‘I already got value from page 37’ is a better opener than any compliment, because it is a claim a mentor can check. A page number is proof you actually held the book open, not proof you liked the idea of having read it. This line only works if it is true, so the discipline is doing the Read before you ever plan to say it.
Larry’s PQRST logic ends at Test, and this line is Test spoken out loud: you tried something, and it worked. Vague praise like ‘your book changed my life’ gets a polite nod, a specific page gets a real conversation. The best version of this line names what you did with the idea, not just where you found it.
Mentors hear compliments about their book constantly, they rarely hear a page number attached to a result. This is a small karma deposit too, you are handing them proof their work mattered before asking for a single minute of their time.
Keep the line short, one sentence, then let them ask the follow-up question instead of over-explaining. Larry says the specific line is what separates a stranger who read the book from a stranger who read it closely.
If you cannot name a page, you are not ready to use this move yet, go back and finish the Read. One true, specific sentence about page 37 can do more work than a paragraph of general enthusiasm.
