in the mind and I quite easily do that work in my mind without the benefit of paper (・∀・)

@@nelson6814 I do not deny that retrieval practice is a study method of some effectiveness. Mainly I am saying that just because we fail to recall something doesn't mean we need to study it more often or aren't learning it. It gets in there over time as we understand it better, so the intervals between seeing a piece of information can be very long indeed even if we find ourselves having to look it up the first 2 or 3 times. The more common response to failing to recall something is to study it more often or give up thinking you're not learning or getting better, something many spaced repetition programs have built in when they reset intervals or slow them down--entirely unnecessarily and with no basis in science.

I found this really useful. I especially liked your comments about '[learning materials] are to learn from' and the point is to "make sense" for them. Please do keep videos like this coming.

Lots of suggestions to use Retrieval, but not saying Retrieval. I like it

Great video

this makes me realize why my ADHD has actually been helping me with my intellect. A lot it's positive characteristics have resonated into affinities such as for these concepts. Switching interests and tasks in the right conditions is a recipe for a smart child with a good thinking foundation. My understanding of any material to this day is praised. I'm still a nobody tho. Emotional trauma can still stunt many aspects of maturity growth. :p

1. **Understand, Don’t Just Memorize**: Focus on really getting the ideas, not just memorizing facts. This means putting the ideas together in your head in a way that makes sense to you. 2. **Sort Your Info**: To get a topic, arrange and rearrange the info you have. This helps you see patterns and big ideas, which makes it easier to remember and understand. 3. **Start with What You Know**: Begin with the main ideas and what you already understand, then look up anything you’re missing. This creates a strong starting point for more learning. 4. **Mix Your Ideas with the Book**: Combine what you think with what the book says. This way, you see things from different sides and understand better. 5. **Think Critically with Notes**: Your notes should show how you're thinking through the material. Asking questions and analyzing the info helps you learn in a deeper way. 6. **Use Pictures and Maps**: Draw diagrams or maps to connect ideas visually. This can make it clearer how things fit together and help you remember. 7. **Look Back and Reflect**: Regularly think about what you’ve learned and how you learned it. This helps improve how you study. 8. **Apply What You Learn**: Use what you know in new situations. This shows you really understand and remember it better. 9. **Teach and Talk About It**: Explaining things to others, or even to yourself, really boosts your understanding. Talking with others can also give you new ideas. 10. **Review and Use Tools**: Go back to the material from time to time and use tools like ChatGPT or join discussions online. This keeps the learning strong over time and makes it deeper.

Will write a summary of this video, soon.

I saw a book on your shelf in a video from 2 years ago that looked like my book I'm reading but I couldn't make it out. Came to a new video to see if if I'd be able to see it in another video and instead it was actually a video about the book itself. What a strange cosmic coincidence...

Books are the finest repository of knowledge known to man. Of course I want more ideas on how to effectively learn from books.

I really enjoyed it! You are (always!) quite generous (and funny)! If I would have taken notes... I wouldn't have to play it twice 😁 My brain was already preparing himself to leave a (funny) remark about your beautiful and softly-fluffy red wife... but fortunately I watched your video with more attention during the second time 😅 As an undiagnosed-ADHDer 🤔 I have only wondered about the best approach to achieve the best from a book. Once (upon a time...) I even engaged in transcribing the best parts of a book while reading it (and by hand - considering it would "stick" better)... until I stopped myself from transcribing the whole book. If using an Ebook App, it usually offers that Quotes/Highlight thing... that you can imagine how profusely I'd be using that feature 😵‍💫 So you can imagine how interesting I've found your free-recall exercise. Quite daunting too! It takes everything to another level. Amazing! So... I guess I can only say I used some of these methods on... TV series 😑. During the "Dark" series, a timeline-generational "map" was very needed to follow along it from the start. And, very recently, I was watching a National Geographic series. During the second episode - while realising it would cover a different theme - I started making connections with the first episode's interviewed people... that I couldn't even remember their names. Maybe if I had taken notes IMDB wouldn't have been needed 😁 [ Now I'm imagining myself during sex... while hitting perfectly a certain spot: - Love, just wait a second while I take some notes and draw a map to your "treasure"... Um... this might not be a very good idea... 🤔] PS: Now even more seriously, after your collaborative idea with your beautiful and softly-fluffy yellow collaborator, I imagined that you could be The One to create a new social network about books/reading. How about calling it Readdit or Readingit? 😁 It could be the perfect way to build that important community you mentioned about readers, so they could exchange ideas about a book after finishing. For example, they could create a Book-Reading event when they were about to finish a book, saying: "This will be the book I will start in a few days... it is about this... and seems interesting because of that..." suggesting it to others that could be about to start a new one. Others could follow this suggestion and then be prepared to gather together in the discussion with a more fresher mind about its contents. Just an idea...

