“The guide is well organized, thoughtful, and includes a fantastic visual metaphor that Edwards calls the “Hourglass Information Structure”. Edwards may be giving you advice you have heard before (read actively, take notes, know the context), but the systematic way he explains goals, strategies, and techniques makes the article worth reading again and again. For me, the most crucial piece of advice is deciding how much time you can spend and setting a manageable goal for why you want to read it.”
