Techniques for Reading Without Forgetting

Description

“I immediately forget the contents of the books I read.”
“Things don’t stick in my memory, regardless of how closely I read them.”
“Even though I found it really interesting, after a short time I can no longer remember it.”

Does this sound familiar?

Like leaving the tap running, not retaining what you’ve read is a waste.
In order to find meaning in what you’ve read, it’s important to try relating the information presented to you to your personal experiences and growth. This will, in turn, make the information more difficult to forget.

The author, also a psychiatrist, presents “techniques for reading without forgetting” which are backed by the world of neuroscience. He also shares his knowledge as an “SNS (social networking service) super pro” and social media expert to shed light on ways to share acquired knowledge with others and to put to use information gained from reading. Use these “techniques for reading without forgetting” to implement knowledge gained from books into your work and everyday life. Please read this book as a continuation of Techniques for Remembering What You Read.

From the editor

In all three books of his that I’ve worked on, Kabasawa has written from the standpoints of an “SNS super pro.” This time, his approach was more psychiatric in nature; he writes about “techniques for reading without forgetting” backed by the fields of neuroscience and psychology. This resulted in a fresh experience through the editing process.

Read this book, and you may be surprised by what new methods of reading you discover.
