In this podcast, I share what I learnt about how to speed read a book in less than 1 hour! (Or 10x your reading speed)

What is speed reading?
Speed reading is any of many techniques claiming to improve one's ability to read quickly. Speed-reading methods include chunking and minimizing subvocalization. The many available speed-reading training programs may utilize books, videos, software, and seminars.

The two main ways are by changing reading technique and trying some of these reading tricks. Also being clear about why you are reading, and skimming the book. The challenge is to read fast and keep comprehension. For this reason it's also important to improve comprehension speed, note taking and knowing what to focus on., eg., the first line of each paragraph, and first and last paragraph of each chapter.
