Set aside time. Take out a few 3 x 5 cards and write notes. Remind yourself of the key things that mattered. Ponder whether you’ve changed. Determine if you’re using the teachings without thinking about them. Revisit and reconsider. Share your learning outward.

All of those will give you some potential ways to improve yourself with resources you already own and that you’ve already identified as valuable to yourself. And, as an added BONUS HACK, if you don’t really like the book upon re-reading, donate it to your local library and make room on your shelf for better books. –Chris Brogan is a bona fide bibliophile.
