I completely missed this field release when it came out. Looks fantastic, @DR_MANHATTAN !

I can totally imagine reading work documents faster and get stuff done quicker. The productivity will make you shine at work.

Anyone using this have any updates?

Purchased this yesterday at the beginning of the sale and Iā€™ve already had results.

Speed and comprehension has improved somewhat and I feel Iā€™m expending less energy to read. I notice my eyes are now focusing on groups of words at a time instead of just one.

Those are super fast results. Congrats!!

I was just noticing this past week that itā€™s taking a lot of energy to read and retain the info of some documents I had to read. This is great!

I just bought it :nerd_face:

@Matt1 - how many times did you listen?

Itā€™s been working on me for about 13 hours now with breaks for Brain Key. I donā€™t listen to the fields as such anymore, I use a broadcaster instead.

Hmm. Iā€™m debating between this Brain game and Your Energetic Being. :face_with_monocle:, do you mind sharing your insights on my final decision. I wanna get something this sale but just stuck between choices.

Iā€™ve been saying how much I love this field over and over

That is true, you have expressed this many times. Overlook my first question. I believe itā€™s a bit selfish and dismissive of me to not notice how much youā€™ve emphasized your likes and previous suggestions. So thank you for your contribution, itā€™s much appreciated!

I am picking up the vibes of dedication and running with them. Thanks for the influx of new momentum @Matt1 and @DR_MANHATTAN

I already read extremely fast since Iā€™m a child, but I wanted to get it out of curiosity. I was not really paying attention to the results, but last time I read the subtitles to my son, and I noticed I could do it at incredible speed, like flash, instant photographic reading. I think comprehension is also more fluent.

Nice share and results. Thank you!

You know how your Kindle will estimate how much longer itā€™ll take for you to finish your book based on your reading speed?

The last time I was reading, my current book was at 32% with an estimate of 10 hours and 12 minutes to go (Thanks Drops of Memory for that seemingly random but very precise memory!). Iā€™ve been working on this particular doorstopper book in 30-60 minute sessions for at least a week, probably ā€“ just to set the stage.

I bought Speed Reading on sale yesterday morning and have probably listened to it maybe 5-6 total hours since then with the usual boosters (Brain Key, Snapping Synapses, White Matter, etc). I wasnā€™t listening to this in isolation, as I also took advantage of the sale to snag Key to Babel and Drops of Memory, so there could be some interplay there, butā€¦

Today, in a single 30 minute reading session, I went to 43% of my book complete with a new estimate of 3 hours and 37 minutes to go.

Wow.

Iā€™ve always thought of myself as a fast reader ā€“ I was already reading substantially faster than people usually talk ā€“ but this seems crazy. Like itā€™s said ā€“ no matter how smart you (think you) already are, thereā€™s always room to improve!

Sensation wise, I didnā€™t necessarily feel like I was reading any faster than usual and comprehension was still high ā€“ possibly not higher than usual, but my usual level. I wouldnā€™t have noticed anything at all, possibly, if the Kindle hadnā€™t updated the estimated time to completion in such a stark, dramatic, shocking way. In retrospect though, I can tell I was absolutely flying through those pages. As with a lot of these new fields (especially the ones targeted at specific abilities), the results come on fast.

The Brainiac Grind has got me bemoaning the relative lack of ā€˜information densityā€™ in most things. Videos, for example, are the worst because youā€™re throttled by how fast the presenter can deliver the information and they spend so much time revisiting and rehashing the same concepts (either because their audience doesnā€™t understand or they donā€™t understandā€¦). With reading thoughā€¦ the biggest throttle is your own processing and comprehension speed. This field clearly obliterates even that bottleneck, giving you unfettered and unlimited access to the most information dense storage facility we ā€˜conventionallyā€™ have access to ā€“ books.

Too cool. Such a time to be alive with these kinds of tools available to us to break free of our own limitations and self-conceptions.

So my 2 Day Review: Totally worth it! Your inner Brainiac needs more information-calorie dense foods to help you bulk up with Manhattan Method, Conceptual Conglomerate and Wholistic Thinking ā€“ thisā€™ll clearly get you there!

@Zen
You got it ?

:ok_hand:

no, simply replying to the user above. Based on the user being able to ā€˜absorbā€™ more within a less of a time frame.

what it brings to mind is having the Ebook file of whatever book you are reading and grabbing a memory stick transferring that file and directly plugging it in your hard drive. This gives you the ability to copy and paste that in a shorter timeframe.

worry not, the gym is on pause for some time so itā€™s time for the brain gains. Starting with MM and WM, i suspect next month weā€™ll have a discount and Iā€™ll grab something perhaps this but i donā€™t do much reading if my desire to read changes (i suspect MM would cause some change but i donā€™t want to focus on that outcome or anyā€¦ in it for the ride) Iā€™ll consider and itā€™s a no brainer.

Can this help with visualization when reading? If not is there a good field for that?
