More than what I thought

I don't like to read I personally think it's boring. That's why I have Audible, but this book makes it fun. I love the practice test in this book. It keeps you on your toes. This book also teaches you how to understand the material that your reading, its way more than just speed reading. The way material is delivered and taught in this book is just fantastic. It's better than anything I've learned in a classroom or online. The narrator has done a great job with a very informative and engaging voice to keep you glued. Thank you!!!

The last speed reading guide you'll need

I've read and listened to several guides on speed reading, but this is the last I'll need for now. I've begun using some of the techniques and they worked without any significant practice. There are several techniques covered, so you can try several and find one that works for you. At the end, there are even more general techniques for improvement that will work with multiple techniques (such as vocab growth). I'm looking forward to doing more practicing and improving my comprehension with these techniques.

Most beneficial book

I gave this book a try…because who does not want to read with comprehension, faster. It does offer skills to retain information for longer periods of time, enhance concentration, expand vocabulary, and even improve eye health. 😊

Effective exercises are offered to overcome any psychological obstacle, fostering a sense of motivation and determination. I am ready to give these techniques a try on my next read.
An author who is direct and creates results. Beneficial read!!

Top-notch narration

The author is right: the amount of information we constantly take in is absolutely mind-blowing. Reading is different (extremely challenging for so many of us that we often actually avoid it.)

Andrew Rowe's narration is not only education-inducing, it is also quite relaxing and his informational cadences keep the listener engrossed.

One take away blew my mind: reading is not apparent in nature!!! It is something humans created. No wonder so many of us find it so difficult.

I learned so much incredible information from this audiobook, such as information about an amazing organ: the eye, neurological facts, and the most important part; how to accelerate reading like crazy.

Excellent for business owners, students, and pretty much anyone who wants to read like a beast and get the upper hand on their intelligence and endeavors.

Direct Hit!

Reflecting on my academic journey, I deeply regret not discovering this book earlier. My struggles in learning stemmed from a combination of limited time and a stubborn resistance to seeking guidance from others. I harbored a misguided belief that personal trial and error were the only ways to truly learn. For instance, in my quest to read faster, I spent countless hours experimenting with various self-devised methods, only to realize they were inefficient and actually impaired my comprehension.

Embarking on my college journey has been a turning point. It dawned on me that embracing wisdom from others is not just helpful; it's essential for growth. With humility, I've opened myself up to learning from the experiences and knowledge encapsulated in books like this one, which has been a beacon of clarity and effectiveness in my academic pursuits.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the insights this book has provided. Thank you for being a pivotal part of my learning journey.

Great content!

I truly enjoyed listening to this audiobook because it had a lot of important information that I wanted to learn about speed reading. I especially enjoyed the chapter on eye health and how to improve your vision including peripheral vision. If you’re looking for an audiobook on speed reading I definitely recommend this book to everyone.
