The Simple Idea That Unlocks Hard Books

Learning how to read is a critical, under-appreciated skill. Here's an analogy that might help you think about this skill in a productive way. It's also the first in a series of videos on how to read.

00:00 Your only teacher
00:46 The central question
1:45 A special kind of reading

This video and subsequent videos in this series are based on an excellent book: How to Read a Book, by Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Doren. I highly recommend it. You can purchase it here: https://bookshop.org/a/91541/97806712... (I get a small commission if you do - thanks in advance!).
