Here's the scenario.

You have a book in front of you.

It doesn't matter whether it's interesting or not.

It's full of important facts and arguments.

And you want to remember those.

You close the book.

And in 15 minutes you completely forgot everything you just read.

Annoying, isn't it?

If you want to solve this problem once and for all, there's just one thing you have to do.

Alison Preston says, nothing happens in isolation.

When you are learning something new, you bring to mind all of the things you know that are related to that information.

In doing so, you embed the new information into your existing knowledge.

So, have you ever heard about the 6 Thinking Hats method?

This approach was created by someone called Edward de Bono, who invented this method to have a tool for critical thinking.

So each colored hat represents a way of thinking, a mindset that you can use to analyze a question, a problem, or a specific part of the text.

With the blue hat, you focus on controlling your thinking and managing the decision-making process.

So you do things like asking for summaries, asking for an agenda and trying to reach a conclusion.

The green hat represents creative thinking.

When you're wearing this hat, you try to explore a wide range of ideas and different solutions to the same problem.

The red hat represents emotions, so when you're engaging this type of thinking,

you try to express your feelings regarding the problem without having to justify those feelings and those problems logically.

With a yellow hat, you look at issues with the most positive light possible.

You try to underline the benefits and the good things about the specific question

and any kind of added value that could come from your ideas.

When you're wearing the black hat, you try to be cautious and you try to assess your risks by using critical judgment

and explaining exactly why you have concerns.

With the white hat, you want to do some information gathering.

So you're thinking about the knowledge and the insights that you've already collected, but the information you're missing as well and how you can get to it.

The six thinking hats technique is a great manifestation of that one thing, that one principle I was talking about,

and that is getting more involved with your reading materials.

However, being involved in your reading process is more of a shift in mindset than the employment of a specific reading technique.

Your brain is wired to connect your emotions to your memories.

Basically, it connects your personal interpretation to the facts you're actually reading.

So when you establish an emotional or intellectual connection, you have a better chance of retrieving those memories in the first place.

That's why things like class discussion, writing papers, mind mapping the structure of a book

or teaching a chapter to a friend are things

that maximize your chances of remembering the content of the things you're reading for a long time.

It's not simply because you're reading those passages from the book for a longer period of time.

You're getting involved, you're creating your own critical thinking as you're reading the book, you're creating your notes, you are marking some of the pages,

you're creating this kind of brain to emotions connection with the book.

Let's look at a basic example.

This is my version of Atomic Habits.

This is a book I've read twice already

and the second time I read it everything stuck to me

and that's because I spent enough time making sure I was asking the right questions as I was reading the book.

So I was taking care to only highlight the sentences that stuck out to me, marking pages from the best passages of the book,

rewriting some of the sentences on the margin, posing questions, writing down my own conclusions and thoughts on the margin as well.

And if you think that this whole process takes a long time, think twice.

You know, quality is way more important than quantity, so reading a book like this one time may be better than skimming through the book three or four times.

And another great way to get involved with the content of a book is using the so-called mental models, and there are so many of them,

but I want to underline the importance of three different mental models.

You have confirmation bias, availability bias, and utilities as the most common and useful ones.

However, getting involved with a book is important of course, but repetition is also important.

But what we're looking for is active repetition and not passive repetition.

As your brain revisits the same subject, it's easier to form connections, and that's because when you're introduced to a new topic everything is new

so your brain has to work a lot to grasp the full amount of information you're being presented to

and then make the required connections between all new concepts and topics

so try to read your material twice

and use the same kind of critical thinking and active reading techniques

that we've discussed earlier the second time you're reading the book

you've already read it for the first time you've already highlighted some passages

and written your thoughts in the margin

so you can anticipate a little bit of what's coming next

and that means you can look at information next with a brand new perspective

so as you're doing your second reading you're trying to look

through the clues trying to understand new meanings about the same

passage of the book instead of just skimming through the information again and accepting whatever you're reading.

And you know who actually did this and tried to get involved with dozens and dozens of books?

The guys at Shortform who are kindly sponsoring today's video.

With Shortform you can learn the ideas from all the non-fiction books you've ever wanted to read.

You get super detailed summaries on so many books.

And if you're thinking, well, I can find a lot of free summaries on the internet, this is where it gets interesting.

Instead of just summarizing the books, Shortform actually goes beyond that, adding interactive exercises to help you apply the ideas you've just learned, as well as smart insights,

connecting ideas from different books and different items, allowing you to connect the dots and understanding everything at a deeper level.

Sometimes I find it really hard to find time to read all the books I want to read, and while I love to cozy up with a good novel,

I find it's hard to split my reading time between novels while also reading every self-help book available.

And with a full-time job and a YouTube channel to balance, Shortform really helps me stay updated on new productivity books, which also helps me deliver new ideas and new content for you guys.

When I read a guide in short form for a book I think I'll really enjoy, I then purchase a physical copy for a deeper analysis.

This was how I got introduced to Getting Things Done by David Allen very recently.

That way, I already know it's going to be good and I look forward to the full experience.

However, I can always go back to short form to at least remember the key points,

especially when I'm trying to revisit productivity concepts from a bunch of different titles and want to know how these concepts interact.

Shortform also drops new book guides and articles every week and subscribers get to vote on what books to cover.

To get a 5 days of unlimited access and additional 20% discount on the annual subscription,

I really hope you've enjoyed today's video and I'll see you next week.

Bye guys!

為什麼讀完書就忘？關鍵原因在這裡

你是否有過這樣的經歷：讀完一本滿是重要內容的書，合上書15分鐘後就幾乎全忘了？影片中提到，這是因為我們的大腦需要將新資訊與已有知識建立連線，才能真正記住。而建立連線的核心，就是主動參與閱讀過程，而非被動接收。

提升記憶的實用技巧：六頂思考帽

影片中介紹了愛德華·德·博諾提出的“六頂思考帽”方法，能幫你在閱讀時更深入思考。每頂帽子代表一種思維方式：

藍帽：掌控思考過程，比如總結內容、制定閱讀議程、得出結論。
綠帽：激發創造力，探索不同想法和解決方案。
紅帽：表達情緒，無需邏輯證明自己的感受。
黃帽：積極思考，關注內容的好處和價值。
黑帽：謹慎判斷，評估風險和潛在問題。
白帽：收集資訊，梳理已知和未知內容。

這些方法不僅適用於閱讀，也能鍛鍊批判性思維，對雅思口語練習很有幫助——當你需要針對某個話題展開論述時，用不同“帽子”的視角分析，能讓表達更全面。

用Shadowing法強化記憶與口語

除了主動思考，影片還暗示了“影子跟讀法”（shadow speech）的有效性。這種方法通過模仿音訊內容，同步跟讀，能提升聽力和口語的反應速度。對於閱讀後的記憶強化，你可以嘗試用影子跟讀法複述書中的關鍵內容：先播放自己錄製的閱讀音訊，然後立即跟讀，同時加入自己的思考（比如用六頂思考帽的視角點評）。這樣既鍛鍊了口語，又通過多感官參與加深了記憶。

想要找到合適的shadowing site？其實無需複雜工具，用手機錄製閱讀片段，反覆跟讀即可。記住，關鍵是“質量重於數量”——認真讀完一本書並通過思考和跟讀內化，比快速瀏覽多遍更有效。

現在就拿起一本書，試試這些方法吧！主動思考+影子跟讀，讓你既能記住內容，又能提升英語能力。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	have you ever heard · you've already collected · I've read
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	was created · being involved · is wired

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
