PROACTIVE READING
READ THE BOOK, DONT LET THE BOOK
READ YOU
Preface
We have great resources in our modern era. However, these resources can become excellent sources of our inspiration and our
life-span through preventing us from doing mistakes. One of
these resources is called a book. We have been thought by capitalistic society to not solely try to locate the golden nuggets of the
books. In addition, we havent received guidance on how to balance our reading genre and materials. And how we can add value
to our lives and our time through books.
We shouldnt read to make the publisher or the author rich. However, read in order to fill our minds with ideas which help us reflect, progress and move on with our life. In this pamphlet we will
give you the reader some small summaries and techniques of
reading and active note-taking which you could use in a study
group or for yourself as an individual. You dont need to memorise the theories names but you should aim to optimise the techniques to your personal needs and use it creatively in your life to
help you be the best you.

Literature Diet: This is inspired by Tai Lopezs concept of SMART

reading course.

Breakfast: Classic books

Criteria of Classic Books: Very old book. Maybe popular. Something your grandfather would read. Preferably before the 1st and
the 2nd Industrial Epoch.
Justification: Doesnt contain much of the marketing and capitalistic vocabulary or dogma or attitude present. Hence, good at inspiring or motivating you in the morning and kickstart your day.
Technique: Collect quotations. Skim read if easy vocabulary. For
ones with harder vocabulary the Azadnikovs technique 1 may be
applied. If a lot of insight is present best to note the insight down
and try to condense it in a way that it is memorable.
Lunch: How-to book or health book or information book
Criteria: Usually fairly recent. Easy to understand. Usually a lot of
quotes which sound cool but you forget them easily. Good for
multitasking with.
Justification: Keeps you moving. Allows you to complete one or
more task or tasks which are important to you. This should be
skim read as most how-to or information book usually only have 6
points.
Technique: Azadnikovs technique 1 may be used to reorganise and
take control of the information that is present.

Dinner: Biographical or fictional

Justification: Allows you to wind down and fall asleep. Increases
creativity. Makes you ready to make a dierence when you wake
up.
Technique: Read slowly. Highlight cool quotes and plots in book
itself. Write them down next morning. Would recommend Azadnikvovs Technique 2. Technique 1 requires you to be a little bit
too proactive and hence may make it hard for you to fall asleep.
Dont multitask with this. Allow other peoples lives overwhelm
and inspire you.
Criteria: Anything about your favourite inspirational figures or
anything which is going to make you have a dream or a nightmare.
Through this we can get

Azadnikovs Technique 1: I have compiled some aspects of the preface

of the red book and Smart Reading Courses and my own common
sense. In purple is the step. The red text explains or highlights my
personal inspiration.

1)Read the preface in detail(Adapted from Tai Lopezs Smart

Reading)
2)Read the first chapter in detail(Adapted from Tai Lopezs
Smart Reading)
3) Read the last chapter in detail(Adapted from Tai Lopezs
Smart Reading)
4) Skim through the table of contents(Adapted from Tai
Lopezs Smart Reading)
5) Note down 6 or more questions or statements that you
would want a response to during your read.(Adapted from the
Red Book)
6) Write each question on a dierent page.
7) Take a pencil or pen and write down which chapters are
most important to you from a rating of 0-5. Where 0 is least
important and 5 is most important.
8)Read the chapters according to which one is the most important. If you arrive at 0 at the end and you already have
enough information then skip the chapter with the 0 on it.
(Adapted from the Red Book)

9) Read through and note down each of the quotes that answer your question.
10)If there are more questions that you want to include. Add
them in. Each on a new page.
11) Get a timer and provide yourself with a limited time for
you to read. This ensures that you force yourself to take the
most out of the work. (Adapted from Tai Lopezs Smart Reading)
12) If you had enough of the book than leave it.
13) If the book is completely useless to you move on to a new
book.
14) Write down top 6 pieces of advice that you received from
the book which you think that is very important.
15) Bookmark the page at the end of the time if you think that
there is more information for you to get for next time.
16) Dont spend more than 2-days on one how-to book.
Azadnikovs Technique 2: This is applicable for more fiction and autobiographical books which are read at night.

1.

Take a highlighter and highlight all of the cool or interesting

or important parts of the book.

2. Dont use a pencil and write on the book.

3. Allow yourself to think about what you read for the entire
night.
5

4. Note down all of the cool ideas that you have when you wake
up.
5.

If you have a dream from the book, write them down. It may
be a source of inspiration when you grow up. Keep a dream
journal.

6. Discuss the plot with a friend that is close to you and recommend the book if you think it is a good read
7.

Note down the cool or interesting quotes the next day when
you wake up. Limit yourself to 6-10 quotes so that you dont
flog your time too much.

8. Spent 15 minutes every day to read through your notes for a

week. Keep a copy on your mobile phone, if you have one, for
a week.
9. Try to condense the advice and your notes as much as possible.
10. Transform it into a single visual diagram and hang it as poster.
Other tips:
1) Keep a tear file. In the tear file, you should literally tear up articles or
cut out articles from the newspaper which you think are interesting. In
the future, you might find it useful. Dont keep a magazine for a long
time as it takes up too much space in your house. Besides, whats worse
than having to look for articles for a long period of time. Instead of going to Yahoo News or looking at 9 Gag or Facebook review through
your tear file during afternoons to help you get things done or remember your opinion about certain things that you had in the past. In a lot
of magazines even revolutionary ones. Around 80-90% of the informa6

tion is usually interesting but not relevant to you. Usually 5% is relevant to you right now. 5% is usually relevant to you in the near future.
If you are travelling instead of worrying about carrying 2-3 magazines
of 54-30 pages each which is smaller than a book, you can reduce your
luggage even more and save more time by ripping out 2-3 pages from
each book and hence having in total around 6-9 pages of really important information for you to review and revise over and over again.
2) Give away. If there is a book which you are attached to and you have
already taken as much as you could away from it then sell it or give it
to a friend. Share your books with other trusted people so that you
train yourself to stop being selfish.
