Augmented Reading Training: Learn 10x More From Books With AI

What if you could learn 10x more from books and do it 10x faster? That's a hundredfold increase in your learning rate!

Sounds like a pipe dream? Well, before AI, it might have been. But now, equipped with the right knowledge and prompts, anyone can do it. Best of all, once you've mastered a relatively simple system, you can apply it to any book or valuable source of information.

Right now, you have a chance to learn this system...

Welcome to Augmented Reading.

Most people don't read. Half the people in the US don't even read 1 book per year. If you read more than one book a month, you're probably already in the top 10% of most active readers.

Then, there's how people read. Do you...

• Turn the pages and hope for the best?
• Highlight and take notes?
• Actively reflect on those highlights and notes later on?

Only a tiny portion of people gets all the way to the latter, and it shows—in their minds, habits, and results at work and in life.

Augmented Reading flips the whole process upside down.

With just a few tweaks to make your reading more methodical, you'll extract so much more from each book—and you'll have an easier time remembering and actually implementing what you learn.

Who came up with Augmented Reading? My friend Michael Simmons. Michael and I have a lot in common: We both love writing and have reached millions of readers doing it. We're both insatiably curious. And between the two of us, we've literally read thousands of nonfiction books.

Unlike me, however, Michael also happens to be one of the world's top experts on AI—especially when it comes to how to use AI to supercharge your learning. When he wrote about Augmented Reading for the first time, it instantly became his most popular post.

So, how does it work? And how can you learn it?

Augmented Reading starts with the most important part: choosing what you read in the first place. Before diving headfirst into yet another random book, Michael suggests you...

1. Engage with a book's free metadata—such as summaries, reviews, author interviews, and presentations.
2. Skim the key parts of the book—such as the first chapter and last chapter.
3. Finally, slowly deep dive into the most relevant, high-value parts of the book while taking notes.

This is a great start. But in today's world of complete information overload—especially now that AI is helping us create even more content even faster—it's not enough. But what do they say? If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

If we also use AI to improve our reading, we can further supercharge the process.

If you work with AI while reading, it can...

• Coach you. Create an interactive coach that assesses where you are and conducts a coaching session.
• Teach you. Create a course outline with subsections. Then, when you select a subsection, it creates a 5-minute lesson for you.
• Customize everything to focus only on what's most relevant to you and your life. Many chatbots now have memory and can draw on all your conversations to really help you get the most out of a book with regards to what's most pressing in your life right now.
• Vastly expand the context and breadth of the book. By feeding AI with as little as a few extra author interviews, papers, podcast transcripts, and so on, you can learn from the book not just in isolation but in its larger context.
• Relate adjacent ideas from other, also relevant books to you. Instead of reading just one book on one topic, you'll get a complete overview of everything relevant from an entire body of literature on a subject.
• Summarize and synthesize for you. You'll jump right into the meat of the book and applying it, rather than wading through slow starts and irrelevant information.
• Recommend more great books along the same lines to you. AI can be a great personal book recommender—especially if you don't have a ton of well-read friends who suggest new reads to you all the time (and if you do, the more the merrier!)

And those are just the basics! With advanced Augmented Reading, as Michael calls it, you can even build your own, custom AI, which allows you to reliably apply this same process to every book you read.

In this course (pre-recorded from a live event), Michael and I will teach you everything you need to know about Augmented Reading.

The training is accessible right now and costs $149 (one-time). After that, you'll be a better reader forever (or get your money back).

Augmented Reading is...

• More fun because you increase the value-density of what you read.

• Easier to understand because the AI can simplify complex jargon.
• Made for deeper understanding because through storytelling and coaching, the AI helps you experience the material instead of just consume it.
• Free. Most of the additional material you'll give to the AI, like studies, interviews, and lectures, is completely free of charge online.
• Fast. With this approach, you don't need to read books cover to cover to get the best bits. You still can, but you won't have to sift through the filler for books that only hold 1 or 2 good points. It saves ungodly amounts of time.
• A great way to become a thought leader because the AI helps you create assets you can share online and build an audience, if you'd like.

If you want to learn Augmented Reading and see if it can 10x your reading experience, you should join Michael and my training on the subject. It's...

• Accessible right now, at your own pace and leisure
• Takes around 2 hours
• And will make you a better reader forever

You'll also get over $500 in bonuses, like a written tutorial, Michael's custom bot and a special prompt, instructions on how to do all of this while simply talking to the AI out loud, and more!

Click "I want this!" on this page, complete the checkout process, and we'll automatically send you a link to a resource that includes everything.

Join Augmented Reading and 10x your learning!

We're excited to teach you and learn together.
