| |
| *Note: This course is part of a 3 part series on accelerated learning, |
| covering speed reading, note taking/synthesis, and memory.* |
| |
| Okay. Another speed reading course. |
| |
| But why "The Hard Way?" |
| |
| Let me let you in on a little secret. |
| |
| None of the ideas in this course, or any other accelerated learning course, |
| are really new. At least not most of them. |
| |
| (And the other secret: WPM (words per minute) is a scam. Scroll down more |
| to learn what I mean) |
| |
| It turns out that most of these ideas existed thousands of years ago, and |
| were then lost by those cultures and rediscovered in the last couple |
| decades. |
| |
| Why is this important? |
| |
| Because the courses on speed reading out there today are directed towards a |
| mostly uninformed public that isn't aware of this history. |
| |
| And here's the truth: You will not learn that much faster if you do it the |
| "easy" way. And you also won't enjoy it as much. Part of the satisfaction |
| that comes from learning something new is wrestling with the new ideas and |
| making sense of something that used to be confusing. |
| |
| So what is new, or different, about this course? |
| |
| The essential difference is that it is based on a larger learning system |
| that ensures that there are no major learning "leaks" at any stage of your |
| learning process. |
| |
| That means that as you go from reading, to taking notes or synthesizing the |
| ideas in other ways, to then memorizing, you are not forgetting things, |
| skipping important steps, or wasting any time on re-doing something you |
| already did before. |
| |
| So what does that actually look like? |
| |
| With speed reading, the key problem is with how most people conceptualize |
| and measure it. |
| |
| It's like this...In your car, you have two big dials (usually) on your |
| dashboard. RPM, which is how fast the ENGINE is going, and second, MPH |
| (miles per hour) which is how fast YOU are actually going. |
| |
| You don't go faster by increasing your RPM (which you can hear because the |
| engine wirr starts going faster and faster, higher and higher pitch)...No, |
| you go faster by increasing your gear as you gain speed. |
| |
| When you are going 70 on the highway, you aren't red-lining your engine (I |
| hope) at 6 or 7,000 RMP...instead, you are at 2 or 3,000 and in your top |
| gear. |
| |
| How does this all link back to speed reading? |
| |
| WPM is easy to measure, that's why most people use it. But it only measures |
| what is being poured into your head, not what is sticking or making sense. |
| |
| Traditionally, to solve this problem, you would combine speed with |
| comprehension. |
| |
| The problem is that comprehension is a mythical beast. |
| |
| It doesn't actually exist. |
| |
| First, it's usually measured based on fiction as opposed to non-fiction, |
| which is most of what people speed-read. |
| |
| Second, it's highly dependant on your pre-existing knowledge of the |
| subject. |
| |
| Third, it's next to impossible to self test when you are reading something |
| in the real work. |
| |
| Fourth, It doesn't measure retention of that knowledge, or integration into |
| a larger body of knowledge. |
| |
| What you will learn in this course is that your whole way of |
| conceptualizing learning, in terms of WPM and number of books read needs |
| to be thrown out the window. |
| |
| The real aim of your learning needs to be the careful and deliberate |
| construction of new knowledge structures. |
| |
| The best way to think about it is like a house. |
| |
| First you put up the framework/framing, then you put in the rest, furnish |
| it, etc. |
| |
| If you have a shoddy foundation or framework, nothing else about the house |
| matters because it is not going to last and might collapse on you. |
| |
| The same is true with knowledge structures. If you are reading so fast you |
| can't put ideas together into a coherent and actionable framework, then it |
| doesn't really matter how fast you are going. |
| |
| Because it's not about your speed of reading. |
| |
| It's about your speed of thinking. |
| |
| Or more accurately, your speed of construction. |
| |
| The words on the page are just the raw materials. A good writer gives you |
| good materials and a good blueprint. |
| |
| But you still need to build those ideas into real concepts in your head. |
| |
| This course is about speeding up THAT process. |
| |
| Plus, I haven't even touched on the whole section about going behind the |
| scenes of how books are actually written, sold to publishers, negotiated, |
| edited, published, marketed to you, etc. |
| |
| I give you a behind the scenes look at how the whole industry works, and |
| then we zoom out and look at how the selling of not just books but all |
| information works and how you can use that understanding to pick only the |
| best and highest quality books to invest your time into. |
| |
| * * * |
| |
| I'll leave you with a story from the New York Times I read a few days ago. |
| It's about successful entrepreneurs using high speed track racing (with |
| cars) as a way to network. |
| |
| Some people think that racing cars is boring. It's just peddle to the |
| metal. But it's actually a lot more complicated than that. |
| |
| It's about finding the perfect groove that exists on the track. Sometimes |
| you are better off on the outside of the track. Other times, on the |
| inside. |
| |
| And your braking and acceleration and steering all have to be perfect to |
| stay in that groove as your circle the track. |
| |
| That's what speed reading is. |
| |
| It's not just about how fast you can go. |
| |
| It's about how well can you handle the twists and turns (conceptually) as |
| the author throws different ideas at you in different configurations and |
| combinations. |
| |
| Most courses teach speed reading as if it was an even NASCAR like track. |
| |
| But it's not. |
| |
| It's more like racing on city streets or a dirt track winding through a |
| forest. |
| |
| This is the next level of speed reading. |
| |
| If you are ready for it, I look forward to seeing you in the course. |
| |
| See you on the inside, |
| |
