How to read
Do not try to read the whole book at one sitting. Choose one chapter at a time- the chapter which you think is most relevant to you - and go through that chapter carefully and slowly.
Mark those portions which are applicable to you and print them
Read those parts again and again, if necessary, until you are sure as to how you can deal with the particular issue.
Do not move on to the next chapter until you are sure you have fully absorbed what is conveyed to you.
Complete all the chapters in this way. It does not matter even if the whole exercise takes a month or two. Make sure that you know what exactly to do.
How to take the best out of it
As you read each chapter, keep a notebook handy, divided into two sections-
1. What I want to achieve — My goal
2. How I am going to achive it - Steps I am taking
When you have completed each chapter to your satisfaction, apply your mind and fill up these two sections By the time you finish reading this book, your notebook will provide you the foundation on which you can build your new life.
