تدريب Shadowing: How To Become Dangerously Self-Educated (with AI) - تعلم التحدث بالإنجليزية عبر الفيديو

Count the last five books you finished.

How many changed how you think, decide, communicate, or succeed?

If the answer is none, you're not alone.

Most people read books and forget them, but the top 1% read to change something and to become dangerously smart.

For those of you who are new here, I've been the CEO, board member, and investor in billion-dollar tech companies,

And I want to show you a system that helps you read better, learn faster, remember what matters,

and use AI to turn what you've read into something that helps you win the rune.

So let's get started.

There are three myths we carry around about reading, remembering, and learning.

The first myth is a story we tell ourselves about how we learn.

I am a visual learner.

I need to hear something to retain it.

I only learn by doing.

Now, these all feel true, but researchers across four major universities spent years looking for some evidence for this.

Do visual learners actually learn better visually?

Do auditory learners actually retain more by listening?

Turns out, there was very little evidence that our preferred learning style improves our learning and retention.

Now, this surprising myth costs us dearly, because that self-inflicted limitation that we put on ourselves becomes our identity.

The label creates the ceiling.

Now, the second myth is even more subtle.

If a book explains something clearly, we assume that we understood it clearly.

Our brains are very good at lying to us.

In one study from Yale University,

people were asked how well did they understand everyday objects like bicycles or zippers or toilets, and they all felt confident,

until they had to explain, step by step, how those objects actually functioned.

Then their confidence completely collapsed.

This is the illusion of fluency.

And those myths create three interesting reading traps.

There is the highlighter trap, where you mark the sentence and mistake that marking for memory.

There is the summary trap, where you make perfect notes that you will never ever read again.

There is the completion trap.

So the book is done, but nothing has been formed inside you.

But now comes the biggest myth of all, and it comes from AI.

If AI can summarize the book, why do I need to read it?

But you know, AI has already read almost all books on this planet.

You are not going to grow your muscles if you haven't done a single push-up yourself.

So ask AI to summarize a book and it will do a fine job instantly.

And you'll feel like you've read it, but you haven't wrestled with its core ideas.

Can you explain it?

Can you remember it?

Can you use it?

You know, the more AI makes reading feel optional, the more we need a better way to read.

That's the path to the top 1%.

If you want to change the way you think, you have to change the way you read.

And that's the system we're going to build here in this video.

Reading was never just about books.

It was about training for complexity.

you follow an argument, hold to opposing ideas in your head, change your mind when the new evidence comes,

and form an opinion that actually belongs to you.

The difference between a passive reader and a serious one is not speed reading anymore.

It is your position.

Are you sitting outside the book, watching the author think, or are you becoming an actor in the story that is unfolding in front of you.

That's the system you need to build.

I call that framework actor.

And the framework has five moves inside it.

We'll go through each step in detail through the video, but here's something to keep in mind.

In this framework, AI belongs inside of each move, but never as a shortcut.

You are still the actor.

AI is the sidekick.

That changes the entire experience.

Let's start with A for AIM.

Most people read a book as tourists.

The best readers read it as a spy.

In 2008, Lin-Manuel Miranda picked up the biography of Alexander Hamilton.

He was on vacation and the book was 800 pages long.

And when he was reading it, he was just looking for something to read on the beach.

But Miranda had a lifelong obsession that he carried everywhere,

hip hop, immigration, and this idea that words are how people with nothing build everything.

That obsession was his mission.

And when that passion connected with that book, with Hamilton's story, something inside of Miranda ignited.

The mission changed the material.

And Miranda was inspired to write a Broadway musical called Hamilton,

which of course became one of the most successful Broadway shows in history.

Same pages, different mission, different impact.

Your purpose turns any reading from consumption to construction.

So before you read, just write one sentence.

I am reading this book because I need to XYZ.

That blank is your mission.

You might read one book for leadership principles, another as a travelogue, another to understand your relationship with money.

But without that one sentence, the book will decide what matters.

With that sentence, with your purpose, you decide what to hunt for.

And what if you don't know what the mission is yet?

Well, that's where AI can help.

