episode 12: Stop Reading Books Straight Through. Start Reading in "Layers." (a different kind of "speed-reading")
Have you ever been really excited about a book you were reading, only to realize – as you tried to describe it to someone – that you had NO IDEA what it was actually about? This happened to me all of the time, until I realized I was reading the wrong way. This is a mini-episode in which I introduce the "layered" reading approach that changed the way I read books.
