How to Read a Book a Day | Jordan Harry | TEDxBathUniversity

[@reaganlee4388]

1. reduce subvocalization A. press tip of tongue to the roof of the mouth B. Change your environment that is optimum (not too loud to distract and not too quiet to let mind wander) 2. reduce regression A. Improve concentration by being an active reader ( ask why before reading) B. Gliding - cover the lines that you read to remove your safety net 3. fixations A. split the page into 3 columns and use your peripheral vision B. Use a pacer 1. Front and back cover 2. Table of contents 3.Skim (10 sec ea pg) 4.Scan (30 sec ea pg) Use one technique at a time such as gliding, bouncing, and visual aids

+Jordan Harry How are you, sir? I am slow at reading. Subvocalisation is a big problem for me while reading. Do you suggest to apply bouncing, pacer, gliding at the same time or to apply any one of these three? About bouncing, do you suggest to look the middle word firs and then the side words or 1st word first and the the other words or all the words at the same time(if you suggest to look all the words at the same time, is it possible? if possible, how?). sir, if I try to read fast, i feel bad in my head.

Personally I like engaging with my books and treating it like a conversation. I write thoughts in the margins and underline key points and then write my own “personalized table of contents on a blank page in front of book. That way I can open it up years later and reread and see what I’ve taken action on. Plus some of the best parts of the book are in the places and sections you would least expect or be interested in!

Have you ever read “How to read a book: The classical guide to the intelligent reader” by Mortimer Adler? If not, I would suggest you read it. In summary, it explains the different types of reading, it’s implications/techniques and when to use each one of them (depending on the type of book and your goals on reading them) I say this because both yours and Jordan’s strategies for reading are mentioned in the book and serve different purposes, meaning there is no right or wrong way, but there is a right way for each book/reading goals/reader

I am SO happy that despite a small in-person crowd, this video has amassed over 1.2 million views! I've been intrigued by the notion of speed reading lately, because I want to read more fiction books; I consider myself to be a slow reader because I do tend to reread the same sentence over again. I love the advice of using something to cover the previous sentence you've just read - I used to use book marks and go underneath each line, but going the opposite way makes more sense. I can't to become a more efficient reader!

A great talk, and I appreciate the distinction between reading for enjoyment and reading for school/work.

[@jordanharry]

Very good point Jarrett. During the training, I deliver I always train memory first as it is no good reading fast if you do not comprehend the information. I hope within the 10-minutes of the video you gained value?

[@underlyingmotivations313]

Hello Jordan Harry, thank you for the presentation. I can see how speed reading may be beneficial in reading books designed for the laymen, but it seems to me that when I am attempting to digest an educational book, such as Feynman's six easy pieces or Critique Of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant, the strategy is not ineffective. For the latter the information is so condensed in each sentence that the only manner to interpret the meaning properly is to digest it slowly, sentence by sentence. What is your take on this? Is it really feasible to devour philosophic books with the lightening speed provided by speed reading?

[@ramilderogongun311]

Reading and listening create better comprehension. Use text to speech to save cost instead of buying audiobooks. Works only for ebook, physical book is harder to read :)

[@rishijaiswal1474]

The tip about reading the front and back cover and the table of contents is a very good idea. It gives you a context and makes it easier to comprehend the text that you are reading. However I feel that the speed of your reading depends a lot on the type of book. If it’s a subject you are already familiar with you will automatically read much faster. Don’t worry about your reading speed. Make sure you comprehend what you read and in some cases you might have to te read a book. Maybe speed reading can be useful if you are studying foe your exams but in general one shouldn’t obsess about how fast you read.

No matter what, let’s read with enjoyment. To comprehend what you read you need to feel, touch, imagine and recreate the story in your head. The story , the lessons and everything you read will retain and you’ll understand them more. Just enjoy it, you don’t need to read fast or finish a book immediately. It’s better to focus on one book per week/month. What’s important is that you understood what you read and got to enjoy while doing it.

