More than what I thought

I don't like to read I personally think it's boring. That's why I have Audible, but this book makes it fun. I love the practice test in this book. It keeps you on your toes. This book also teaches you how to understand the material that your reading, its way more than just speed reading. The way material is delivered and taught in this book is just fantastic. It's better than anything I've learned in a classroom or online. The narrator has done a great job with a very informative and engaging voice to keep you glued. Thank you!!!

The last speed reading guide you'll need

I've read and listened to several guides on speed reading, but this is the last I'll need for now. I've begun using some of the techniques and they worked without any significant practice. There are several techniques covered, so you can try several and find one that works for you. At the end, there are even more general techniques for improvement that will work with multiple techniques (such as vocab growth). I'm looking forward to doing more practicing and improving my comprehension with these techniques.

Great content!

I truly enjoyed listening to this audiobook because it had a lot of important information that I wanted to learn about speed reading. I especially enjoyed the chapter on eye health and how to improve your vision including peripheral vision. If you’re looking for an audiobook on speed reading I definitely recommend this book to everyone.

Best book on speed reading

The author did a great job on this one. Was a joy to listen to, incredibly practical and has significantly boosted reading performance just over the past few days. Author does a good job of motivating us to actually do the exercises and overcome any mental barriers we might have!

ENHANCE YOUR READING SKILLS!

Embarking on the journey of enhancing my reading skills, this book by Kam Knight felt like a compass guiding me through uncharted territories of knowledge absorption. Each chapter was a revelation, starting with the fundamental "Purpose." As someone eager to make the most of my reading time, the audiobook was a treasure trove of techniques that promised to unlock a new level of efficiency.

Chapter 2, "Power of Preview," echoed with my past struggles of feeling overwhelmed by lengthy texts. The idea of previewing content before diving in was like a lightbulb moment. It reminded me of my determination to grasp complex subjects faster. Techniques like "Space Reading®" and "Chunking" in subsequent chapters felt like a toolkit for my mind, equipping me to absorb information in a structured and rapid manner.

The chapter on "Eye Health" struck a personal chord. Spending long hours reading often left my eyes fatigued. Kam Knight's insights on maintaining healthy eyes felt like self-care advice tailored to my learning journey. Listening to the audiobook was a transformative experience; it's like acquiring the superpower of rapid comprehension. As I implement the techniques from "Speed Reading," I'm excited to conquer the vast sea of knowledge while honing a skill that promises to be a lifelong asset. Highly Recommended!

It Works!!

By the time I finished the second chapter, focusing on the spaces, my reading speed had already jumped. The idea of pre-reading didn't even occur to me. Looking at the spaces rather than the words was mind-blowing. I never thought such simple techniques would work for me. Chapters 7-9 identified all my errors in my reading technique, followed by how to overcome them. The exercises reinforce each chapter, helping me master the new techniques. This is amazing and highly recommend.

Speed Reading!!

As someone with Dyslexia, I approached this book with caution, fear, and excitement. What I found was an efficient tool that can help me with my reading time. There is a PDF companion that has the exercises that are gone over in the audiobook. I am excited to continue moving forward in my learning to read faster. I can't imagine where I would already be if I didn't have Dyslexia! Everyone can benefit from these tools.
