To learn more than ever from important non-fiction books, join me on Shortform: shortform.com/justinsung. You’ll get a 5-day free trial and a discounted annual subscription. One of my favorite books on Shortform is Range by David Epstein.
Since this video was sponsored by Shortform, would you be willing to disclose what was agreed upon by you and Shortform as to what content would be put in the video? Did they have significant leverage into what you would and wouldn't say?
I am time-&-again, just surpassingly impressed w/your level of delivered value you impart on this channel. It's invaluable what you do here, Justin. I'm attempting to place some fitting, helpful-expertise in my life (personal & professional). My bandwidth is so taxed, yet, my family and, busn. endeavors... most require it. "I Can Learn"; & "Short Form" (possibly others), I'll be joinin' you through--ASAP. Thanks so much Justin! dbg
My brother is the writer of the Shortform Guide to Range!!! He was SO HYPED to see your video and hear what you had to say!! Thank you for making his (and my family's) day!!! 😄😄🙌🙏
That's so cool about your brother When I first found out about Shortform my first thought was that I wanted to be a writer for them. It's been hard to find information about jobs or where they post open positions but I'm still working on it!
Shortform cheated on me. I signed for one month. In the middle of the month they tried to charge for the next month, but couldnt do it because i changed my credit card number before (knowing about their bad practices). Then they removed my subscription in the middle of the month. BUT I PAID FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH!!
I started with blinkist then switched to shortform. Agree entirely with this video's synopsis. Blinkist is just sparknotes without any real upper level analysis. Shortform is next level and way better for integrating the main ideas of the text into something you can actually use in your daily life.
Watch out! SHORTFORM TRICK After using a 5-day free trial, and paying for a month...they will try to charge you the annual membership fee, and if they fail, they will cancel the monthly membership fee that you have already paid!
Great video! Would be great to see you go through some stem books or chemistry books take a topic and show how you would tackle it. For mathematics this would be a great insight for many STEM students. Great video again look forward to more!
Yes, that would indeed be excellent. might I suggest "Jonathan Clayden - Organic Chemistry" Chapter 25&26. Would be amazing to see what you can do with this method.
@@KingJL25 I’d be happy to take a go at it would be good to see how people break down and organise the content and being able to see the differences using Justin’s methods.
I've just listed myself on the course, I don't know how long the queue is but if you read this (Justin Sung). Please let me enroll because I truly need it... Thanks for reading!
Hey Dr Sung. Thanks so much for sharing so much content. I’d love to see a video on how these concepts could apply to language learning. Im trying to connect the dots but I would love to hear your take.
When I want a summary, I simply use google.🤷♀️ no offense, but these apps seem like a waste. I only enjoy audible fiction. But Non fiction is better in text form or in a public speech form. I don't enjoy non-fiction audio. If I really want a short audio for non-fiction, I look for a podcast interview.
Or buy 1.20$ proxy and everytime you start a book you use 5 days free trial with 10minute e-mail, and sign up with clean paypall. Takes about 5 min to do and you have 5 days to read your book.
Can you make a video on using your method with the fastest way of covering a chapter(in 1 hour) but a lot of time is taken in reading, highlighting and taking notes, I think that if some methods of your system are used in that method it will take a lot lesser time and lead to better learning, Examples -Speed Reading and Chunk Mapping .
Thanks for the video Justin and congrats on the sponsorship. It seems like the concept based shortform summaries follow something similar to a linked Zettelkasten note taking system. Do you have any thoughts on Zettelkasten as a note taking system? What about non linear note taking apps like RemNote, Obsidian or Roam? Remnote allows the creation of flashcards as you write notes. Thanks!
Do you have any recommended readings for improving learning/ retention? Veterinary student here looking for a productive audiobook in my free time! Love your content!!
Hey, really useful review. Thanks a lot!! I know it is a lot of work, but it would be really helpful if you could add sections to the video. I came back a few times to review comparison you made and had to spend some time locating them.
Can anyone explain how to solve questions without knowing the topic as Justin has explained in several of his previous videos as a part of Bloom's taxonomy?
Hello Dr. Justin Sung, I'm curious about the process you use to consume the content in a non-fiction book. Though I have an understanding of your book-choosing filter, I wonder whether you use order control, BHS with the Aim-shoot cycle while reading a book? Or would you prefer reading a book from the start to finish? I greatly appreciate your content, especially your learning course. I'm just interested in how you read nonfiction books, as they are also great source of information :D
Did you focus on neuroscience as a medical doctor? I don’t know how it works in New Zealand, but your focus on optimal learning and conditioning seems neurobased lol.
24 USD per month?! Are you faking kidding me?? Back in India for this much money I can hire someone at my home whose job will only be to read and summarize books for me! And still I can save some money...
You were paid by one of the two platforms to do this review? If so, then your review is worth less than zero. It’s actually biased by design. Rationalize however you will, but you know or should know better. Not good.
Luciana Lima hace 1 segundo You might not know but Shortform and they is using the free trial to charge people. I decided to try by your suggestion and earlier before the free trial end I wrote them to request to cancel it as I couldn't do through the app they respond no account was active, then after some days charged my card almost 160€, I am now complaining and ask for refund and they are nicely trying to refund me 50% just because they are good to customers. In twitter I have already seem complaints on the same. It is completely unfair for me to pay 80€ to not even use this app and having had request a refund. So, folks... don't fool yourself with this company. This is a dirty way to make business, you can keep people's money because of the term of service but this is completely wrong using the free trial to do so. When a customer advise they don't want to continue, cancel it. Shame on you @shortform! If you delete my comment I will copy and past over an over again, my aim is to protect users.

