Speed Read with the Right Brain (David Butler) / Speed reading (Kam Knight)
Summary of the two books on speed reading.
👀 Impressions
💭 Indeed both book are giving some good tips, but the first one seems more repeating itself, while second one is thinner but gives more tips
🪄 Actionable Takeaways
Book one:
- Read meaningful group of words at a time
- Concentrate on whole ideas instead of words
- Conceptualize the meaning of those ideas
Book two:
- Read in chunks (even staring at spaces between words can work)
- Use visual to conceptualize the meaning of words
- Reduce number of fixations
- Stop sub-vocalization, using humming/music?
- Main sentences, subjects of each paragraph
- Vocabulary (prefixes and suffixes), eye health (rest, massage)
