Q1: What are the four levels of reading explained in the video? A1: The four levels of reading explained in the video are Elementary Reading, Inspectional Reading, Analytical Reading, and Syntopical Reading.
Q2: What is the purpose of Inspectional Reading? A2: The purpose of Inspectional Reading is to get a general idea of the book's purpose, structure, and content by looking at the title, subtitle, index, and reading the first and last chapters.
Q3: What is Analytical Reading, and how does it differ from Inspectional Reading? A3: Analytical Reading is a more detailed level of reading, where you actively engage with the text and digest the information. It is different from Inspectional Reading in that it is time-unlimited and focuses on understanding the details and building blocks of the book's argument or theme.
Q4: What questions should you ask yourself during Analytical Reading? A4: During Analytical Reading, you should ask yourself questions such as: "What is this book about?", "What is being said in detail and how?", "What insights are being presented?", "What is the main argument and how is it being supported?", and "Is the book true in whole or in parts?"
Q5: Why is Inspectional Reading an important step that some people skip? A5: Inspectional Reading is an important step that some people skip because it helps them understand the overall purpose, structure, and content of the book, which makes it easier to understand and engage with the details during Analytical Reading. Skipping Inspectional Reading can make reading more difficult because you are trying to understand the details while also trying to grasp the bigger picture.

Q1: Why is it important to make up your own mind when reading? A1: It is important to make up your own mind when reading because it allows you to critically examine the information presented and decide whether it is true or not. This helps you develop your own opinions and beliefs.
Q2: What is syntopical reading? A2: Syntopical reading, also known as comparative reading, is the process of analyzing the same concept from different angles by comparing the opinions of various authors. It is the highest level of reading and helps you develop a deeper understanding of a particular topic.
Q3: What are the four questions to ask yourself when reading analytically? A3: The four questions to ask yourself when reading analytically are: 1) What is the book about? 2) What is being said in detail, and how? 3) Is the book true, in whole or in part? 4) What of it? What's the significance of the book?
Q4: How can framework thinking help in comparative reading? A4: Framework thinking can help in comparative reading by allowing you to extract frameworks from different books and compare them. By identifying common themes and connections between different frameworks, you can develop a deeper understanding of the topic being studied.
Q5: Can you give an example of syntopical reading? A5: An example of syntopical reading is comparing different authors' opinions on building wealth. One author may suggest delegating tasks, while another may focus on building specific knowledge. By comparing and analyzing these different viewpoints, you can identify common themes and connections, such as the importance of time and leverage in building wealth.

Q1: What is compounding? A1: Compounding refers to making the money that you make help you make more money over time, creating a snowball effect.
Example: If you have $100 with an annual interest rate of 10%, after one year, you have $110, and after two years, you end up with $121 because of the extra $10 from interest from the first year.
Q2: How does leverage work in relation to compounding? A2: Leverage involves borrowing other people's money or resources to help you make money, and it can amplify the effects of compounding.
Example: If you borrow $100 every year on top of the initial $100 with a 10% annual interest rate, after 50 years, your total amount will be at $163,338.79, much higher than if you didn't borrow any money.
Q3: What did the founder of Dell say about success? A3: The founder of Dell said that you don't need to be a genius, visionary, or even a college graduate to be successful; you just need a framework and a dream.
Q4: What is framework thinking? A4: Framework thinking refers to having a structured approach to problem-solving and decision-making, using established principles and frameworks.
Q5: What is the importance of understanding compounding and leverage? A5: Understanding compounding and leverage can help individuals make better financial decisions and achieve their long-term financial goals by maximizing the power of their money over time.
For anyone feeling that it is too much work, I just read a blog by Shane Parrish about the same topic and here's what he wrote in the last line:
"If all of this sounds like hard work, you’re right. Most people won’t do it. That’s what sets you apart."
Haha great reminder! Thanks for watching!!
See also Cal Newport's "How to read 5 books a month" vid... focus san social media as the default 'not doing anything else activity.
I reckon most people (like me) will do mostly elementary and inspectional reading. Thanks for bringing awareness of of level 3 and 4 reading!
BTW audio syncing is slightly off which is kinda distracting...
From one former consultant to another… you are the best.
haha thank you!
As soon as you said “condescending” I knew what book you were going to say 😂 I found it super helpful when I first read it and enjoyed the irony of reading a book about how to read a book.
LOL 😂 agreed! It redeemed itself very quickly haha I was too quick to judge 😅
Excellent stuff, Vicky. Thank you.
This framework for reading is fundamental for reading in graduate school and for professional work. It moves you beyond how reading is taught in high school and college-there isn’t just one way to read a book.
This is amazing! Thanks Vicky for putting out great content. Rereading Atomic habits with this framework in mind.
Gotta add this to your note taking template...this is awesome.
Thank you. For many concepts, especially those not pure theory, final decisions in relation to your personal benefit come after trial and analysis. There are so many new ideas we have to apply judgement and descernment to what we investigate due to limited time. This is one reason why I listen to you to help me make informed decisions. You are my second brain and Obsidian is my third brain 😄
🙏 haha as Yuval Harari says our greatest achievement as humans is being able to think together 🧠 so glad we can think together 😊
Great stuff! You do a great job explaining it with a clarity and simplicity that clearly shows you understand the idea. Boiling something that is quite complex down to its fundmentals. Thanks!
Thank you for the support and for watching! 🎉
Thank you. I always worried if I am reading effectively or not but this provides clarity..
This is such a brilliant channel.
😍😍😍 finally another Vicky Zhao video
Very underrated book and skill! I get a lot of weird looks when I bring this book out in public too
This is awesome information
The best content that i have seen on reading wow even better than justin sung 😂

As always, very interesting 😊
Especially part related to the compound interest…
And if we… reverse the mechanism…(another technic from the SCAMPER method) : if we borrow money and apply compound interest…😊 : Compound interest rates are devious and especially dangerous for low - income populations and those who don’t , from the outset , grasp the depth of trouble these rates can bring
Mixed interest rate + inflation a terrific story…
Different readings, different sources, different voices… 😉
Thank you for sharing your rich and inspirational content 😊
Hi..vicky..thankyou
I really appreciate this post. When listening yo a book, would it be helpful to listen to different chapters(beginning/end) prior to going through the entire book?
Great prelude to learning how to do literature review❤
Is the audio syncing off a bit?
❤ it ❣
🙏 you 🫶
I read the book and liked it as well. I feel like the principles should be taken loosely and the second part of the book on how to read types of literature wasn't that interesting.
Syntopical reading : Excellent way to building a second brain :-)
why is the audio so desynced?
Sounded isnt in sync with the video. Or is this just me?
it’s not lol
