The
promise of this book is that you can read faster and comprehend more. I
am happy to report that it does exactly this. What is more surprising is
that there is no big mystery or complicated techniques. Speed Reading is
one of those things that is ‘simple when you know how’ but looks
impossible when you do not have the knowledge.
What ‘The
Speed Reading Book’ shares is a combination of techniques, based on how
our eyes and brain work. The cumulative benefit of these is a massively
increased reading speed. The average person reads about 200 words per
minute, however speeds of 1000+ words per minute are available to
everyone. The world record is 3850 words per minute.
Obviously speeds of this level take some practise, however you will
experience tangible benefits as you go through the book. There are 7
self-tests for speed and comprehension spaced out through the book,
these allow you to quantifiably chart your progress. This is not just a
book you read and then forget about. Your experience of reading will be
changed by using this book.
In the BBC television
interview below, Tony Buzan explains some of the fundamentals that his
approach to Speed Reading are built upon:
The
speed reading techniques described in Tony Buzan's
book come with a big thumbs-up. They are clear, concise and most
importantly effective! The great benefit, once you’ve learnt to speed
read is that you have so much extra time to put into practise all the
information you will be absorbing, and so start moving towards the
results you want even more quickly.
So…if…you…are…tired…of…reading…so…slowly…take the first step and order
this book right now from Amazon online.
