Actively reading with a pen by taking notes and highlighting helps your processing of the information and memory. 

Another way to integrate what you’re reading is to join a book club or a read with a friend or group to review what you’ve read.

When reading a book for personal development, read with curiosity – ask yourself how might this be useful in your personal development? 

Try out the ideas and practices offered in the book and see if it is helpful for you.
