Speed Reading: Learn to Read a 200+ Page Book in 1 Hour by Kam Knight

4.0

informative fast-paced

---

Too many books and not enough time? Kam Knight explains the tools and tricks you need to begin speed reading. With short chapters and practice exercises, Knight teaches you how to retrain your brain to read faster without sacrificing your reading comprehension. Although I'm a naturally fast reader, I would love to be able to read even faster. Knight's book was a perfect explanation of how to read faster - usually by focusing on space or chunks of text and removing sub-vocalization. His methods definitely work and I could see an immediate improvement. Unfortunately, the book won't automatically make you a speed reader - you have to actually practice the skills over time.