You can always ask before you read, I'm about to read this book.

Give me three questions that I should carry into it so I read with purpose, not just passively.

Or reverse the whole idea.

I'm trying to deal with a dysfunctional team at work.

Which book would serve that purpose?

And what questions should I carry into it?

You're still the actor.

AI is the framer.

It helps you articulate what you need before the book starts shaping it for you.

So before your next serious book or an article or a memo or a research paper, write the mission statement down.

Just one sentence.

And also remember that a great book is nothing but a doorway to another great book.

Now C stands for compress.

Don't read a book to collect more.

Read it to carry less.

Elon Musk once described knowledge as a tree.

100

Before you collect the leaves, you need to see where the trunk is and how the branches are formed.

101

Otherwise, the leaves will have nothing to hold on to.

102

It's a very simple metaphor.

103

but it explains why so much of what we read disappears from our mind.

104

Because we don't focus on seeing the tree or the trunk.

105

So what is the trunk?

106

It is the book's core central idea.

107

The idea that holds everything else together.

108

The branches are the major chapters or arguments, and the leaves are the examples,

109

the quotes, the stories, and the details.

110

And you know, most people read as if they're just collecting leaves.

111

A great quote here, a highlighted sentence there, a screenshot, a clever paragraph or a photograph.

112

But they miss the load-bearing idea.

113

They miss the trunk.

114

This is compression.

115

A book is not meant to be carried page by page.

116

It has to be compressed into something your mind can hold.

117

That does not mean dumbing it down.

118

That just means that you have to find a structure that makes all the details meaningful.

119

Aim is about finding the root.

120

Compress is about finding the trunk.

121

Now, some books have very clear trunks, like Atomic Habits, or Grit, or Start With Why, and some others are harder,

122

like Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, The Innovator's Dilemma or Narcissus and Goldman.

123

These are great books, but they're not very easy to understand.

124

In those cases, when you can't see the trunk very clearly, you can go back to AI because AI becomes your interpreter.

125

Ask, I think the load-bearing idea in this book is X.

126

Check my interpretation.

127

What did I miss?

128

What did I misunderstand?

129

What did I overstate?

130

Because you know, if you look at a tree, leaves can't exist without branches and branches need a trunk.

131

So if you only collect leaves, you won't be able to see the shape of the book, the shape of the tree.

132

So after each reading, write a short version of the key idea, the takeaway, and then go back to AI and challenge your interpretation.

133

And that's the compression you need before you move to the next step.

134

Next is T for test.

135

The best readers don't read to agree.

136

They read to find what they won't reject.

137

In a classic Stanford study, people with strong views on the death penalty were shown mixed evidence.

138

Now, you would think that mixed evidence would make people feel more balanced.

139

It did the exact opposite.

140

People attacked the evidence they disliked and praised the evidence they already agreed with

141

and walked away even more convinced that they were right all along.

142

And that is why one of the most interesting reading habits is what I heard about from Bill Gates.

143

He has said that when he disagrees with a he writes even more feverishly in the margins.

144

He does not treat disagreement as a reason to quit.

145

He makes a point to think harder about those ideas.

146

Now think about us.

147

Most of us underline and highlight all the parts that flatter our point of view.

148

And we discard all the ideas that don't agree with us.

149

I do it all the time.

150

So read like you are a spy in the anime's camp.

151

You're not there to surrender.

152

Of course, you're there to steal information you find useful.

153

A serious reader can disagree with the author and still leave with something very valuable.

154

Because testing is where reading becomes self-discovery.

155

The moment you reject a paragraph, ask whether you found a flaw in the book or it was bruising your own ego or your belief system.

156

And you can always ask, why did that bother me so much?

157

What belief am I protecting or holding onto?

158

Where is the author right?

159

Where is he or she wrong?

160

What would I have to believe if I were arguing the opposite?

161

This is where AI becomes super useful as an opponent.

162

The best thing AI can do is to become your sparring partner.

163

Ask AI, challenge my interpretation, find the hidden assumption that I'm making,

164

give me your best counter-argument and describe a situation where this advice will fail.