1. Stop subvocalisation/reading aloud in head. Press tip of tongue to roof of mouth 2. Environment. Personable to yourself. Consistent. Music with no lyrics. 3. No regression. Good general q's in front of mind: how long will this take to read, what I'm looking for, key figures and words needed to find 4. Gliding. Put card over sentence just read, to stop yourselves going back. 5. Fixations. Pacer (each word) Vs bouncing (3 columns per page, using peripheral vision to read words either side of 3 dots). Pre-reading: A. Front and cover of book B. Table of contents C. Skim for key words D. Scan each page for 30 secs E. Start speed read Superb tips for 1 of the most useful life skills

[@laurentiuolivian1861]

Great speech Jordan. We all, i guess, are thinking we want to avoid the danger of loosing the substance for the love of speed. They both matter, at some point, and here is an example, a quote from Dostoyevsky: "Man isn't happy because he doesn't know he is." You don't think about how much time it took you to read, instead your brain concentrates at the meaning of those words. If you find a book that interests you, you will be able to read it very fast as you get absorbed by the plot. It's all about the perception of time and not the actual seconds on our wrist watch, about getting the information you want, it's about how curious you are, about identifying yourself with the character, that's what changes your reading speed; the more interested you are, the faster you read. I personally can read faster Asimov then Mann because the first one is very clear, and the second one very descriptive, and i don't want to invert speeds because otherwise i will loose the essence. Nonetheless i want to try the technique and increase the speed i can understand so i can increase the speed that i'm reading, and i can only do this by beeing more focused on the subject and trying to understand what the author is trying to tell.

I, personally, am a very slow reader and I am so excited to try this out. I usually use audiobooks, because my reading speed is too slow for my grade level since I have lived in many countries and not all of them gave the same importance to reading as the U.S. does. I am hoping this works, thank you Jordan! :)

[@jordanharry]

What I would recommend Pankhudi still keep listening to your audiobooks! 1. Put it on 1.5x faster or even 2x faster as this will get your brain use to taking information in at a faster rate. 2. Try and read the book your listening to at the same time as you will be using two senses (sight and hearing), which will improve your comprehension as you increase your reading speed. Hope that helps?

[@curtismcdonald6461]

Jordan 😃 Wow‼️ Excellent tutorial along with your personal story - both are great motivations that inspire one to engage your methodology. I actually use similar steps and your tutorial validates that the process works beautifully. I suspect most novice speed-readers give up after “skimming” level and they miss the golden opportunity to see how effectively all 3 steps (Skim, Scan, SpeedRead) work synergistically. I started this method in college and it took months of practice to engage these vital steps. This was due to the awkwardness of it ; it’s a new habit and not the normal way we learned in school. But persistence pays off. One additional note; if I am reading an Academic subject, I add 2 steps to your process, Jordan. 1 - annotation. 2 - index cards. I annotate a phrase or word in the margin of the page. Then I return to those annotations and copy them down on an index card. Now I’ve nailed that chapter and I own that information! Done! When I do that step, I nail down what I’m supposed to learn. It really works! You are correct Jordan - it is far more effective when it comes to the speed and the full comprehension you gain, if and only if the four steps are used. Well, done amigo! I wish you continued success in your future TEDTalks. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us!

[@reneeacosta2438]

I am SOOOooo grateful for Jordan taking the time to do this presentation....and for the awesome mum that invested into him... so that he can be of value to himself and the rest of the world. I've struggled with my reading speed for years. I am an avid book lover. I have way too many books that I am yearning to read, but because I feel like it takes me too long to read the whole book then I end up not reading any of them. Just the other day I picked one of my books up an did this.... only I read aloud. And the whole book had a different value just by reading the front/back cover from the author. It felt so good not to mental force my self to commit to the whole book right then an there just because I started reading it. -I never dreamed of giving myself the permission to do that with all my books... to get at least something from them instead of them being stored in boxes titled important books to read 🤣, used as props for my computer, or simply just paper guilt reminders everywhere of how I'm not following through with my desired commitment. -Thanks I now feel like I can start reading again and have fun in the process.

I read a book a week by searching the audio book on KZbin, putting it speed play to 2x or 1.5x and listenning while I read at the same speed. Works fine

[@pawanjakhadm5442]

I will also try

[@revmachine2662]

I study the same way I do all the scanning and skimming Then i teach the voice recorder on my phone or i read aloud to it When i have to revise after a few days, i play the recording and read along in my mind :) Warning, this takes a really large amount of your time. Helps u plan out how long it'll take to revise though :D

[@annmcneal7804]

I got straight A’s and teased out of a lot of my college classes- straight A’s in analytical reading and reasoning and speed reading in college. College history and education was much easier! Thanks for this video. I was also reading- and spelling and writing way before school age. .. before I was in “ head start” - and that was before kindergarten.

