Speed Reading Course [EPUB ebook] 

We all learn to read at school, after a fashion. But for most of us, this is not an optimal use of our brain power. In this course you will learn to better use the left brain’s focused attention combined with the right brain’s peripheral attention, in close harmony. Good communication between the brain hemispheres is a pre-requisite for creative thinking and also a sense of wellbeing, where thoughts and feelings are integrated. As you probably expect, this course will also teach you to read much faster and at the same time, to remember more of what you have read. These are obviously great advantages. There is another major benefit. Most of us, as we read, ‘speak’ the words in our heads. It is this subvocalisation that holds back fast reading and it is unnecessary. It is possible to have an inner speech, a kind of ‘thought awareness, ‘ that isn’t linked to the tongue, mouth and vocal chord muscles, and this is much faster and more fluent.
