Speed Reading articles

Tim Ferris, a well-known entrepreneur and a voracious learning machine, has mad a nice speed reading article about speed reading.
Other great resources about speed reading:

Some people may argue whether speed reading works. I myself used to apply Paul Scheele's Photoreading Mind System to technical books. It did not give me measurable results.
So after I did a research on Photoreading, I read that NASA made some interesting tests. The report can be found NASA Photoreading report.

Bottom line:
-Does photoreading work? yes but not for technical stuff.
-Does speed reading work? yes, and for technical stuff: use slow reading, because comprehension is important.

  2. I think what you wrote made a ton of sense. But, think about this, what if you added a little content?
    I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your blog, however what if you added a post title that
    makes people want more? I mean "Speed Reading articles" is a little
    boring. You ought to peek at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create news headlines to get people to open the links.
    You might add a related video or a picture or two to get readers excited about what you've got to say.
    In my opinion, it would bring your posts a little bit more interesting.

  3. It's difficult to summarize this section without misleading
    readers, so here. There are two freeware programs that I would recommend taking a look at to accomplish this task.
    Learning requires you to develop strategies for comprehending, retaining, and
    recalling information, when you need to use it.

  4. Reflexology has also been demonstrated to improve sense of balance in the
    elderly. ” The head massage is a one of a kind experience which many in Hillcrest
    have come to love. As anxiety and tension build up in the body, they have a cumulative effect causing damage to its functioning
    that can lead to illness.
