1 - stretch yourself: practice reading quicker and your brain will intuitively get more efficient at reading! 2 - play some music: preferably without lyrics and maybe classical (baroque, as it helps activate Alpha brain waves) so that it drowns out your internal voice. 3 - replace the habit: say random words to yourself, chew gum, or count (keeps pace as well) in order to manually override your brains nature to read back the words in your head. Keep practicing and your brain will get better naturally through consistent and conscious practice! #leadersarereaders
i doubled my reading speed within 2 hours after learning about this. im thankful for this. i never could finish books because i got tired or fell to sleep
Being a non-native speaker presents a challenge when it comes to all the language skills, reading in particular while competing with people who've spoken the language all their lives. Thanks again for the podcast!
Top tips to reading faster from Jim: 1. stretch yourself - read faster so brain does not look for distractions 2. play music (without lyrics) to enter Alpha state, possibly avoid subvocalizations 3. pattern interrupt - give mouth something else to do to avoid subvocalization, ie. hum, chew gum or count; 4. practice fixation - focus to see the whole word or even a couple of words togeather, as opposed to seeing letters. 5. take a class - learn to read, practice, exercise bonus from previous episodes: use visual pacer (finger or pen) to keep moving target for the eyes.
It is so hard not to speak it in my head. And I have a hard time using the counting method and retaining what I’m trying to read. Also I notice I hold my breath when I force myself not to speak the words in my head lol
I went straight for the 1,2,3 across a page technique and it feels strange like entering a new place in the mind. But this more than just speed reading, it’s applicable so many places in life. Thank you
@@tuni3226 when looking at a line of words you essentially say 1, 2 or 3 depending on where you are on the line. So if you are midway through the line you say 2 and when you're near the end say 3 in your head. I found it useful personally.
1-read faster than usual, strech yourself makes brain more efficient 2- Play music preferably without lyrics (baroquet) 3-replace the habit of speaking each word by doing stuff to keep your moth busy like chewing gum,biting nails(a no no method),humming 4- teach the things you read will help you retain stuff efficiently
I love these tips! I definitely vocalize the words in my head when I'm reading. I am going to work on changing this habit to help myself read better, fast, and smarter. I have so many books I want to read and would love to be able to read 1 book a week. Can't wait to start today.
Just jotting down the main points from the video 1. Conciously force yourself to read faster. 2. Distract yourself using humming, music, or counting numbers. 3. Take Jim's free couse to improve😂.
Like your content a lot. Very valuable. One tip for your. Don't say "Right?" after a statement. It comes across as unsure when your questioning it like that.
Dyslexia surviver here! I read fiction really fast, but when I have to read anything technical or with specific vocabulary, my reading time and comprehension crash from having to work harder to read the material. Any tips to help with this?
Disengage that negative thought pattern of thinking your comprehension is crashing and it's so hard. Focus instead on comprehending the material and don't worry about your speed, it makes perfect sense that technical information would take a bit longer to process and digest, and the only way to read that kind of thing faster is to start understanding it. Take your time, slow is fast.
Do you have recommendations or strategies for people who have dyslexia? I want to be able to read more, but it’s such a struggle. Thanks for all the content you’ve put out!
At first this seemed impossible, but the more I push myself the better I get. I picked a book that I don't mind destroying and began scanning each line start to finish while counting to 3. I moved fast enough where if I tried to pronounce a word in my head it got cut off as I moved on. I went from 26 lines a minute to around 40 but my comprehension isn't there yet but it is slowly catching up. Take your time and work on making sure your eye is hitting each word in the line and keep pushing forward. If your eye only caught 1-3 words on the last line, that's alright, keep trying. Eventually your brain will register the meaning of the words without you having to pronounce them in your head. You will lose comprehension. The point is to ditch comprehension then work at getting it back slowly at this new speed.
i am really in need of reading and retaining quick.But i'm unable to join this complete program online due to some reasons.I would really really really be thankful to you,if you have a book written on speed reading,so i can buy and read it.
I find it impossible to retain anything without subvocalization. Even if I do it fast I feel like I still have to do it. How do I stop sunvocalization even slow at first?
