Hey. I'm reading a book called "Triple your reading speed" by Wade E. Cutler at the moment. It's pretty good. It gives you advice, tells you things that hinder you to read faster so you can change them, and it has very many drills, so when you are actually through with it you will have trippled your reading speed. I already notice it while reading, that i get faster and faster
So have fun reading it,

Really? Are you serious? I studied this back in 7th grade,
but this book I'm about to refer to you is quality shit.

It's very time consuming so before I refer that book to
you I'll speak of a better alternative in my opinion.

I found that in speed reading you don't comprehend
everything you read so you have to read the book again.

Only having to read the book once is a skill in itself, reading
it 3x really fast is just time consuming.

The other book I'm about to refer to you is the greatest memory
book of all time and it is painless and very easy compared to
the comlicated speed-reading book.

Here's the memory book (will help with PU)

Ageless Memory by Harry Lorayne- 2007

Here's the speed reading book (good luck)-

Super Speed Reading Secrets by Howard Stephen Berg- 1992

hope this helps,

I will definatly check out your memory book!

I dont know whether its true or not, but in the speed reading book im reading "Triple your reading speed" they say, that with their method you actually dont only read faster, but also comprehend better. Dont know if its true, ill guess ill find out when im through with it .

To put into perspective How much this has improved my reading skill i was listening to an audio book the other day and I was truly frustrated becaause I felt I could absorb information faster through text than with my ears. Good huh. Thanks for the recomendation. How is it different from teach yoursef speed reading

Hey Chris3. I'm assuming that your talking to me
and asking me how the memory book is different from
the speed reading book.

Here's the run down:

Speed reading is very time consuming and you have
to use your fingers to read (which I hate). At first
the author says you will see no results, but you
beed to use blind faith to get over the first
roadblock. If you enjoy reading slowly then I do not
reccomend this book. Unless you have hours of free
time to learn this stuff, don't get it.

The memory book is very simple and can be applied
then and there very quickly.

The system relies on your ability to visualize
pictures in your mind. If you can't do that then sorry lol.

This will enrich all areas in your life as opposed to speed
reading which will only help you read faster.

In this book you will learn:

How to memorize names (the author holds the world record for mem
orizing 7.2 million names, he's legit)

Credit card numbers.
Information in books.
Where you put stuff
Appointments
Routines (if you have a hard time doing so)

He stresses that this is very easy and painless, which it is, as
opposed to the time consuming speed reading book.

Here's an example of his technique at work:

the work is omphalos and it means belly button or navel.

"See" the ridiculous picture of you arm falling loose
going into your belly button.

The ridiculous picture guarantees that you will not forget. Also,
you linked the pronounciation of the word (arm fall loose) with
the definition ( belly button). You created a link between 2
things which is what memory work is really about.

I was lazy, but I hope this sloppy review helps you make the
right choice (memory book ).

Sorry to all those speed readers out there. Sort of gave the book
a bad rep.

pce,
