Speed Reading in Only One Hour - Understanding the Mechanics
The human mind is an extraordinarily force that we only use a very small portion of. In this book, “Speed Reading in only One Hour” I will demonstrate how to tap some of that unused power and use it for your own success in high school, college, and life.
Your brain can understand from 10,000 to 50,000 bits of data per minute; one bit equates to one word. Although this information comes from old statistics (1980’s),. based on recently developed speed reading technology, and strides in various types of learning technology, you can achieve phenomenal reading speeds.
The average high school graduate, when tested, reads about 250 words per minute. The college student reads at about 300 words per minute. But, no matter what your beginning reading speed, don’t worry, it is only the beginning. Imagine what an advantage you will have to be able to read over 100% faster than you had before; the possibilities are limitless.
Humans receive information through five physical senses, (touching, tasting, hearing, smelling, and seeing) and through those we make decisions. Actually, we make choices and judgments from factors that the physical senses bring into play. The five physical senses (sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch) are preprogrammed for automatic reaction.
We learn, not only from physical senses, but through various forms of thought. Most thought is conscious in nature. Senses, however, work automatically. An example of an automatic reaction might be: when a hungry teenager smells pizza, he or she begins salivating. What’s taking place is that the sense of smell (called olfactory senses) has automatically delivered a thought, “PIZZA”, to the brain and mind. The thought may be unconscious.
Sensing food is a physical sensation of your sense smell. It is a mental sensation (unconsciously or consciously) through thinking. And finally, there tends to be a physical sensation by eating, swallowing, and smiling. To summarize the PIZZA experience: Brain and mind is where the “action” is — and your body is where the “reaction” is.
Your brain and the mind has awesome untapped potential; I’ll teach you how to tap into that potential by using the course Speed Reading in One Hour, available at speedread.org . I’ll show you how you can be a total success in your college life and beyond.
