The authors teach you how to read great books like you'll have them for a few days then never see them again--giving you the tools you need to make them your own and to remember them in a year or a decade. This includes learning to read on four different levels: analytically, synthetically, critically, and syntopically (more than one author on the same topic). Once you master the book, practice the techniques in a seminar or in a reading group. It's hard to read great books on your own (they are rarely easy to understand, or they would not be called great). It takes support and a few months to turn these reading techniques into habits.

This book did not help at all I did not know how to read it :/

If you want To learn how to read better, then this is the book for you! Adler breaks reading down to four levels which can be mastered by anyone.

Adler does a great job breaking down the purpose and methodology of the reader.
