I do that with most non-fiction business books. I feel like 99% of them should be articles and I get the idea well before I am done with the book and find the extra length insufferable.
-
watching talks or listening to podcasts from the author usually gets the main points across too

Great habit

Zarin taught me to do that. I bet I do that on 10% of the books I read now
-
Oh man I do that all the time! I usually feel bad when I do it but a lot of times you can get 90% of the message in 50% of the book. The other 10% is just reiteration or various methods of implementation.
-
Definitely. I haven't finished a lot of my favorite non-fiction books.

Two of the most freeing decisions are abandoning a book you don’t need to finish and closing a browser tab that you accept you’ll never get around to

If you find yourself in Las Vegas and have time, I’d be more than happy to schedule an hour long Zappos tour for you and your team.

Where does the "internal pressure" to finish a book come from? I've heard the same from several people. From parents who said, "finish your plate"?
I've always taken books as part of a never-ending flow of knowledge. The beginning or the end of a single book don't matter.

I tried this for the first time with a movie on Netflix recently, the Sci-fi seemed endlessly predictable, so skipped forward just to see how it concludes aaaaannd there was a pretty epic twist I wish I didn’t ruin. Life is short, but sometimes a story surprises you.

I read incessantly and have learned to optimize. If a book does not capture me after 100 pages, I move on.
-
Interesting...I only read books from page 101 on.

The first book I did this with was sapiens. It's like "I get it, these things are all part of a collective story we tell ourselves"

I’ve struggled with this. I keep reminding myself I know where the book is and can go back anytime. Like a city.

You gotta get out more!
I pick favorite chapters and revisit them all the time. The ONLY last chapter I went to was in @GaryJohnBishop’s book. That one is on repeat often.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
