Kurukawa

Read a small book during the weekend. It was [讀書術] written by Yasumasa Kurukawa (黑川康正).

I read it at least a handful of times before. It is, in fact, one of the few books that I deliberately thumb through again every few years. Well, you may find the title somewhat explicit. It is written by a Japanese expert in public examination, and there is no commandment of life or other great topics in philosophy. All it has is a list of practical ways to gather and organize information for a profession.

But I consider that one of the most important capabilities to master.

PS. A poetic subject of our current medical students is Life Long Learning Skill, which largely focuses on gathering information from Internet and interpretation of medical literature. In reality the most important aspect of this subject, in its literal sense at least, is how to handle information overload.
