| Hey hey, Nik here with 3 book summaries for you to learn from this weekend. This week's headliner will help you get more out of literally every next nonfiction book you read. I present: 10 Days To Faster Reading by Abby Marks-Beale When I originally wrote this summary, I thought that most people don't upgrade their reading skills beyond high school. But actually, nowadays, I sincerely feel that most people can't read at all. It's not the skill itself—clearly, they can piece sentences together. It's that they can't sustain their attention on a piece of writing for more than a few seconds. It feels like all anyone ever does anymore is skim-read, if that. Of course, AI is only making it worse. It summarizes everything and throws out 3 bullets, which feels great and fast but comes at a great cost: literally all of the context and depth of the piece. In that sense, 10 Days To Faster Reading isn't just a hack—it's a reminder to actually use and develop your ability to read. The book is like a 10-day course in which you run various reading experiments. Then, you can stick with the results that work for you and drop the ones that don't. Abby-Marks Beale, a speed and accelerated learning expert, wrote it together with The Princeton Language Institute. Whether you think you lack the time, the attention, or the memory to read properly, this book will give you a stretch of rope to hold onto and pull yourself out of the hole. Here's what you'll learn in today's video:
