Lctra Rpda – La Biblia de la Lectura Rápida: Un Libro de lectura Rápida Con 37 Técnicas, Sugerencias y Estrategias para la Lectura Super Rápida (Técnicas ... Acelerado nº 1) (Spanish Edition) Kindle Edition

I teach speed reading, and am working on my ownspeed reading program, and use many of the tips,and techniques that are in this book.Speed reading is just about a must now days, as moreand more information is out than ever before, and itis a problem if you can not "get ahead" of it.Note, I did not say, KEEP UP, as that is not good enoughany longer.Have you ever watched people, read books, newspapers,magazines, tech manuals, reports.........so fast, you wonderhow can they do that, and get a wee bit upset, that you can'tread like that.Well, this book will get you started reading at a faster speed thanyou ever have been able to.A persons mind holds them back from reading faster, as they think,this is as fast as I can go.That is one of the things you must get passed.I read and review a book a day.It could be two, but I also read 5 magazines, and teach speed readingclasses.So, you see........it can be done.Don't wait any longer, start reading faster.........NOW.

This book could be long, or have many techniques, but OH BOY!! It really improves! You start to apply the first techniques and you can see the difference. The author is right, we read as we were on the first gear. My main language is Spanish but I could see the speed difference reading Spanish Books And English Books. Awesome! If I only had this book 10 years ago when I was in the University, but it's OK. Now I can read faster and understand faster.Be patience because you are learning a new way to read. Your brain could say: "Hey! What are you doing?, you're reading wrong! Stop!" You maybe could have some headaches but is like when you start to run or go to GYM for the first time. But every day you see the improvement. And you want to read more, and more. I'm still practicing, and have a lot of fun.The book is well structured and the author explain in a very easy way so you can understand the techniques. You can think this book is only for professionals but I think it can work for children and teens. HAVE FUN!!

I've never particularly like reading books. My mind would wander to more interesting things, and everything I read would go in one ear and out the other. But when I started going to university I realized that I needed to learn to speed read to get through it. This realization was 6 days ago. I bought the book 5 days ago. Finished it 3 days ago (I sped read the speed reading book) and have already gotten ahead in my school reading, and bought another 300 page book just to read for pleasure. I'm 25% of the way done that extra book already and I just got it 1 day ago.I was reading at 180WPM, within a day of this book I was reading at 350wpm with higher comprehension, because I found that the faster I read, a) the less frustrated I got and b) the more attention to the book I had to pay. As of now I'm up to 500wpm.I've already got friends asking me about this book because they're finding they need to learn to speed read as well. I'd definitely give it a buy, especially for the price.

There is really no new information in this. It focuses on speeding up non-fiction reading. Basically it says, if you know what you are looking for, you can save yourself time. The really interesting thing I found in this book was the chapters on 'photoreading' which this book calls 'downloading'. Now this is a bit of hocus-pocus. Basically they say to flash pages in front of your face without reading and the pages go directly into you unconscious mind. Then you have the incredible task of 'activating' it, by essentially speed reading. I laughed at this part of the book. It would be interesting if they could prove this kind of thing. Also, the note-taking technique which they call 'mind-mapping' and 'rhizomapping' is curiously interesting. Anything which forces you to think about what you are reading is going to help you remember it. But we know all this already yes? So 3 stars from me. It's still worthwhile if you like to read non-fiction and want some techniques to speed it up.

Me parece que es el libro sobre lectura rápida más completo que he leído hasta ahora, a su vez no da vueltas sino que va directo al grano.

This book has a comprehensive collection of many theories of speed reading. They are very enlightening. One can apply to himself whatever helps. People have different obstacles to overcome. One program may help one person, another program may help another. I was able to find those programs that help me. This book will prove useful to many people who are seriously interested in improving their reading ability.John Bacevicius

Very good book. Really helps to understand spd rdng techniques and improve your memory. Even more than that: it teaches how to improve your overall learning experience.The only bummer: electronic version that I bought for my kindle app for ipad is messed up: almost all images don't match the text. They appear in the book but five to ten pages behind the text.Would be great if it could be fixed and I could download the updated version.Five start for contents, four stars for electronic version.

