Speed Reading for Success: How to Find, Absorb and Retain the Information You Need for Success

I would recommend this audio book to anyone who is new to the idea of speed reading, especially the sceptics amongst us. The exercises are easy to follow and are backed up with intelligent explanations and examples. The history bit at the start is interesting too.

I'd been meaning to go on a speed reading course for ages but never found the time (or the money). I wasn't sure if an audio CD was going to be as effective but gave it a go. I was really impressed at how much progress I made and how quickly my reading speed improved. I still need to consciously apply the techniques the CD covers, but I'm sure with practice it will come more naturally as I change my reading habits.

Logically you would think that if you read a book at twice or three times your normal speed you would seriously impede your comprehension. Well that may be true if you read as you were taught at school. This audio CD has shown me that you can "Speed Read" the most arduous of reports and actually improve your understanding of the subject.

The author offers practical training and exercises to improve and keep improving the "Speed Reading" skill. I listened to the CD over a week and witnessed an improvement almost immediately. I have now made sure that all my team are using the same skills I have learnt.
