How do successful people read?A major part of the answers here on Quora include telling people to read certain books. Should I be analyzing every book I read in depth, taking notes on chapters like in high school? It seems overwhelming to have to do this for all the books that pertain to my interests. Do I just do one read-through and try to retain as much information as possible?  That's the fastest way but it doesn't feel as helpful. Maybe I just re-read the books until I fully understand them... How do successful individuals read books?Diego Mendoza, hustlerUpdated Aug 30, 2016Let’s start off by saying that an average person only retains 2-3% of what they learn in books or school.Now, I don’t know if ‘successful’ would be the best adjective but I agree the most ‘productive’ people (the ones that you may’ve heard read a book a day) do this:(not sure he used this methods but he is a genius so I will leave him here, I took it from google images)Skip to whatever is interesting to them: You’re not at school, you don’t need to read or memorize something that’s irrelevant to you.Take notes: I always take notes or if no notebook is at hand I underline the book, I find information that is interesting or of value to me and I do a summary, whenever I forget about something I go to my notes instead of reading the whole book again.Look for the book summary online: Now this may look like a lazy move but if you are as limited in time as I am and as hungry for knowledge you will consider this, when you do this you notice that the useless chit chat is left out of the equation.Hope it helps :)