He did say that this practice will be distracting at first. But your brain will eventually adapt. Do everything within your mental power to focus on retaining the info, while *not* subvocalizing, and you will eventually learn it. It's uncomfortable at first, it's hard, a battle. But that's how you grow, by struggling. So many people never win, because they are not willing to deal with the uncomfortable struggle it takes to win. If you want to develop a "being comfortable with the uncomfortable" mindset, then I suggest taking an ice cold shower every day. Not only does have a huge amount of both mental and physical benefits, but it also helps you develop a winning mindset. Hope this helps ☺
Try this. Pick a book you don't care so much about, so the pressure is off. Go through the book faster than you can understand. Maybe 5 seconds a page. Don't even try to comprehend. Do ten pages or so, then take a moment to ask yourself if you remembered anything. Any random words stick in your memory? Any idea what was going on in the story? Ten more pages, then reflexion. Keep doing this. You'll get more of it over time, and if you back off the speed a bit, you'll lose the subvocalization. It takes more work than some guy selling shit on the interwebs lets on, but you'll get it.
@Omar Q I'm not sure this necessarily true. I watched the MindValley masterclass, not buying the course bc no money but I wanted to learn something, and they spoke about this in the FAQ. Apparently someone who had been taught to speed read says he now experiences the books in a different way, it's on a far deeper level, he can feel the sand under his feet, hear the waves and smell the gross caught fish scent. The imagination goes deeper bc you're able to flow through. What I worry about is that I want to get a lot faster, but I proofread so I can't JUST read and allow my brain to fix the mistakes naturally. I have to pick them out one by one and fix them. I think I can do it, but it's gonna be a rough ride. I haven't read for pleasure in a long time bc I love to read and I know I'd rather read a book than stare at a legal deposition. And I still can't stop myself from picking apart other writing now, I find mistakes or awkward wording by habit now. Don't become a proofreader unless you enjoy or can't help finding the mistakes. 😆
Reading is usually considered a better practice than listening. It helps you learn more. So no. (If you aren't able to read for some reason you can listen at 2X)
Thanks for the video. Leaders are readers! Our political leaders should hear that. (5:06) Baroque music has about 60 beats per minute!!??? ;) (6:18) A brain specialist can comment on whether chewing gum is good for our brain! lol.
Sir.i am a doctor and I need to read and also remember a lot of books..but I really can't find so much of time...and neither I focus completely...and also I have a habit of studying loudly...and thus slowly... Please let me know what exactly should I do
My problem is brain drift. As an example: I'm reading about the Boston tea party and its aftermath. So I'm reading about the British ships which leads to Pirates of the Caribbean which leads to Johnny Depp which leads to Alice in Wonderland which leads to White Rabbit etc. etc. Any suggestions?
I feel like I can read in this way for simple texts, but when it comes to dense novels or policy documents (I work for gov), I have to go real slow and breakdown everything in each sentence. So I guess this only applies to easily digestible reading material?
Hi Jim and others. I've just recently discovered you recently. I wonder if this works for university learning. I'm doing postgraduate studies on health soon with technical terms and principles. Thanks so much. :)
That was the first question that jumped at me when I first saw this. You just have to trust the process and go ahead. It won't be as big a problem as you may think.
So Do we have to go completely blank while reading, Like no inner voice at all ? I tried to do that, but seems very hard. I guess its all about practicing ~
Hii sir I have watched all your videoes and I followed U on Facebook also I am your huge fan sirbut I have a quart last time you have make tacnique remembering word is supper by remembering it by body parts but if there are 5 to 6 lists of words on different subjects how can we remember it because we have to search diffrent references
How do you determine how many words per minute you read? I guess you could count up all the words timing yourself, but that sounds like a lot of work. 😅
👋hi! You count the lines you've read in a minute or two. You count how many words 3 lines of what you read have and calculate the average of words per line. Multiple that number of words by the lines and divide by time. Normally it's 10 words per line.
Try to see the words as symbols of ideas. Do away with the need to vocalize them in your mind while reading. For e.g. you do not say "Question mark" when you see "?" symbol. You see it, you know what it means, you do not vocalize it internally, and you move on.
Jim, I have a question, what would it mean, when I'm reading instead of using my voice I use other people's voices or memories voices that can fit with the character that I'm reading in my book?; Does it mean I have something wrong?

