Did you know that minute for minute, pound for pound,

leveraging the wisdom in books is the number one activity

that you can do to access the world's best minds?

And that's what Tidietabout is, how you can do a better job of leveraging this wisdom

to work for you. All right, this would probably be a pretty good place to inject the fact that I am

aware that there are multiple, you know, kinds of books. So with respect to nonfiction books,

I wanted to take a moment now and share a handful of nuggets. How are you taking the information that's in these books,

the information that you find valuable,

and putting that to work in the world?

So as we started to talk about the tactics

of consuming work, it's obvious, right?

We've got the old-fashioned way.

This is Darren Greatly from my dear friend, Bernay Brown.

You get to smell and touch the pages,

turn them over, dog ear them.

There's all kinds of great stuff about a physical book.

This is not new information.

For so many people, that's great.

I like doing that sometimes, but by far and away, my biggest hack, listening to someone

read their audiobook, I can actually listen to at 1.5 and consume a book in 50% faster than I would otherwise be able to take in an audio book.

I can also skip around. I can also have some favorites and bookmark them and go back to them.

There's all kinds of benefits here.