Hey hey Benjamin! When you're rereading are you starting from the beginning of the book, chapter, or are you flipping through the pages trying to find the information? How do you find what you don't know, 🤣. This sounds like it would be a pain in the ass on an ebook. I'd probably have to utilize my kindle's table of contents and bookmarks. I love this video and I'm looking forward to implementing free recall and the other organization techniques in my non fiction reading.

Hey, may you create a video about how to cue recall when you need it?

I need you to create a videos about how to find out relationship between concepts in a text , and a several example about what kind of relationship we could find out. And why do we have to comparison concepts to figure out what is similar and different and why it's beneficial for our learning. And about grouping ideal together and how we group them , can I group them by common Or by relationships . I take These ideas from Justin sung video about bloom taxonomy and mind map ( sorry for my poorly English 😅😅 ) and

do you plan your days or intentionally build new habits? I've read some books about it, but the sources of information in those books are rather outdated, I am curious about your opinion on this. And this video is really helpful, thanks.

Hi! I participate in high school policy debate which is an activity where I have to research/learn a lot about a certain topic and policies related to it (this year it's basic income, job guarantee's, and social security). I want to understand the literature as deeply as I can so I can make nuanced arguments, rebuttals, and questions. However, it's not feasible for me to do free recall on every single article, paper, book I read. It would take too long. Do you have any recommendations on when to incorporate active recall and how in this context?

Hi Benjamin. Your videos on free recall really helped me study for the first CompTIA A+ exam, and, though I think the second will be easier, I think the strategies in this video might be helpful for it as well as consolidating all of the information.

Appreciate the kind words.

I wonder if you have any videos like this (or ideas for videos) on retaining understandings of more abstract concepts? I'm a grad student in English/Literature and find it difficult to apply a lot of the examples I find online to what I work with. I'm thinking about philosophical theories, critical theories, economic theories, mostly. I've watched some philosophy PhD's talk about how they slog thru Hegel or whatever but I'm convinced there must be a better, more specific, science-backed way than paraphrasing at the each section... I also need to figure out a bettersystem for reading poems and fictional texts too but that one's going to have to be my own journey in which I figure out which elements or bits of analysis I personally find most important to pull from the text. The closer it is to my primary research focus, the easier it is to retain because I'm reading FOR something... I do struggle with reading stuff outside of my focus. Love these videos, though! I read a lot of historical info too in order to contextualize my readings and this is immensely helpful. Flash card methods especially don't work when I'm specifically learning the info in order to connect it to the core literary texts from a specific time period! Thinking about historical info in terms of connections and intertextuality is the only way I've ever succeeded!

Could you talking about focus and diffuse mode please

my strategy pretend to teach a 5 years old kid , which means understanding to depths , add some visualisation of concepts note taking in questions so that it easy use to make like active recall making relations to the topic you know either similarities or difference spaced revision

I’m curious what your take is on typing/electronic note taking versus pencil/paper. I have read that handwriting tends to help retention? Do you find that to be the case?

Hey, I have been wondering if you could reccomend a book about introduction to learning?

Good shit.

I didn't even watch the video and I already put a like.

Seems useful. Maybe history classes would have been more interesting if it hadn't only been framed as meaningless names, titles, and dates with nothing else to them. Something watching this brought up is how going back and forth across the same material in different ways can be helpful. Often find it very difficult to go through the same material source more than once. Even if there has been significant time between readings and starting another read through things are standing out as being "effectively new"; they don't often hold the attention enough to continue on. As if there is some form of importance of the novelty found limiter that has been put on. Curious if there are studies showing causing such mechanisms to happen; and others for disrupting it to re-engage learning and or engagement in learning. A different framing question: What effects the required "willpower" portion for the learning process vs the improvements of recall and understanding? Found getting to see multiple approaches to sensitizing yourself to different aspects a great and rare thing to find. Really like the example and demonstration coupled with framing way of going about things in your videos. Seems like so many act as if in avoidance of: example, demonstration, and developing meaningful discernments in framing; as opposed to a more "I'm telling you" having frames pushed only for trying to control - even to the denial of understanding and its development. The sensitizing approach reminds me a bit of a quote by Moshe Feldenkrais, "To increase the sensitivity, decrease the contrast." Would be curious to know more about this "scaffolding" development you mention and examples of what it is like during that process. Most physical scaffolding see is very pre-built and the end aim is a very clear target to assemble and problem solve towards. What kinds of things are useful for when those aren't so clear?
