Se lee rápido. Jajaja
Mucha gente me pregunta cómo hago para leer tanto. No tengo televisión. Ni pago suscripción a Netflix. Esencialmente, si tengo un momento libre, especialmente en la noche antes de dormir, leo hasta que me vence el sueño. Y leo muy rápido. La habilidad la he desarrollado a lo largo de toda una vida de lector empedernido. Pero tiene su técnica y entrenamiento si se quiere aprender. Este libro explica muy bien cuáles son estos. En resumen, no subvocalizar o evitar otros hábitos de lectores lentos como leer palabra por palabra o peor, sílaba por sílaba. Se pueden entrenar las sácadas oculares para leer frases enteras de un golpe. Si la lectura y la familiaridad con el tema lo permite, se puede leer en diagonal, parando solo en las palabras importantes, marcadas de algún modo gráficamente. Títulos, subtítulos, enumeraciones, introducciones o resúmenes de cada capítulo o el libro, índices y otros paratextos como solapas ayudan a esta lectura más superficial y más rápida. Tiene numerosas ventajas poder leer tan rápido. Desde Kennedy, entrenan a todos los Presidentes de los Estados Unidos para desarrollar esta habilidad, y los grandes hombres de negocios la suelen poseer. Es muy productivo leer rápido. Así que si se te acumulan los libros, recomiendo esta técnica. Idealmente se puede llegar a ser capaces de leer un libro al día. Doy fe.

Was more about the concept of speed reading than practical tips and how to do it. Didn't learn that much in the end and also am not 100% convinced of the concept.
Chapter 13 was just kind of weird.

