1. pick a philosopher
2. pick a work
3. read it.
4. read all secondary literature you can find on it
5. pick another of his works
6. continue until you are finished and have mastered that philosopher.

if you get bored in any of the first five steps, it means you've picked the wrong philosopher or philosophy isn't for you. in any case by the time you're done with this you now know enough about that one philosopher for his thought to be your lens on another philosophy, and you can start to widen your horizon. don't be lured into the survey meme. it's bullshit and you don't retain anything that you couldn't learn on wikipedia.
