How to Retain More From the Books You Read | 7 Reading Techniques from Daniel Pink

Описание: In this mini-episode, Kathy dives into seven practical techniques from bestselling author Daniel Pink that will help you remember more from the books you read - especially non-fiction, business and personal development books.

Because let’s be honest, we all adore buying books.

We feel wildly optimistic while reading them. And then… poof. The knowledge disappears like a Post-it note in a strong breeze.

Inside this short, sharp episode, you’ll discover:
– Why you should (brace yourself) “torture” your books
– The powerful S&H Method (Summarise and Harvest) for locking in key ideas
– How to build a simple “second brain” for book highlights
– Why re-reading the right books changes everything
– What it means to be a T-shaped reader (and why depth + breadth both matter)
– The surprisingly liberating formula for quitting books guilt-free
– And why reading is a privilege, not a performance sport

There’s also a small detour via Wuthering Heights, windy moors, and the uncomfortable realisation that teenage romance standards were… questionable.

If you love personal development, productivity books, business reading, or simply want to stop forgetting everything you consume - this episode will give you practical, doable strategies to improve information retention without turning reading into homework.
