I Cannot Remember The Books I Have Read - How To Apply What You Learn From Books With Nick Hutchison

The Iron Deep Podcast

Many people have trouble reading and retaining what they read. Spending hours reading books doesn't make much sense if you can't remember any of what you've read. Today we'll dive deep into some of the techniques you can use to increase the amount of information you can remember and recall from your reading sessions.

Nick Hutchison with @BookThinkers wrote the book "Rise Of The Reader" which has strategies for mastering your reading habits and applying what you learn. So how do we actually read books, remember what we read, and apply what we learn?

Nick has developed an effective system to get the most out of books. He has learned how to read and implement over 400 books into his life. In order to read books and apply them to his life, Nick developed the SMART system. SMART is an acronym that stands for Specific - Measurable - Attainable - Relevant - Time Bound. Nick teaches Brett about these simple but effective steps he uses to read and actually apply 35-50 books a year into his daily life.

By the end of this podcast, you'll have a better understanding of where to start reading, how to progress in the books you read, and how to implement and apply his techniques for improving your reading retention and application.