165

All of that helps you embrace that book more gently.

166

You know, if a book only makes you comfortable, it's not gonna change you.

167

Next is OWN.

168

At Washington University in St. Louis, researchers gave students short reading passages.

169

Some students were told to read the passages again and again, and others were told to look away and try to recall what they had just read.

170

Now the first group felt very confident in the short run, but in the long run, the other group was able to recall much more clearly.

171

So looking away from what you're reading

172

and then rehashing it in your own way is one of the best ways to own it.

173

The weird thing about reading a book again is that you'll feel comfortable because it feels familiar.

174

But the only way to own it is not to just reread it, but to relive it in your own words.

175

Now, the second way to own it is to connect it with something real in your life.

176

Maybe a meeting, a mistake, a company, a situation, a conversation, a person, an old belief.

177

Give it some meaning because meaning gives memory a place to live.

178

And the third test, which is one of my favorite ones, is the simplest, teach it to someone.

179

Even if you're teaching it to a wall, if you cannot teach it, you do not own it yet.

180

By teaching it, you're moving the idea from the page into your mind.

181

So after every book or a long form article that you read, explain the book in a paragraph or two just for yourself.

182

And again, this is where AI becomes a fantastic coach.

183

You can ask your favorite AI, help me explain this idea in plain English.

184

Connect it to one business example or one personal experience or one analogy.

185

Anything you can do to contextualize it and own it.

186

Or do what I do sometimes.

187

I teach it to AI and ask if I'm hitting all the right notes.

188

Buying a book means that you own the object.

189

The hard part is to own what's inside it.

190

Are is run.

191

Books have always been civilization software updates, right?

192

Every major religion has a core text.

193

The Bible, the Gita, the Quran, the Torah.

194

Newton's Principia rewired minds toward science.

195

Mein Kampf rewired minds toward violence.

196

So a book can build a future or it can burn it down.

197

So the question isn't whether a book changes the world.

198

It can.

199

The question is whether it changes you.

200

You know, MIT's motto is mind and hand.

201

Because thinking isn't enough and it's not finished until it helps you build something real

202

that could change something in the real world.

203

A communication book should change a conversation.

204

A money book should change a decision.

205

A leadership book should change how you run your team.

206

I'll give you my example.

207

When I read this book called Crucial Conversations, it did more than just inspire me.

208

It changed how I behaved and what I noticed during real crucial conversations.

209

I became more aware of three things, whether I was making the room emotionally safe for everyone,

210

whether I mastered my own story that I was telling myself, and whether we were building a shared pool of meaning.

211

These are all concepts from the book.

212

Now, am I really good at crucial conversations?

213

Of course not.

214

I've made plenty of mistakes and mishandled many crucial conversations and paid dearly for some of them, but that's not the point.

215

The true power of the book is that it can interrupt the way you used to run your life.

216

It gives you awareness and that's where changes happen.

217

And this is also where AI becomes your action companion.

218

Ask it.

219

Turn this idea into one decision, one rule, one checklist, one experiment.

220

Anything you can do to change words into actions.

It's free.

224

And you know, in the age of AI, everyone is going to have access to the same summaries.

225

Everyone's going to ask the same key takeaways.

226

Everyone will generate the same polished notes.

227

The edge is no longer your access to intelligence.

228

The real edge is what you bring to it as a human being.

229

Your judgment, your taste, and a point of view that is uniquely yours.

230

But there's also a much deeper benefit in reading.

231

Because after a while, the books you read start reading you.

232

And by that, I mean they help you reveal the stories that you tell yourself,

233

the fears you protect, the assumptions that you've inherited, and the parts of life that you still don't understand.

234

You know, a great book works like a great song.

235

You hear it once and you enjoy it, then you hear it again years later,

236

and somehow that song knows exactly where you are in your life.

237

The song didn't change.

238

You did.

239

And that's why I'm yet to meet a great leader who does not read.

240

because the deeper you read, the better you start reading people.

241

You read the room better.

242

You read silence better.

243

That's why serious leaders are serious readers.

244

I'll see you next week.

245

Thank you and I love you.