I'm interested personal development and I always have masses of material to read in a very short time so I was desperate for some techniques that could help me - and frankly somewhat sceptical that this book could help. Surprisingly it did. Initially I found myself reading about techniques but saying to myself 'Yes, but....' and coming up with excuses about why I couldn't use them. So I embarrassed myself by laughing out loud on a train when I turned the page and came to a section called 'Yes but' which gave all the excuses I had come up with, but then said what to do about them. To cut a long story short - the techniques work.

Bought for my niece studying her Arts subject A-levels. She says it has been helpful in teaching her to read quickly for academic purposes. She's now going on to History at uni...Speed reading is essentially about reading for your objective and learning to sight-read, rather than what we were taught as children in reading to ourselves in our head. Instead of slow internal vocalisation, you will learn that there is no need to read it 'out-loud to yourself' in your mind, once your eyes have seen the words they are in your brain, you can then just understand it.Requires us to train ourselves, and this book is an excellent teacher. This willl massively increase your reading speed and reduce how much energy it requires you to read texts.

This is hands down the best speed reading book I have read to date! My opinion is that the skills presented within this book should be taught as part of the education system. This would have made a significant difference to my study after Secondary education.In a nutshell, Spd Rdng - The Speed Reading Bible, presents 37 techniques/concepts to improve your reading. I particularly liked how the book is laid out; allowing the reader to read through chronologically, or skip to areas that are of most interest. The authors do provide a speed reading 'map' of the techniques in a progression, however, as they mention in the book, you can create your own system.The 37 techniques are well laid out, easy to read,digest, then put into practice and do make a difference, I only wish I'd had this book many years ago during academic study! I have cut my non-fiction reading into 20 min chunks, whilst retaining a high level of understanding, also recall. More importantly, cutting down overall reading time by many hours. However, like any skill, to become proficient it takes lots of practice. I am currently experimenting with downloading and rapid reading skills from the book.The latter part of the book provides an opportunity to try out the various techniques. I also found the short passages very interesting, particularly, 'The History of Speed Reading' which shows where the authors developed their ideas from for their comprehensive 'system'.To get an overview of the 37 techniques you can email the authors, and they will send you a pdf file containing brief summaries. Google - 'Spd Rdng' to find the website. After reading the book I had some questions which Jan Cisek was kind enough to answer via email too.In conclusion, this book is I deal for people who:Want to save timeImprove comprehensionAid study skills for examBecome more purpose readersIncrease reading speed (in the first few chapters you can double your reading speed!)Learn speed reading techniquesDownload large quantities of material into your subconscious

Good book for advanced speed readers and photoreaders. You learn a lot of good advanced techniques which will help a lot in the long term. But for beginners I would not recommend this book you will find it complicated to understand. I would get tony buzan speed reading book to get you started along with triple your reading speed by wade Culter.

Some of the speed reading techniques in this book seem really obvious, but they were a really good reminder to me to DO THEM. (I wasn't even doing the ones I knew about.)And once I'd had some success with the easy ones (like working in 20-minute blocks and previewing everything) I felt more confident about trying some of the others.The hardest thing I found was to get a good purpose and stick to it. The first time I was trying to get too much information, but then I realised that I only need a purpose for my20-minute work session and things started improving. But then I found that I was finishing too early, and I realised my purpose wasn't big enough!Anyway, I got there in the end. I can pretty much decide on a good purpose now (most of the time anyway) and I've also worked out that if I see other things I'm interested in,I don't get distracted (I just note where they are and decide what to do about them when my session is finished.) But now I've cracked it, I think that this one technique makes the most difference.It really makes me think about what I want from a book, so sometimes I'm very happy to just get the main message about what its about (the newspaper technique - relaly useful!) and then move on to the next book.The only exception for me is novels - I really like reading novels quite slowly so I can really get into the story (but the Spd Rding book says its Ok to do that).The other really good technique is syntopic processing where you read four books in one session, but then you really need to know what your purpose is because you can't read everything in all of the four books in 75 minutes, but you can get loads of information which I would never have got using any other method.I suppose the best thing now is that I can read quickly if I want to, but I don't have to.I haven't done all the techniques yet, but I'm going to try them all because I'm already reading so much quicker than I used to.I really recommend it!

Read at the recommendation of the founders of my company. Some of the techniques I had developed on my own. Some of the techniques I have heard about them before. But still, it is a good collection of them that will prove useful. I found quite interesting that a good number of the techniques only work on physical books, while another chunk of them will work only if you can reserve time at home/office to read. Neither apply to my usual reading patterns. Still good recommendations.
