Here's his F.A.S.T.E.R. method for getting the most out of any book:
F is for Forget
Forget what you already know about the subject.
If you think you already know everything about a subject, you won't be interested or open to absorbing new information.
Start every book with an open mind instead of a closed one.

A is for Act
Learning is not a spectator sport–be an active reader, not a passive one.
When reading a book, highlight key lessons, write down ways you can apply those lessons, and then go out and take action on them.
The more action you take, the more you'll get from the book.

S is for State
If you're in a low-energy state, you won't enjoy the book nor will you remember much from it.
To shift your state of mind and body, try changing your posture, taking deep breaths, or moving around to get energized and excited about learning.

T is for Teach
One of the best ways to remember more of what you read is to read with the intention of teaching it to someone later.
If you know you have to share what you learned, you'll pay closer attention and take more detailed notes while reading.

E is for Enter
Pull up your calendar right now and enter a 30-minute meeting with yourself to read books.
When you add a meeting to your calendar, you're reminded about it and there's a high chance you'll follow through with it.
Otherwise it's too easy to forget about it.

R is for Review
To retain information, you need to review and recall it.
Before you jump back into a book, try to recall what you learned during your last reading session and then review your highlights.
This tip only takes a few minutes but will help you remember much more.
