I would like to devote this section of my book to methods, that helped me to learn speed reading at one time. Of course, I am aware of the fact that you would like to immediately begin training with exercises, but based on my own experience I can say that classes without a prepared base are only 40% effective.
Why?
The answer to this question lies in one fascinating story.
Once I had the opportunity to talk with a fitness coach, who was engaged in the method of development on a unique system. The system consisted in the fact, that before the start of training she told her charges about the structure of the body. Just imagine, that all your life you, without thinking, walked, sat, ran, having no idea what the skeleton consists of, how muscles work, how blood flows through the vessels. Realizing and mentally reproducing the inner workings of the body, many of the clients of my acquaintance admitted, that they began to reproduce movements with more meaningfulness, as if learning from the simplest skills anew – to take a step, to move a hand.
By the same analogy, I want to reveal to you the mechanics of your brain and consciousness, eliminate those stop signals, that our mind gives in the process of speed reading training. By understanding the system of perception better, you will go through the exercises from the third part of the book with a high efficiency ratio.
Carefully selected techniques, collected in chapters on the field of vision, concentration, attention, memory and ergonomics, will reveal new facets of consciousness. Most of the methods and tools, described below, may be familiar to you, however, some of them have substantially reworked.
You will be able to use the obtained results not only when learning speed reading, but also in everyday life – you will learn to perceive the flow of visual and auditory information in a different way, being at home, at work or on vacation. Thanks to the exercises, you will be able to better control your emotions, develop intuition and memory, and will be able to expand the analytical horizon of the brain.
You will never know, what you can do, if you don't try!
