The average person reads at a rate of about 225 words-per-minute (wpm). Jim Kwik, on the other hand, can read at rate of 1,300 wpm… Plus, he remembers and retains everything he reads. Now that’s speed reading.
Here’s the thing, though, Jim Kwik wasn’t always so kwik. In fact, he suffered a head trauma when he was 5 years old that slowed down his ability to learn (or so he thought). He fell far behind in school due to this, and struggled to keep up with the others kids. His seemingly incessant slow learning was almost the cause of his undoing.
It wasn’t until he was in college that he decided to give his learning difficulty a bit more attention. So, he thought a lot about learning — these thoughts then led him to delve into the concept of meta-learning, or learning how to learn (something we are strangely not taught how to do in school). He then decided to focus his attention on simply learning how to learn— on how to make learning his superpower!
Now, his impressive intelligence is known worldwide. As well, he has set up many Schools for Superheroes, which specialize in helping people attain their natural-born superpowers (without needing to be bit by a spider). One of these superpowers, is speed reading.
Jim emphasizes the importance of speed reading by explaining that:
“The average person reads 200-250 words-per-minute and spends 3 to 4 hours of their work day reading. That’s more than one-third of their time on the job. If that person makes $60,000 a year, then at least $20,000 of that money is paying for them to read. But proper training can easily double the average person’s reading speed (up to 400-450 w.P.M.). That cuts 3 to 4 hours down to 1 to 2. That’s a savings of over an hour a day. If you do that for 365 days a year, that’s 9 different 40 hour work weeks saved. That’s real time productivity. Imagine what you could do with all that extra time.”- Jim Kwik

I always loved reading
Wow, he is amazing. I feel that I have been stuck in a rut for a long time. Listening to him has motivated me and answered some of my questions. Thank you for this.
Thank you. This is powerful in so many ways. Thank you
To answer Jim’s question about if our teachers have ever put us in circles and have us read, solve a math problem and all that Yada Yada Yada, yeah I think that might’ve happened before. I made a comeback back in elementary school when I was in 3rd grade. It was when I “failed” a math test and when I redid it I recall scoring a 95 the second time
Its nice
Is that fair? 😀
im in my room clapping like im in the audience lol
Been watching the whole video. He does'nt even mention one answer? Even if i watch all videos, no answer. What a waste of time.. Give us something to totally be convince. Hope you got it Mr. Brain guy!
Have I ever finished a book and had no idea what it was about? Only a few times but not too recently
Coach Jim can attend your lesson,my record what I have listed in my book but did sent for reason happen in my country if need I sent to you,until I use data no internet
Why? Why more and more and even…more speed? To be able to speak faster? So less amount of people understand us? To get a heart attack earlier? Why try to put up with pressure society, bosses or we put upon ourselves?

I watched the video and at the end I forgot what I just watched
Its a lot … i think i wanna but won’t learn… I think you are amazing person but learning and school is not for everyone ?

You want to learn faster? Simple… Watch every youtube video at 2x speed. ?

This guy is super intelligent,l am so sorry that a teacher told you.youre brain was broken.
It instilled the wrong message in the mind of a dear little boy of 9 years old.
I believe not everyone is suitable to teach children.a majority shouldn't.
Thank God Jim believed in himself,an inspiration to human kind
I have enjoyed your lectures.l have finished my book now.
Thank you Jim

Jim is such an amazing and clearly forward speaker. I will definitely read more.
Same problem
GOLD right here 18:25
So what about subvocalization when it comes to learn a foreign language. I practice reading beginner level Japanese books and pronounce the words in my head.
I found that I read more when when I read out loud, if i don't do that i fall asleep. my question is can i improve my reading speed even though I read out loud?
Thank you!
