\nGlitches.<\/strong> What were your main disagreements with the author (if any)? Reading is an active exercise, and disagreement is part of what stimulates our own growth and development.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nHoles.<\/strong> What did you feel was missing from the book? No book is perfect. Noticing deficiencies helps you evaluate a book, weigh its contribution, and decide on additional research of your own.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nTakeaways.<\/strong> What were your key takeaways? This is the key if you want your reading to spark growth and personal change. I try to list two or three things I learned and which I\u2019ll leverage for new ways of thinking or acting.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nSnippet.<\/strong> What are the quotes worth remembering? While I\u2019m reading, I identify quotes worth remembering. I store my Book InSIGHTS in Evernote, which makes these quotes easy to find at a later date.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe key idea with using Book InSIGHTS is to distill your reading to a short document that you can easily access down the road. It pays dividends in new ideas, personal growth, and life application. And I find just the practice of getting it down makes it sink in. I retain more of what I read when I take the additional time to record what I discovered.<\/p>\n
