Ders oluşturuluyor...
1
These are all the books that I read in 2010, 10 years ago.
2
That's 14 books.
3
Not too bad.
4
But these are the books I read in 2020.
5
Oh, shit.
6
That's 81 books.
7
Watch this video and you get 5 tips on how to read more books each year
8
and how to remember what the fuck you read.
9
What's up everybody, Mark Manson here.
10
You know, Harry S.
11
Truman once said that not all readers are leaders, but all leaders read.
12
There's a reason that reading has been around for 5,000 years, it fucking works.
13
It makes you smarter, makes you more empathetic, makes you more self-aware, entertains the shit out of you.
14
I mean, what else could you want?
15
Reading is one of those things that everybody seems to wish they did more.
16
If you don't read any books, you wish you read a few.
17
If you read a few books, you wish you read a lot.
18
And if you read a lot, then you're really aware of all the cool stuff that you don't have time to read.
19
Since my job is to just read stuff all day and then regurgitate it to people with poop jokes and F-bombs, I figured that I would sit down
20
and go through some of the biggest things
21
that have helped me become a better reader over the years and help you read more books and read better books.
22
And at the end of the video, I'm gonna talk about how you can remember more of what you read and you'll be surprised.
23
It has nothing to do with a highlighter or taking notes.
24
All right, so tip number one, Cut the inner monologue.
25
This is probably something you don't even realize that you do.
26
Most people don't, but when you read, there's that little voice inside your head talking out each and every word to you.
27
For instance, you might read, the man turned and deceptively smiled, acknowledging the expectations upon him,
28
even though he had no intention of fulfilling them.
29
The reason you read these words aloud to yourself in your own head is because that's how you learn to read.
30
When we're little snot-nosed kids, we're taught to sound out each and every syllable and each and every word.
31
And so we develop this mental habit of enunciating every single sound in our minds as we read.
32
Now there's a problem with this.
33
It's fucking slow and you don't need to do it.
34
I don't need to sound out deceptively to know what deceptively means.
35
I'm fucking 36 years old.
36
I know what deceptively means.
37
What's incredible is that you can quickly train yourself to turn off your inner monologue.
38
Try it.
39
Try reading something without sounding out the words in your head.
40
You'll find that your eyes can actually move much quicker than the little voice in your head can move.
41
Now, this is weird at first, and of course it takes practice.
42
But as you get better at it, you will naturally find your reading ability to speed up.
43
Tip number two, read with your finger.
44
Now, this one sounds weird, and you're going to feel like a doofus sitting there with your computer screen moving your finger back and forth.
45
But it's surprising how much it helps.
46
Now the reason for this is that our eyes are actually not completely stable.
47
Now when we read text that's in front of us, our eyes kind of naturally jump around and it takes mental effort to keep our eyes focused on each line.
48
This is why a lot of times when you're reading, you lose your spot.
49
You forget which line you're on.
50
You read the same line twice.
51
Sometimes you read a line and your brain will insert the word from below into the sentence that you're reading.
52
It's because our eyes do not move perfectly horizontally.
53
But if you put your finger below the words as you read, it gives your eyes something to focus on and move with, and it stabilizes them.
54
And surprisingly, this makes you read quicker.
55
In fact, a lot of people, just by using their finger to scan the text, can improve their reading speed by up to, I don't know, 20, 30%.
56
I just made that number up, but it's a lot.
57
You'll notice when you try it.
58
Using your finger to scan as you read, it works for everything.
59
You can use it with a book, you can use it on an iPad, you can use it on a computer screen.
60
Yeah, it feels weird, but it helps.
61
All right, tip number three, and this one's just a little bit more meta and practical.
62
Stop reading shit you don't like.
63
It's amazing to me, I run across this all the time, but people have this idea with books that if you start a book,
64
you have to finish every single page or else you're a fucking loser, an idiot, and a failure.
65
I don't understand why people have this attitude.
66
You don't keep watching movies you don't like.
67
You don't keep watching TV shows you don't like.
68
You skip YouTube videos that are boring.
69
Why do you force yourself to read a book that's not good?
70
It makes no sense.
71
Again, I think some of this comes back to our schooling.
72
In school, you are graded based on how much of the book you read.
73
To get a good grade, you have to read all the book.
74
Life does not work that way.
75
Take it from a nonfiction author, most nonfiction books are full of crap.
76
The average nonfiction book has two, maybe three useful chapters in it.
77
Most nonfiction books are glorified blog posts, repeated over and over and over for 200 pages.
78
If I'm reading chapter one and I get the idea
79
and then I get the chapter two
80
and the author is basically just restating the idea from chapter one in a different way, I'd fucking skip chapter two, I go to chapter three.
81
And then if chapter three is repeating the same idea in another way, I skip that one too.
82
In fact, most books, if I realize that they aren't dense with valuable information, I just go straight to the table of contents and I ask myself,
83
which chapters look interesting? oh, chapter one, three, seven, and 14.
