How to Read …Anything

Deep reading for understanding context

We need a deeper way of reading. To think about thinking and to step into new perspectives. Not just faster reading, not smarter note taking, not more highlights. We need a way of reading that increases our capacity to meet complexity, ambiguity, and emergence without collapsing into reaction. The abilty to deeply sense, sensemake and extract of key facts and information of the content and the context. The conditions many leaders, coaches, boards, and practitioners now face are not merely complicated, they are layered, shifting, and relational. In that kind of environment, the old habit of reading for extraction alone is too thin.