My primary method of learning from books is bashing my head with the cover till I fall asleep (sleep learning)
I prefer having the book open on my table and procrastinate till i am totally drained of serotonin so that i will read it. Try it ! Works wonders !
Woooooah soo deep!
@@yourpiscespenpal7044 Thanks!
I’ll try that later tonight
😂😂🤣

Hey Justin please delete the comment by a bot about investing, this scam is more complex than others and so I think that some people may get scammed.
I agree, the way Shortform summarises and references a similar concept in another book, is fantastic
I've just listed myself on the course, I don't know how long the queue is but if you read this (Justin Sung). Please let me enroll because I truly need it...
Thanks for reading!
Nice. I'm convinced. A perfect balance between a full book, ... and the too short Blinkist summaries.
Honestly the methods of encoding have been game changing for me.
Hey Dr Sung. Thanks so much for sharing so much content. I’d love to see a video on how these concepts could apply to language learning. Im trying to connect the dots but I would love to hear your take.
I just discovered his channel today, and I am wondering this as well.

This is actually pretty cool. First time I hear about these tools, but they will be pretty useful with ambitions of mine. Thanks Sung!
Cen you tell Me step by step what to do when I learning from a Book? Becauce I'm a little bit lost
literally true, the people writing the summaries on blinkist don't seem to truly get or be interested in what they're writing about
Can you make a video on using your method with the fastest way of covering a chapter(in 1 hour) but a lot of time is taken in reading, highlighting and taking notes,
I think that if some methods of your system are used in that method it will take a lot lesser time and lead to better learning,

Glad you got sponsored Sung, your videos about how to study serve me as a guide since i never took much attention into studying before, thanks

RemNote is just awesome
Summary pls 🙏?
What problem we are trying to solve? Etc
Justin plz be consistent
What about Kindle for PC; highlights, note taking, customize fonts and background color, text to speech.
06:00 You can speed the audio up! I watch your videos at 2x+ for example.
Hey, I read non-fiction books for fun sometimes
Do you have any recommended readings for improving learning/ retention? Veterinary student here looking for a productive audiobook in my free time! Love your content!!
Excellent video. Great way to use short form! Will apply this process to my reading journey!
Littler Books is a great free alternative. No audio though.
Hey, really useful review. Thanks a lot!!
I know it is a lot of work, but it would be really helpful if you could add sections to the video. I came back a few times to review comparison you made and had to spend some time locating them.
Just go to the Transcript section.
Which camera do you use for your video clips? iPhone camera, opal?
Do you have any tips or advices for studying for usmle?
Dr,can you tell,did the backsound musik helps you to study?
Blinkist was so disappointing, for all the reasons you gave. I felt like I was wasting more time using blink, as absolutely nothing stuck.
Can anyone explain how to solve questions without knowing the topic as Justin has explained in several of his previous videos as a part of Bloom's taxonomy?
Do it have all the books such as like technical books or architectural books

so is your discount taken of the $16 per month fior annual subscription?
Always greatful to you
Hmmm. Isn't this sponsored?