Book notes:
"Speed reading will empower you, help maintain your focus, and increase your levels of comprehension. "
"Speed reading will give you the ability to read at least one book a day. Imagine how much information you can attain and retain! You can join the ranks of very successful people around the world who consider reading as an important tool to thrive in almost every area of life."
Readlax: #1 Speed Reading App. Read 3x Faster! (promo)
"the average person can read approximately 200 to 250 words in a minute, or take about 2 minutes to read a page of a document? With speed reading, you can actually double your reading rate of words/minute."
"The art of speed reading improves your comprehension skill by allowing you to have a “bigger picture” grasp of what you are reading. As a skill, this can be advantageous to your work or profession. "
"Reading is a complex skill. Different people have different ways on how they make sense of letters and how they are put together. It is not true that you need both of your eyes to be focused on a specific letter within a word. Each eye can actually focus on different letters simultaneously, normally two characters away from each other. Your brain puts these images together and constructs the word."
"Typically, people learn to read when they begin school and they are commonly taught to do so word by word. Word by word reading causes the eyes to be fixated on only one word, sometimes the previous one, taking the reader back a step in reading and comprehension. This mechanical form of reading is rather slow, but this is the most common way through which people read and comprehend."
"There is fixation – basically staring at a word or a couple of words which usually takes a quarter of a second. Then one’s eye will move to another word or set of words, the process is called saccade, and it takes a tenth of a second. Then the reader repeats the cycle and pauses about half a second to comprehend what he or she just read. These mechanical processes put together become the reason why an average person can read about only 200 to 250 words a minute."
"The different types of reading are:
- Mental reading
- Auditory reading
- Visual reading.
Mental reading is also known as sub-vocalization. It is a way of reading wherein one sounds out every word internally, much similar to saying something to yourself. Mental reading is the slowest type of reading. Readers who practice mental reading can read to about 250 words a minute. Auditory reading is a bit faster, as it requires the person..."
"The fastest type is visual reading. Instead of sounding out the words or hearing them, the reader comprehends what the word means by sight, making them read an average of 700 words a minute."
"There are reading materials that you should never speed read. You must know when and how to adapt a reading technique according to the material on hand."
"The concept of “reading by letters” was changed when it was proved, through studies and experiments, that people have the ability to read not just one word, but a group of three, five, or even more words at a given time."
"Here’s how speed reading expands the natural way of reading: You see the words. Initially you read a group of words (usually 3 to 5) at a glance. If they are words that you are familiar with, you don’t have to read them one by one. Next, you magnify your vision and try to read and comprehend more words at a glance. Many well-practiced speed readers can easily see and process about 10 to 16 words. Then you magnify your vision to read line by line, horizontally and vertically, per page. Most good speed readers can easily see and process about 2 to 3 lines at once."
"You do silent reading. Average readers sound out words as they read. This is okay for beginners but if you want to speed up, you will have to do away with it. Speed readers can read without the voice (not even a whisper in their mind) and just use their eyes and brain."
"You decode the words. The mind decodes words that you fail to recognize. It breaks the words into syllables and tries to get the meaning then pronounce it. When you don’t know what it means, you check the dictionary. An average reader will take a much longer time to read when they encounter unfamiliar words. As you read more material, you are introduced to more new words. You will eventually increase your speed reading rate whilst you also continue to expand your vocabulary. You will find it easier to decode words after that. You comprehend the material. Learning something and understanding it is the purpose of reading. It is not just seeing letters, words, phrases or sentences put together – it’s about getting the whole thought, obtaining information and probably gaining new perspective. When it comes to speed reading, the level of your comprehension can be determined by the following concentration, extensiveness of your vocabulary"
"Concentration: Whenever you read, you need to have concentration. Speed reading would require double the average amount of concentration you put into reading text."
"Extensiveness of vocabulary: When you have a wide vocabulary, you will find it easier to understand the material you are reading."
"Reading speed: It is not just about reading fast – it is about reading wisely. It’s all about perspective: a speed reader knows when they need to speed up and when they need to slow down and take his time."
"Before you begin to apply speed reading techniques, you need to know where you are right now as a speed reader."
"IF YOU READ 1 to 200 WORDS PER MINUTE, You are very likely a TALKER (translated: SLOW READER). This means that you read words at the same speed as you speak. Talkers usually practice sub-vocalization – you may even find yourself moving your lips as you read. Talking back or sounding out holds you back because you are hearing your voice in your head and you can’t go any faster than the way you talk."
"IF YOU READ 200 to 300 WORDS PER MINUTE, You are considered an AVERAGE READER. You only probably read when you have to, and you won’t take up reading as a hobby."
"IF YOU READ 300 to 700 WORDS PER MINUTE, Consider yourself an ABOVE AVERAGE READER. You are someone who rarely vocalizes and you can read chunks of words at a glance while completely understanding the material."
"IF YOU READ MORE THAN 700 WORDS PER MINUTE, You are a SPEED READER! You find yourself reading more than 10 words at a glance... You can read both vertically and horizontally without much problem. You have great comprehension. You not only enjoy reading, but you are very confident about your skill."
"Myth 1. When you speed read, you don’t enjoy reading. This is false because speed reading actually allows you to read more efficiently. And when you read more efficiently – you not only save time, you also understand more!"
"Myth 2. When you speed read, you don’t have to understand as well and as much as average reading. This is untrue since speed reading requires a higher level of focus. When you concentrate well, you will also comprehend things better. With speed reading, you are able to read in context and understand better in the least amount of time. "
"Myth 3. When you speed read, you skip words. You don’t skip anything when you speed read, the difference is that you no longer read the text word by word. Speed reading makes you read words in chunks or by line so you don’t fixate your eyes on just one."
