How to Read a Nonfiction Book

Nice work here. I personally found around 2-3 years of reading non-fiction extremely helpful in my personal growth. An "inflection point" some would say.

But in the last year, I've been struggling to pick up as many books. I posit that it might have to do with many of the books feel similar. It's almost like once you get the baseline level of information, it's more fruitful for you to go out and learn yourself. Or perhaps I just need to expand my mind and find a new set of books.

Reading books is the best habit I've developed since graduating from college. I've used this system to retain more of what I read. It's definitely not perfect, but it's helped me get a lot more out of my time reading.

Curious if others have developed different techniques that have been helpful for retaining and applying knowledge from books. I feel like I can still get a lot better on this front.