84
Okay, I'll read those.
85
And then if I read those and they're great, maybe I'll go back and look at another chapter or find something else to read.
86
But if not, that's fine.
87
I'd say half of the books that I end up reading, I probably read half of the text in them, maybe less.
88
And you shouldn't feel bad about this.
89
The point of reading is to serve you, not for you to serve the book.
90
Similarly, if a book is just bad, fucking put it down.
91
Move on to the next one.
92
I have a personal rule.
93
I always read at least 10% of a book before I decide whether to put it down or not.
94
If it's a 200 page book, I give it 20 pages.
95
But if I hit 20 pages and I'm not into it, I look at the table of contents, nothing looks interesting, I put it away.
96
I'd say for every two books that I buy and I read, there's one book that I buy and I end up not reading because I just don't really like it.
97
And I don't feel guilty about that.
98
Finally, what you'll find when you start reading more and more is that a lot of nonfiction stuff repeats itself.
99
So at this point, I've probably read like a hundred psychology books.
100
And what you discover is that there are maybe half a dozen seminal studies in the field of psychology,
101
major, major breakthroughs in the field that get repeated all the time.
102
If I have to read about the fucking marshmallow test one more time done by Walter Mischel in 1972, I'll fucking gag.
103
So when I'm reading a book and I come across, oh, it's the marshmallow test, skip five pages, go on to the next thing.
104
You'll find all the time that authors use similar anecdotes, they use similar examples, they use similar stories,
105
and when you keep running into these things over and over again, just skip them.
106
You already know what's in them, so why read it again?
107
For some reason, out of these five tips that I always give, this one is the most surprising and most difficult for people.
108
I don't understand why people have so much emotional attachment
109
or judgment based on how many words in a book that they read.
110
For nonfiction, if you're reading every single word of every single book, you're doing it wrong.
111
Now for fiction, it's a completely different story.
112
No pun intended.
113
If a fiction book's good, you read every word.
114
If a fiction book's bad, you fucking stop and put it away.
115
All right, tip number four, schedule your reading time.
116
Now everybody I talk to who wants to read more, they all say the same thing.
117
But Mark, I'm so busy.
118
I don't have enough time.
119
You should see my schedule.
120
It's no excuse.
121
Reading is the easiest, most transportable hobby or interest or activity that you've ever.
122
It's so fucking easy.
123
You can read on your commutes in the morning or listen to an audiobook.
124
You can read on your lunch breaks.
125
I always have an article or a book to read while I'm eating lunch.
126
I often take a book to the gym and read in between sets or even during sets.
127
Hell if the books you're reading are big enough you can do sets with the books.
128
Hell sometimes I keep a book in the bathroom so I can read while I take a shit.
129
I play a little game with myself.
130
I I try to read more pages than I have flushes.
131
I call it poop for pages.
132
That might be the stupidest thing I've ever said on camera.
133
And this doesn't even get into scheduling time in your day.
134
Even without scheduling anything, I can easily find at least 30 minutes a day to read.
135
And then if you schedule time on top of that, it's an easy 60 minutes at least.
136
And this is what people don't understand.
137
Like people see that I read all these books and they think I'm like superhuman or something.
138
I'm not superhuman.
139
My reading speed isn't that much above the average reading speed.
140
The trick is consistency.
141
The average person can read a page roughly about two minutes.
142
So if you read 60 minutes per day, that's 30 pages a day.
143
And if you figure the average book is about 300 pages, well, now you're reading a book every 10 days or 37 books per year.
144
But if you're being smart and you're putting away shitty books and you're skipping shitty chapters, then you're going to end up reading way more than that.
145
You're gonna end up reading like 40 or 50 books a year.
146
And that's just by dedicating an hour a day.
147
All right, and tip number five, read more than one book at a time.
148
This is another one that people have a lot of weird beliefs about.
149
Like the idea
150
that reading two books at the same time is twice as mentally challenging as reading one book at a time.
151
It's not.
152
Actually, it's easier than reading only one book.
153
Why?
154
Because when you get sick of that first book, you just move to the second one and it feels exciting and new again.
155
And then when you get sick of the second one, you go back to the first one.
156
I actually find it much easier to sustain my attention
157
and excitement for both books if I'm able to jump back and forth between them.
158
I generally try to read three books at any given time and I divide them up into three categories in my head.
159
I have kind of the philosophically and technically challenging book.
160
I have just a general non-fiction educational book.
161
Then I have like a light fiction or a biography or something like that.
162
I see it as like my fun book.
163
Sometimes if the philosophical book is is very challenging and requires a lot of mental effort, I'll schedule time in my day to actually sit down and read that philosophical book.
164
If I'm reading a novel and it's really fucking good, sometimes I'll just screw the whole morning and read my novel.
165
Sometimes I just get sick of one of my books and I set it down for a week or two.
166
Then I come back when I'm more mentally refreshed.
167
All right, so we've got some basic tips on how to read quicker and more efficiently.
