Short and to the point! I wish other nonfiction books were like it.

4.0 I really think this book it amazing. It was short and to the point, with no random research or anything. It had a lot of activities. However, the Subvocalisation bit didn't really work. Although it recommended the same thing, there are many other books and video it gave ways to put them into action.

Speed Reading is a practical and helpful guide for those of us who fall into reading slumps, want help with our concentration, or also for people who just want to improve their reading speed in general. You’ll learn to master techniques that will help you learn information quickly and with more ease.
Kam Knight teaches us the importance of eye health (yes I need to wear my glasses more 🙄), tips for memorising - like using highlights - (which many of us already do), and the reasons why our reading speed can drop. We want to ensure we are always retaining information of non-fiction books, and following and remembering the plot of fiction books etc. Otherwise what is the point of reading in the first place?
Reading has always been my superpower, I’ve always been a naturally quick reader. In childhood, I was always the one waiting for my peers at school to catch up with the latest Harry Potter or Series of Unfortunate Events novels, for example. The hobby was always there through the years, but I’ve actively been trying over the past 5 years especially, to get myself to be the avid reader I always was when I was younger again.

Od czasów podstawówki i dodatkowych zajęć Engram z technik nauki i szybkiego czytania, naprawdę nic się nie zmieniło xD co oczywiście ma sens, wiec ja nie wiem po co czytam kolejną książkę na ten temat.

I did a speed reading course in high school but due to my work found myself needing to increase my speed even further. It’s always good to stretch a muscle, but I’m not sure how helpful a book on the subject is without an assisted practical component. The exercises included are helpful but limited if you aren’t consistently practicing.
