Author had a traumatic brain injury as a kid—labeled a slow learner. He rewired his brain to learn fast. Wild backstory. Solid framework for reading faster. Loved: “The only way to win is to learn faster than anyone else.” Big takeaway: asking the right questions improves learning—especially when reading. Reminder: multiple types of genius exist. The 4 levels of competence stuck with me—especially unconscious incompetence (you don’t know what you don’t know). Lots of useful ideas, but some fluff too. I’ll revisit my highlights periodically but probably won’t reread the whole thing.