"Myth 4. When you speed read, you need to move your finger across the text. A guide or a pacer is a helpful tool when you begin to learn speed reading. You use it to mark where you are on the page to prevent regression and help you keep focus."
"Here are some more reasons that will help you decide to start learning and improving on your speed reading skills: You will have develop better time management... You will be empowered... You become more confident. Speed reading can improve or strengthen your personality... You will have better memory. A lot of people can read through something and forget what they have read after a while. Speed reading techniques can increase your understanding of a topic or fact that you have come across... You will feel more relaxed. People who read will tell you that it can be a very relaxing, stress-busting pastime... You will enhance your learning capabilities. Speed reading is a way to enhance your focus. When you know how to give your full concentration on whatever task you are doing, you will get better at it – this applies not just to reading... You will be more sophisticated with your thinking. Science says that speed reading can positively affect the brain’s neuroplasticity... You will have less stress. Since speed reading trains you to focus, through it you would be able to increase your meditation skills... You will be inspired to achieve or dream more. With enhanced memory, focus, thinking, and creativity, you will find yourself aspiring for more... You will be more innovative as a leader. Speed reading can enhance your thought processes and make you a better leader... You become good at problem-solving. Speed reading allows you to reframe problems by understanding key ideas and unlocking your imagination."
"Studies indicate that the subconscious mind solves problems at 100,000 mph while the conscious mind can only go at a maximum of 150 mph." !!!
"How does speed reading help you solve problems faster? Speed reading gives you the skill to course more facts and figures to your subconscious. When the subconscious has more information, it can solve problems better. This is called logic training. When you speed read, you train your brain to be more efficient at receiving and understanding new information then connecting it to what is previously stored."
"Remember, the goal of learning to read fast is more than just speed – it is to become more efficient at reading and comprehension."
"Sub-Vocalization... young readers were trained to pronounce every word in their heads or mutter under their breaths while they read... Their reading speed is similar to how fast they talk. While it is conventional, sub-vocalization prevents a person from improving his reading speed."
"the average talking rate of a person is 200 to 250 words per minute. When you sub-vocalize, you read at the same speed."
"Here are some tips on how to stop “saying or hearing words as you read” and kick that bad habit out of your life: Don’t read for sound. This means that you read for meaning. It is a lot like listening. You hear words – but the voice is not yours – and your brain makes the connection of what the speaker (in this case, the author) is trying to send across."
"Stop those lips from moving."
"Quiet the inner reading voice."
"Think of words as symbols instead of sound."
"Take in more words. When you widen what you see, you are making yourself read more words and your brain stops vocalizing. Speed reading is all about focus. Concentrate hard and find thought units and not words in sentences."
"Word-by-Word Reading. This is about focusing on reading separate words instead of ideas. You can get the gist of a phrase or sentence in groups of words instead of taking it one by one."
"learn how to properly chunk words together and get what they mean as a block."
"You can increase your vision span to absorb in more words and still understand the concept."
"Creating blocks of words, also called “word-chunking”, is a way to eliminate sub-vocalization."
"Chunking means you train your eyes to read a set of words at once."
"Read one block as one concept"
"Ineffective Eye Motion. As with reading word by word, when you don’t use your peripheral vision to work your way across the text, you will be a slow reader. When your eyes are not trained to take in a lot of words or a whole line of text, you will read ineffectively."
"Normally, your eye can see about an inch-and-a-half at a time – this means that it is possible to view up to five words at a glance."
"To overcome ineffective eye motion, you need to relax and expand your gaze. By doing so, you will not see a single word specifically, but blocks of words that hold meaning."
"Regression. Skipping back to the words you have already read is called regression. This is a common practice of slow readers... When you regress, there is the danger of losing your comprehension of the whole subject."
"If you want to be able to read fast and comprehend well, take away as much distraction as you can. Set up a conducive reading environment. Try to avoid multitasking as you read."
"A speed reader has greater comprehension when they read in chunks or phrases since there is stronger meaning conveyed."
"Speed reading is not just about moving your eyes quickly across the page, it is about having good focus while maintaining a wide span of vision."
"The fewer fixations, the faster reading."
"If you are a slow reader, you will read this sentence in 5 to 8 eye fixations – as your eyes go word by word. When you are a fast reader, you will have greater span of vision and be able to read this in two or four eye fixations only.
["A thing | of beauty | is a joy | forever."]
["A thing of beauty | is a joy forever."]"
"Your background, education, and interest all factor into your rate of speed reading. Your knowledge of a topic will influence how fast you read per eye fixation."
"Eye Fixations and Vocabulary The wider your vocabulary, the greater your word recognition will be as you read."
"If you want to get an average of your speed rate (words per minute), count the number of lines you can read in a minute then multiply by ten – you use 10 because it is the average number of words per line in printed books."
"Speed reading is more than just getting through a material very fast. It is about understanding the information you have just read better and quicker than you normally would. Speed reading is about efficiency. "
"Remember that proper posture is essential."
"Make sure to practice proper posture when reading. When sitting, push your hips far back to the chair. Your feet should be flat on the floor. Your knees should be a bit lower or at the same height as your hips. Get an ergonomic chair – your back should have proper support."
"Regular meditation will help you a lot because it frees your mind from distractions and mental clutter."
"A relaxed mind will have a higher level of concentration."
"Read in intervals. A 50-minute interval is the most ideal time for focusing on an individual task, according to Peter Drucker."
"Speed reading will empower you, help maintain your focus, and increase your levels of comprehension. "
"Speed reading will give you the ability to read at least one book a day. Imagine how much information you can attain and retain! You can join the ranks of very successful people around the world who consider reading as an important tool to thrive in almost every area of life."

