4.0 out of 5 stars I thought I could read (and talk) good. But, come to find out, I had so much room to grow!
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2021

I was at a point in my life and career that I knew I needed to learn more. However, I had always had a hard time digesting the amount of information I felt appropriate to move forward. I would have great stretches of time where I would consume a book and feel confident, then I wouldn't pick up a book and make significant progress for months trying to read for hours at a time. Part of that was due to my diagnosed ADHD, which I will address in a minute.

The book does an excellent job at moving you through the process step by step with solid application. If you take your time, which you should, you will find yourself making progress within the first couple days of applying the first couple steps in reading. I know there are many who are frustrated with the book in comparison to other reading methods or those who have taken a course on this method in particular, but this was very helpful for someone who had never attempted speed-reading before. I had heard some of these perspectives in other places, but this brought them together in an easy to follow process. I read at an average pace of 200-250 words a minute. After the first two chapters I was capable of reading at about 500-650 words a minute.

Remember: all of this is a work in progress. I am still finding time to practice the method, but I have retained the 500-650 words a minute speed and can switch back and forth from the 200-250 anytime I wish depending on the material. That is a HUGE improvement. I went from reading a few books a year, one per quarter, to finishing my stack of 6 books within a month. I started this process 6 months before this review was written.

I have ADHD. It is hard to stay focused. Come to find out, the way this method approaches brain function in regards to reading makes sense and helps me focus on my reading. My reading has even started becoming a way to cope with hyper-focus. This method has allowed me to utilize my ADHD to further my learning. I don't think I would be able to even consider a master's degree without these tools.

If you're wondering where to start in regards to reading improvement, I would suggest you start here. It is worth the money to invest in the first step toward your growth.

As a leader of an organization who wants to see his friends grow and succeed, I will be suggesting this method and book to any and all who are looking to grow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Change to way you do school!

First bought a copy of this while in grad school. Needed to become more efficient. While I was skeptical about "speed-reading" it does actually work. This book (if you are willing to work as instructed) will get you reading faster and with better comprehension. It also includes sections on note taking/outlining. By the first month of a semester using this program I would have read the entire course text for that semester and have it all outlined. Made for tough mth but made for an easy rest of semesters and better grades.

This book doubles my reading speed every time I use it. I am glad to find a good copy of my own. (This is my 4th reading of this book). Great for students or anyone who needs to read a lot of papers quickly. Speed reading is now considered one of my most useful skills.

Even though I didn't finished the book yet, I started to use some of the methods taught in the book and they work very well. I used to read at a speed of 250 wpm and now, just a few weeks after and without reading much of the book I manage to go up to 450 wpm

2.0 out of 5 stars Poco utile e superficiale
Reviewed in Italy on January 5, 2021
Verified Purchase
Il libro tocca lo speed reading in superficie, sembra infatti un libro di promozione del corso Evelyn Wood, senza approfondire come si farebbe al corso. Vengono toccati superficialmente molti argomenti, non è incentrato particolarmente sullo speed reading, quest'ultimo affrontato con rapidità quasi scandalosa. Metà delle pagine elogiano i grandi successi del metodo.