168
We've got tips on how to be ruthless in your book selection, and also how to be more practical in terms of finding time during the day to read.
169
Now let's talk about remembering what you read, because one of the most common questions I get from people is what is your note-taking system?
170
How do you remember all this stuff?
171
How do you know where you saw what study?
172
People like to assume
173
that I've got this like massive database of notes with like a supercomputer linking like 800 different concepts
174
and ideas with sources and citations.
175
No, no I don't use any of that stuff.
176
In fact I use almost nothing.
177
And this actually, let's call this the harsh truth of the day.
178
The harsh truth of the day is that highlighting and note-taking is basically worthless.
179
This upsets a lot of people.
180
And again, I don't fucking know why.
181
Why would you want to highlight a book?
182
Like that just, that sounds really annoying.
183
Again, this comes from school.
184
In school, the reason you thought highlighting is important or note-taking is important is because you were tested on what you read.
185
People mistake the highlighting for memory.
186
Studies have consistently shown highlighting, underlining, notes in the margin.
187
This has no effect in your retention.
188
The only point of doing it was so that when you went back and studied for the test, you knew what to look at.
189
Now some people say, well you can do the same thing with books you read for fun.
190
You can highlight all the cool parts.
191
And then a month later, you go back and you check all the parts you highlighted so you can remember.
192
Well, that sounds fucking awful because now you're just doing school and like real life.
193
Why would you do that?
194
Here's the thing about human memory.
195
We remember things that we use.
196
If I read a book on nutrition, the way I'm gonna remember what I read is by actually changing what I eat and paying attention to what I eat.
197
If I just highlight the whole nutrition book and then I eat the same garbage I always eat, I'm not gonna remember anything.
198
Basically we remember what's useful.
199
If you don't find ways to implement the ideas you read into your life in some way, you're not gonna remember them.
200
And you're gonna have this feeling of like, wow I read all these books and I have no idea what's in them.
201
Yeah, because you didn't fucking do anything.
202
Ultimately, the only reason to read nonfiction is to change your life in some way, is to become smarter in some way,
203
to improve yourself in some way.
204
Now, here's the thing, a lot of books, it's kind of hard to use what you read.
205
I mean, even in my own books, it's about concepts and principles.
206
You know, it's not like, oh, go out and do X, Y, Z, and then you'll make a million dollars.
207
Like, there's none of that stuff in it.
208
So this idea of like using stuff that you read, it's actually kind of a nebulous abstract thing.
209
I can read a principle
210
and my using it can simply be having a different perspective on an area of my life than I had before.
211
For example, when I read Kant's moral philosophy, I found his ethical principles to be very profound.
212
And I was able to see how they apply to a lot of my beliefs about people
213
and relationships and ethics in general.
214
And so a lot of times using something we've read, it just happens in our mind.
215
But still, we have to make that mental effort.
216
We have to go through that process of saying, okay, I read this, how does this apply to my own life?
217
Now, if you are really dead set on like having a hack to remember the stuff you read,
218
there are ways to kind of trick your brain into thinking
219
that you were using the stuff you read so that you remember it better.
220
One of them is to simply talk about the ideas to somebody else.
221
So you read a really cool book about neuroscience, go find a friend or somebody else who's willing to be bored to tears and describe to them what you just read.
222
The human mind remembers what's useful
223
and generally humans tend to see social interactions as the most useful and important things that happen in our lives.
224
So when you tell somebody else about an idea, your brain is subconsciously saying, oh, this must be really important.
225
Now, the last thing I'm gonna say about remembering stuff is
226
that you don't have to remember every idea from every book you've read.
227
You only have to remember what ideas are in every book that you've read.
228
So speaking of neuroscience, there's this famous neuroscientist named Antonio Damasio.
229
I've read two of his books.
230
I couldn't explain off the top of my head exactly what's in his books.
231
I'm not a neuroscientist.
232
It's not my area of expertise.
233
It's not a piece of knowledge I use frequently.
234
But I remember the arguments in those books.
235
And so I know where to look if I need to find those neuroscience arguments again.
236
So the importance is not necessarily remembering everything you read.
237
It's remembering where you read it.
238
Because when you need something, you can just go grab the book off the shelf and find it.
239
Takes two minutes.
240
I do it all the time.
241
90% of the stuff in my articles and books, it's because I grabbed shit off the shelf and I went looking for it.
242
I'm like, oh yeah, there's that thing.
243
There's that experiment.
244
Let me write about that.
245
The only reason to try to obsessively remember every single thing you read is if you want to impress people at parties.
246
And let's be honest, who the fuck wants to impress people at parties?
247
All right, that's a wrap.
248
Be sure to like this video, subscribe to the channel.
249
I'm going to have a lot more practical life tips coming out.
250
And, you know, if you're really ballsy, post in the comments how many books you have read this year and how many you wish you could read.
251
I think you'll actually be surprised how easy it is to bridge that gap.
252
Until next time, Manson out.

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
