One of the most beneficial book’s I’ve ever read is Mortimer J. Adler’s book “How to read a book.” So I was thrilled when I saw this post over on CopyBlogger - because it does a tremendous job in giving you the top level view. Starting with this post, and even getting and going through the book yourself will truly change the way you read for the better - I guarantee!
The Four Levels of Reading
Back in 1940, a guy named Mortimer J. Adler jolted the “widely read” into realizing they might not be well read with a book called How to Read a Book. Updated in 1973 and still going strong today, How to Read a Book identifies four levels of reading:
Elementary
Inspectional
Analytical
Syntopical
Each of these reading levels is cumulative. You can’t progress to a higher level without mastering the levels that come before.
Was chatting with a friend about my transition in gaming systems from Xbox 360 (Gears of War) to Nintendo Wii (Mario Kart).. thought I’d share the good part… lol
I just wanted to take a quick second to point out the Research navigation link at the top of my blog. It is the collection of over 600 blog posts, articles and snippets of research I’ve done on Social Media, Web 2.0 and Online Communities. It isn’t organized, but it is searchable and I am constantly adding new things to it. By the way, it is a Public Notebook from Evernote - which is an amazing note taking (and sync) tool.
Here are some searches I’ve found particularly helpful:
Kyle Loza, X Games gold medalist, Saddleback Member and founder (?) of Riders for Christ - pulled off this trick yesterday - you will have to watch it several times to get how amazingly ridiculous this trick actually was…
I’ve been a fan of Alltop.com ever since it came out. Its a great resource to view the best web resources over a range of topics (my favs: Social Media, Mac, GTD and Frienderati). Well I saw today they launched a Modern Church section and I was thrilled to find my blog included!!
Go check it out, I also included a badge in the side bar for future reference - fun!
Whoa, was just in the Apple store in Irvine when I felt my first legit earthquake. It was just a big shake and then everything swayed for about 45 seconds. Craziness!
