Helped me find the balance between speed and comprehension

I’ve always considered myself a slow reader, but I assumed that my only ways to increase speed would involve worsening my comprehension. I’m thankful I found this book to help me challenge this assumption!

The book does a fantastic job explaining the balance between reading speed and comprehension, and it explains several methods you can utilize to slowly increase both. It addresses speed reading myths and bold claims, and offers more realistic expectations for readers.

As a busy mom who often finds myself drowning in work, I’m thankful for the lessons learned in this book to help me increase my efficiency. After only a couple of days, I’m already noticing improvement, and I believe I’ll continue to improve with practice. I highly recommend this book to others looking to cut down on time spent reading.

Listen Only If Serious About Getting Fast

This audiobook blew me away, I've been looking for a book on this topic for a while and wasn't able to find anything in this niche until now.
The advice provided in this book is pretty simple and helpful, I've started applying using a pointer while reading to increase my reading speed.
Highly recommend this book if you're serious in getting faster at reading.

you can really do speed read

I always thought speed read is somewhat a myth, or that you would always lost something in the words if you read too fast. I've always had this belief or shall I say misblief, before reading this book (listening to this book). From the method and strategies in this book, now I can say that I briefly know what it is to speed read a book, or at least how it should be done, and could be done. Becuase I listened to it while I was driving, I couldn't really practice the techniques introduced in this book. Then after I got to the office, I always forgot to test it, because it's usually early mornings are our routine daily meeting time, there's a lot planning and reporting to do in this meeting, and I just had to put everything off from my hand and just dive into the meetings. If it's not for the review prompt I probably would forgot to write this as well, but this is a great book i'd give you that. it's a comprehensive introduction of training your brain to speed read. I'd probably listen to some of the key parts again before practicing some techniques I learnt from it.

Interesting concept

This book provides a lot of knowledge about how exactly we receive and retain information when reading. As someone with adhd I found this to be highly informative and I learned a lot, highly recommend.

So interesting!!

I think it's ironic to listen to this book as an audiobook - lol - but I got a lot out of it. I've already tried some of the practices, and I think it could be a game-changer for me. Excellent narrator too.
