My reading changed after adopting a similar system. Reading on a Kindle and with a new Google doc created for that book, I:

1. Highlight the passages that are important along the way

2. After each chapter I try to summarize its important points and any challenges I have to them.

3. Over multiple chapters, I have a section at the top "Key Ideas" with the top 5-10 points over the course of the book.

4. After the book is done, I edit the doc to include a "My Thoughts" section and gather all my critical thoughts into one place. This is probably the most valuable.

Overall, even if I don't remember the details of a book, now I have a collection of summaries that I can pull up to remind myself about each book if it comes up again later and I need a refresher.

As a bonus, it's super easy to write a review of the book afterward because you have all the pieces almost already in place.

Hard to classify them as "vulnerable" given how successful they've been independently and they're privately held. I'd be "vulnerable" to the right eye-popping offer too, so don't bet on anything right now.
