Power Reading

by Phyllis Mindell

Business people estimate they spend 40% of their work time reading. Businesses spend trillions of dollars a year on employee reading, yet they don't measure how efficiently that reading is done. This book will NOT show you how to speed read, since, according to the author, speed reading doesn't work. This book teaches the principles of Power Reading, helping you increase your reading efficiency at work by 10 to 70 percent. The book also shows you how to apply Power Reading skills to the computer screen, and demonstrates ways to improve writing, listening and study skills.

This book offers good tools, and it was gratifying to find I already practice some of them. In fact, Mindell encourages some of my practices - shortcuts which I thought might be considered cheating. Now guilt-free, I know I will be a more efficient reader for having encountered this book.

One of the greatest books. You must read this book, it really changed the way I read.