bonus from previous episodes: use visual pacer (finger or pen) to keep moving target for the eyes.
Summary
1. Stretch yourself read faster
2. Listen to music without lyrics
3. Pattern interrupt- chew gum, hum, and etc
4. Count as you read
It is so hard not to speak it in my head. And I have a hard time using the counting method and retaining what I’m trying to read. Also I notice I hold my breath when I force myself not to speak the words in my head lol
The same thing is happening to me

Holding breath is something I noticed too 😅

You have mastered the skill of reading faster and that's why you speak more faster than others.
I like your take away message: You Are Faster And Smarter Than You Think. 🧠🏃♂️
I try mewing while reading to hit birds with one stone, limiting subvocalization and engaging the muscles around my face as an exercise.

Thank u KWIK leaders are readers!
Even when I am counting, my head still has the second voice reading the text. I can hear it clearly...
Get rid of it
Exactly. If you get rid of this plz share your idea..
I can hum, chew gum, listen to music, and count and I can still hear the words in my head--literally, not figuratively.

Also, if you find yourself pronouncing the words anyways then you are not reading fast enough. You should be reading faster than you can pronounce.
Do these tactics only work for reading nonfiction or self help books?
From now I would follow these things..use pointer,use flexation,do flow state exercise before reading and read faster
i am really in need of reading and retaining quick.But i'm unable to join this complete program online due to some reasons.I would really really really be thankful to you,if you have a book written on speed reading,so i can buy and read it.
Thank you this was very helpful and informative 👍👍
Thank you so much Jim!
I sometimes hear intentionally the voice of some actors or speakers in my head while reading. And i have to say it is not fast yet joyful!
What do you suggest if you are trying this method but don't seem to be retaining the info as well?

I can only do it sometimes 😅 I cant breath properly or hold my breath when trying, it's really silly 🙈😅
We found going down the centre of the page in a slow wavy line and I suppose you can count each line as it’s faster. Just a thought.
Would there be a benefit to speed listening to audio books over speed reading?
Reading is usually considered a better practice than listening. It helps you learn more. So no.
(If you aren't able to read for some reason you can listen at 2X)

Many thanks. Quite useful tips.
Great video! Informative. Thanks.
Very good Chanel spread the good motivation
This so helpful and useful for us thank you a lot
I hear a different voice in my mind for different characters every time I read fiction ( which I do quite a lot) is it normal?
U have vivid imagination
I do that too!
I experience the exact same thing.
Is it normal if at the beginning while reducing subvocalization I receive less information than before?
This is quite helpful
Thank you!
Thank you very much, u just help for life!
How long should it take to get an expert at this type of reading and comprehension?
How much time does it take to reduce sub vocalization?
Don't know
My problem is brain drift. As an example: I'm reading about the Boston tea party and its aftermath. So I'm reading about the British ships which leads to Pirates of the Caribbean which leads to Johnny Depp which leads to Alice in Wonderland which leads to White Rabbit etc. etc. Any suggestions?

thank you very much sir
Admiro a Jim Kwik, pero ¿a qué se refieren con el total potencial del cerebro?

Don't come under the pressure of becoming a topper try more focused and you'll reach the best
Video starts from 3:57
Thx!
What about white noise instead of music?
that helps me a lot!!! coffee shop background noise
What you. Eed to focus is write the books wants to complete this year and also use pointer
Okk so try to read faster and faster and use gum to stop your mouth and In your inside try to read 2-3, words per time and divide line into 3 parts
I don't use my mouth I read in salient in my head< and that's the hard part, how can you not speck in side YOUR HAED? pleas Jim answer me
Thank you

I tried to count and read ....and i couldn't comprehend a single line ...,,,😭 Am i doing something wrong ..
No just keep doing it , until your brain make a habit of intuitive reception . It's a muscle not a technique
I'm a fast reader. I am?
Jim, I have a question, what would it mean, when I'm reading instead of using my voice I use other people's voices or memories voices that can fit with the character that I'm reading in my book?; Does it mean I have something wrong?
If I had a choice, Id read everything in Morgan Freeman's voice. Maybe you just have a creative mind :)
How he is talking continuesly

Oh shit! Really?!
Brilliant
