Rate this book
How much more could you get done if you were able to double your reading speed?

Congratulations! By having this book on your hands, you have taken a very important step to improve your reading skills. As you probably did not have any training in reading techniques since you started in school, now you have the opportunity to learn something new about how to read in a faster, more efficient, and more effective way.


If this is the first time you approach Speed Reading, this book is going to help you master the basics of Speed Reading. Just with this book alone you can read twice as fast, once you put all these things into practice and get skilled at it.


Before starting to read, think about what it would mean to you to be able to read twice as fast. Would you be able to save a lot of time? What would you do with that extra time? Would you use it to read even more or would you use it to do other things? What other things would you do? Do you think it would be helpful for your job being able to read twice as fast as the rest of your peers? What type of impact do you think it would have in your life?


If, after having answered these questions, you are still interested, Congratulations! You are taking the first steps towards the future You, who will read faster, will be more productive, and will remember more of what he reads.


Speed Reading will not only make you a faster reader, but your comprehension of what you read will increase. These are the outcomes I want you to get after reading and practicing what I teach you here:


Improve your reading speed 2x
Save time
Gain confidence
Progress in your work

Now, just keep going on and discover how to be a faster reader.You’re going to find this book extremely useful, as long as you practice what is being taught. Let’s get started!


Materials needed for Speed Reading:


Pen or pencil
Highlighter
Paper
Calculator
Timer
Index card
Reading material that is familiar to you (book, magazine, newspaper…)

What do you Want to Get from this Book?


This may be surprising to you, but here it goes: effective reading does NOT start by simply start reading a book. You are going to multiply your effectivity simply by dedicating three minutes before starting to read to decide what it is that brought you to this book specifically.


You need to establish goals for that book and decide what you want to learn from that material. By realizing what you want to know before starting to read, your mind is going to focus on finding the answers to those questions; and it will be much easier to recognize the information when you see it.


Just ask yourself, before you start to read, these two questions:


Why am I reading this book?
What do I want to learn from this book?

Súper práctico y aplicable

Nunca me había leído un libro tan rápido! Estoy sumamente agradecida por este libro y todo lo que he aprendido con el mismo. Me encanta leer y tengo cientos de libros esperando a ser leídos, tanto libros físicos como en kindle, y pensé que iba a necesitar otra vida más para poder leerlos todos jajaja, ahora con lo que acabo de aprender no solo voy a estar mucho más enfocada en mis lecturas, sino que también lo voy a estar en mis metas en general. Gracias totales!

Un libro que si bien te da algunos tips de cómo mejorar tu velocidad de lectura e incluso tu comprensión a la lectura, desde mi punto de vista, deja mucho que desear. Tal vez solo un 15% se puede parovechar lo demás es solo paja para no dejar en un libro de unas 10 páginas cuando mucho.

Muy útil

En realidad el libro está lleno de buenos consejos para mejorar el aprendizaje de los libros de no ficción. Recomendado para los autodidactas y lectores frecuentes de libros de crecimiento personal.

Excelente libro. El autor te expone bastante bien sus técnicas y se esmera mucho porque el lector entienda y aprenda y me agradó la manera como motiva a saltarse información irrelevante para los intereses del lector pasando por encima de los intereses del autor del libro. Disfruté muchísimo su libro.

Good reading tips

This book gives some good tips for increasing your reading speed. There was some additional information that was not really related to reading speed, but they were useful anyway.

Un libro muy corto y sencillo de leer con algunos consejos generales que se pueden encontrar ya por otras fuentes. Con algunos capítulos de "relleno" con tópicos y recomendaciones bastante básicas y generales que mezclan temas de productividad, con lectura y consejos un poco de perogrullo.

Hay otros libros que conducen a un reaprendizaje de la forma de leer que son más completos porque contienen ejercicios que van incrementando la progresión de a poco.
El título falta a la verdad ya que no se adquiere la habilidad de duplicar la velocidad de lectura en una tarde.
Los tips entiendo no sirven cuando uno lee en un idioma que no es el natural y tampoco creo que funcione en libros de no ficción.

To begin with, How to Double Your Reading Speed in One Evening: Speed Reading Course is not a book to be read in one evening. To get most out of this book it must be studied carefully while doing all the practice exercises. To get most out of this course of study, you should read/skim through it from cover to cover in one sitting to get the general feel for the book, and then go back and study it chapter by chapter. Jose Vergara has packed this small book with a treasure trove of valuable information that covers much more than just the skills of speed reading. Jose presents techniques that will be invaluable to every student, no matter whether they are in middle school, high school, or college. even if you have graduated from high school or college and are pursuing life as a lifelong learner, as an autodidact, as a self-directed learner, this book is a must read for you. We all need what Jose has to teach us. Buy it. Read it. Study it. You'll be eternally glad that you did.

The book teaches you a whole new approach to reading other than what I was taught. A lot of good information, well worth reading.
