Document Note:
The author's reading strategy is to start many books but only finish a few. It's not necessary to finish every book you start. Reading should not feel like a chore. "Most books don’t need to be read to the end, but some books can change your life." Therefore, you need lots of inputs but a strong filter to get the most out of reading. Don't limit yourself to reading the same topics or authors. Be willing to try new books, but have a ruthless filter to quickly decide if a book is worth continuing. This applies to all kinds of data and learning. To find the right information, inundate yourself with information but be able to filter out what doesn't work.
