The Art of Reading (Video Course)
==================

The goal of this is to save you time and increase your understanding. Many of us were taught how to read when we in grade 2 and we haven’t really thought about how we go about reading any more than that, and the way that we go about reading has a profound impact on not only our understanding but the time it takes us to get the relevant information that we want out of reading.

This course is based on reading hundreds and hundreds of books and from sharing what we’ve learned online with you and incorporating feedback from the likes of Robert Cialdini and Nassim Taleb and coming up with a system that works for us and is very flexible.

It’s not just for books, it’s also online reading, reading articles, and learning how to get the most out of the information with the least amount of time. The tagline for Farnam Street is ‘mastering the best of what other people have already figured out’.

There’s no better way to do that than to read.

Let’s get started!