"Speed reading is more than just getting through a material very fast. It is about understanding the information you have just read better and quicker than you normally would. Speed reading is about efficiency. "
"Remember that proper posture is essential."
"Make sure to practice proper posture when reading. When sitting, push your hips far back to the chair. Your feet should be flat on the floor. Your knees should be a bit lower or at the same height as your hips. Get an ergonomic chair – your back should have proper support."
"Regular meditation will help you a lot because it frees your mind from distractions and mental clutter."
"A relaxed mind will have a higher level of concentration."
"Read in intervals. A 50-minute interval is the most ideal time for focusing on an individual task, according to Peter Drucker."

خیلی کتاب خوبی بود . راهکارهای جالبی برای افزایش سرعت مطالعه ارائه میده که با تمرین قابل دستیابیه .
از متن کتاب:
"به یاد داشته باشید که مجبور نیستید خود را برای خواندن آنچه دیگران میخوانند تحت فشار قرار دهید.مطالعه باید برای برخورداری،لذت و تحصیل خود شما باشد.فقط به این دلیل که کتابی پرفروش ترین کتاب بازار است مجبور نیستید دست روی آن بگذارید؛زیرا اگر موضوعش چیزی باشد که هیجان انگیز نمیبینید،فقط علاقهی خود را از دست میدهید."

به پیشنهاد کسی این کتاب رو خوندم، از اونجایی که خوندنش یک ربع هم زمان نبرد، فکر کنم نیازی بهش نداشتم:))

I enjoyed it and I was already applying the tips taught in the first chapter. This is the first book - or any sort of literature - I've picked up on speed reading and was pleasantly horrified that I'm actually a pretty slow reader (and I have had to read books both for a living and for post graduate studies!) I also appreciate the tip on spreeder.com, and whether or not it's an endorsement, I've gleaned so much from the free 7-day trial. Recommended if you're new to speed reading and may even want to teach older children this skill.

There is some good information in here about the subject as well as some helpful tricks on more than speed reading, such as eye exercises, reading practice motivation and discipline.
It was overall a nice read, but it was an introduction to speed reading rather than a comprehensive approach to learning it.
I was already trying the method I learnt so far while reading this book :) As a first read on the topic it was excellent. I will now read more on speed reading to study and practice it.

I like this book because it gave you the reasons of speed reading, and exercise for your eyes. But on how exactly you should do the speed reading, or any challenges that you could take for speed reading? The author didn’t explain it in a deep way. I chose Jim Kwik’s video compared to this.
However, I like the way the author writes, it's given me a lot of social media content inspiration!!!

How do we read better and faster than normal average reader?
This book gives a real insight into skimming and the improvement of tiny details of reading skills such as not reading with your voice and use inner voice instead. Nothing new to learn but of course a good book.

Complete waste of time. This is like an extended sales pitch telling you all the reasons you might want to learn speed reading, but he doesn’t sell you anything by the end. This is just fluff to put the “author’s” name on a book.
August 24, 2022
A great book, finally it has made me rethink what I have been thinking about speed reading. An eye opener I would suggest if you just want to read, then even these tips and exercises will benefit. Thank you for the wonderful work.
September 29, 2023
Interesting, but at the end I'm not actually sure what I've learned, other than try to read faster. Practical aspects were not dealt with thoroughly, and I'm dubious about some of the claims made - it would have been better backed up with research.

Read Wikipedia instead
This genuinely appears to be written for someone who is new to the both the concept and term speed read. Fine for a free read, but would not buy...

A practical book! Speed reading was a new concept for me but this book actually taught me something! It's short and easy but at the same time useful!
July 1, 2020
This was a great read. I’m super pumped to practice and learn the tips shared in this book to help me read faster and not just read fast but also grasp the concept of what I’ve read.

Seemed like it was written by someone who got paid to write a how-to e-book on the topic of their choice.

I speed read this book.
April 15, 2021
This was a quick read. While nt a lot of depth here there are a few helpful nuggets.
January 29, 2022
Very succinct and short. I speed read this book.
It’s good for a complete beginner to speed reading but just a bit basic for me.

نویسنده خیلی کوتاه و "سر فصل وار" روش هایی رو برای تندخوانی مطرح کرده.
May 29, 2025
نسبت به حجم کمی که کتاب داشت، به نظرم رسالت خودش رو انجام داد. فصل ۱۳ رو خیلی دوست داشتم توصیههاش کاربردی بود، همچنین ورزشهای چشمی هم جالب بودند.

"زندگی برای خواندن کتاب های کثیف خیلی کوتاه است." یه سری کتابان وقتی میخونی نمیفهمی اینی که خوندی کتاب خوبی بود یا نه، این کتاب هم اینجوری بود. هیچی از تند خوانی نمیدونستم و با دیدن نوشته روی جلد که روزی یک کتاب بخوانید بود تصمیم گرفتم شروعش کنم بخش زیادی از کتاب فقط در حال تبلیغ تند خوانی بود ولی راهکاری نمیداد. تا اینکه چند تا راهکار و تمرین داد راستش هیچکدوم به دلم نشستن. نمیدونم تند خوانی اینی بود که من توی این کتاب خوندم یا نه ولی هرچی بود نسبت به تندخوانی کاملا سرد شدم. شاید در آینده یه کتاب دیگه درباره تند خوانی بخونم شاید. امیدوارم اگه این کتاب رو خوندید برای شما مفید باشه.
مراقب همدیگه باشیم کنار همدیگه باشیم.
