How to Analyze a Book - 101

Any book can be beaten with a strong analysis. It may not be easy. It may not be quick. And yet, the result justifies it: true wisdom, new perspective and a chance to learn more about the world. Not every book deserves an analysis, but when it does, these are five steps you can apply to squeeze every good idea out. First, build a mental map. This is 'prereading' or 'skimming,' where you form a rough idea of the book's structure and how it approaches the topic of interest. Second, keep a pencil close. Writing smart notes is half the story in a strong analysis. By marking up a book, you remember more and are pushed to engage more deeply. Questions, answers, connections and your own thoughts should litter the pages as your mind spins into action. Third, write clever notes. If you're not used to writing in books, or at all, it can be intimidating to start. Some helpful pointers on what to write are a great start. Fourth, create chapter summaries. This is how you package your favorite ideas at the end. You use the back pages, or even a notebook, to distil all the best insights from the book. It's handy, organized and sets you up for archiving. Fifth, you archive the best ideas. It's a shame to read great books and forget the perspectives that changed you most. And you can't carry around 100 notebooks either... That's where the 'second brain' comes in. This is an archive where ALL your best notes are stored. It's like your personal bank of knowledge, one that can last a lifetime and will only get better with age.
