Publisher's summary

Thinking about learning to speed read?

But still not sure it’ll help you?

Or maybe you're still not convinced that reading faster is even possible?

If this sounds all too familiar, then maybe this might just be the audiobook for you.

So by now you’ve probably already looked around and come across lots of different advice and information, which has left you a little confused as where to start.

Unlike many audiobooks and expensive online programs that often promise unrealistic results like how to double your reading speed in just one hour, this guide will give you the most effective approach in how to gradually build your reading speed step-by-step.

Which means you can get on your way to learning how to read faster without wasting anymore time or a ton of money!

Here’s just a tiny fraction of what you’ll discover:

  • How to take in more whilst reading less
  • Think reading faster is impossible? We’ll show you why it isn’t
  • Learn to read faster with practical effective techniques that can be used in everyday reading
  • The real truth about speed reading programs
  • Get to know your starting point and how to achieve realistic goals
  • Crucial exercises that you will need to minimize eye movement
  • The biggest mistakes newbies make when learning to speed read
  • Why people such as President John F Kennedy encouraged people to learn to speed read
  • Proven studies that show that speed reading isn’t just an over-hyped farce
  • The key factors people will often forget to tell you when it comes to comprehension and subvocalization
  • An easy method to calculate your reading speed
  • What you need to know when it comes to using online tools for help
  • The many other benefits you’ll gain through speed reading that often get overlooked or forgotten

And much, much, more!

Take a second to imagine being able to read two or three times faster than you can now, and your visualization to memory skills becoming a lot more sharper as a by-product of this.

How much of an impact would this have on your life? Can you really tell yourself you wouldn’t benefit from this at all?

Even if you're the slowest reader in the world, or just struggle with reading in general, yet you really want to try, pull yourself out of that comfort zone and learn to speed read today.

great skills

so I went through a speed reading class when I was in middle school. I learned back then a lot but this book really brought out a few new skills that I either forgot about or wasn't taught.

I def have more practice to work on my speed reading but I am really looking forward to getting better at it.

Excellent Guide!

Excellent resource if you are a student, training for work or work related tasks. It provides you with techniques that will allow you to comprehend your material faster in a more efficient way.
This book is also included in a 3 book combo but I already had the other 2.
Of course you have to be willing to apply these, but I you really have the need to maximize your time, prepare for a test, this is what you are looking for.
Well narrated; I would definitely recommend it :)

Reading That Gets To the Heart of The Matter

Provides valid insight as to how reading can be adapted to seeking relevant information while eliminating “ the frivolous “ parts of a written work. Especially useful in graduate studies or any college courses where copious amounts of textbook reading assignments are made. Helps to “hone in on the meat of the matter.” Instructions include a sequential step approach that can be practiced until perfected. I would recommend this book and its methods as anyone can improve their reading speed but also comprehension. A good book to listen or read for any adult student!

Great topic

This book had great pointers to follow in order to speed up your reading and comprehension. This will be a great tool to use when needing to read something quickly and fully comprehend for work or school. The narrator did a great job keeping me interested there is life and interest in his voice.

A good tool for helping you increase your reading. Has a few good tips that will help, if you decide to try. The narrator is pretty good, so if you get a chance pick up a copy and enjoy

Basic. And ends with a nearly 30min "preview" (or as) for another book

There are better books on speed reading out there. This one outlines techniques but often feels like it's contradicting itself. The icing was the 30 min advert for another book from the author.

100+ Reviews but none real

Where did all these reviews come from, who posted them, because it is not deserving of a single one.

Useless, rehashed, common sense, uninteresting advice!!!