[@michaelhoward4152]

This was an outstanding Ted Talk, and Jordan Harry helped reinforce some things I knew and practiced, as well as teaching me something new, in the "Bounce Method." Like many others, I was jolted by how few attended this great presentation, though that was overshadowed by Jordan's warm demeanor and the joy he seemed to have in teaching and sharing his acquired skills. I know this video is about "How to Read a Book a Day," but I do want to add that I've learned using different colored pens and highlighters, as you scan the print, to note important facts, comments, names, and then going back later to read only what you marked can do a lot to help your retention and/or jump right to what's most important to you, in the book. The different colors help keep your brain active and engaged. As Jordan pleasantly reminded us, just make sure it's your book.

[@jordanharry]

Michael Howard thank you for sharing empathy with me and new learnings which I can take away! As always more than happy to have a conversation over on Instagram (@jordannharryy) or LinkedIn 🤓

Not only is the tips his giving a life changing one, this dude finds time to reply comments in a video where he doesn't get notified.. You inspired me a lot my dude keep up the good work ;) I hope I'll manage to read a 100 books this year.

[@BonBonShrimp]

@@jordanharry I was going to say the same. I usually don't like TED talks (most of them seem fake and dramatized), but I loved this one. Straight to the point and offered valuable information. I'm amazed how you could fit so much information in just 10 minutes. Btw I'm probably the worst reader in the world. I'm 42 and really need to improve my reading speed to do better in life. I will definitely try to follow your advice, but I was wondering how I can integrate this to my daily life. Is there a program that lays it out step by step? Thanks in advance.

[@9Hickson]

Many children need and will benefit from this valuable lesson. I will pass it on. God bless your mother and God bless you. Thank you

[@GarlicGrinder9]

When I was younger, I was able to read very fast and still comprehend the material. People were shocked. When asked how I did it, I explained exactly what goes through my head. Words to me lookedlike little landscapes. Try this sometime. Take a sentence and trace a line over the tops of the letters. what you get is a line with little bumps, ridges, mountains and valleys. This paints a picture in my mind. This picture helps me identify words and even whole sentences MUCH faster than speaking them silently in my head ever could. This is a skill I developed without any coaching, it just works. It doesn't seem to work for dry, complex, or academic writing, but I can knock out something like a harry potter book (or one in a subject im interested in) in around 12-24 hours depending on the length. (YES I've timed it)

[@joannabiebs]

oh my God, you just put in words how reading used to be for me when I was little too! thanks for sharing and reminding me, I'm trying to regain my love for books and this will surely help!

Great talk Jordan. It took you even less than 11 minutes to explain all important points of Speed reading. Good job. I suggest you can also tell us about what can be the best and appropriate eye to text distance for a regular sized font and how long do you read continuously without taking a break.

[@jordanharry]

Eye to text distance should be 20-25 inches, and using the pomodoro technique has helped myself and my students (25 minutes on and 5 minutes off) - hope that helps Astitva? Be sure to connect with me on LinkedIn and Instagram (@jordannharryy) to keep me updated!

Simpler effective method: Firsts Method. Read entire first chapter. Read first paragraph of each chapter thereafter, and then just the first line of each subsequent paragraph (this, by definition, will include most dialogue as those are indented). Read entire last chapter. 💥 Book in a day. Startlingly effective, give it a whirl. Thank you, Kenneth Ronco, for teaching this method. 📚

I have to say I judged this video after KZbin recommended it to me because I have watched Tai Lopez video on this topic. I thought “another guy trying to get Views” but I gave it a short because Tai is full of talk but no real action steps. I am glad I clicked on this. You got a great story bro and this is Way better than Tai Lopez Video 🤦🏾‍♂️ its more detailed, with action steps. You should design an online course. Thanks man!

I was putting Nietzsche into context throughout the entire lecture and couldn’t digest it

[@funkahontas]

Jordan Harry I don’t know man, the benefits of a slow, comprehensive read of a difficult book outweighs having read more books in less time, it’s all about consistency for me, for example I spent 2 hours a day for 2 weeks to finish the republic by Plato that’s 300 pages, but I enjoyed it way more (tried reading it with speed reading and barely could make out what was happening, it felt like I had never read it )

[@victoza9232]

John Pliskin You're probably joking, but the situation doesn't have to be like that at all. If you drive to work, or if you're walking around with an iPod or smartphone, listen to a book on CD. It's not "cheating" if you're not moving your eyes across a page. The whole point of reading is to get something out of the book whether written or audio.
