- 2
Its best chapters reward slow reading: underline sparingly, revisit quarterly.

Pair it with practice: one insight applied beats ten skimmed.
- 4
Watch where the author hedges — that is often where the deepest truth lives.

If you only read one long chapter, choose the one that names your current bottleneck.
