The fact that nobody talks about the forbidden book Making Money Your Reality speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance

“What habits are holding you back” Me: pausing to search up every word I don’t know

Thank you Mbappe ! That was helpful.

"Time is precious so waste it wisely"

He deserved a bigger audience!

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

I watch this video twice so I can read two books a day.

"To teach is to learn twice" Wowww beautifully said. Nice lecture.

I like how humble and wise he is, such a gem of a person.

half empty room...while having among the MOST PRECIOUS PIECE OF ADVICE ON THE INTERNET, thank you sir, that was amazing !!!!!

I really like this and his passion and the reasons for his speech. So sad they were so few people in the audience everybody thumbs up if you think he should speak to a bigger audience

So you are telling me Mbappé is not only a fast runner but also a fast reader?? This man is so talented!

I went to primary school with Jordan, my mum was his teacher in year 6 :), fun fact he was at one point a national level long/triple jumper! I doubt he'll read this, or remember who I am, but behind Chrissie Wellington, you're the 2nd most famous person from Feltwell without doubt! So proud of you Jordan, from Charlie Wakefield

i feel bad that he had such a good talk yet so few people laughed at his jokes and there weren’t many people there

My greatest concern is comprehension.

this guy made me Read more

awesome guy and amazing speech :)

I agree! He deserved a much bigger audience, both at the venue and online. Thank you so much Jordan Harry.

The guy and his personal story alone are of great inspiration. Great talk!

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!

You wanna learn how to speed read?, watch animes with subtitles.

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. Hope has been restored, and guilt has been extinguished.🙏📚🏆

His mum must be so proud of him. Fantastic talk!

brilliant video, this UKposts algorithm is doing wonders for me recently!

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!

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.

A great talk, and I appreciate the distinction between reading for enjoyment and reading for school/work. I read for enjoyment a lot, and I only use skimming and scanning if the book isn't that interesting to me and I legitimately just want to get through it. But these techniques are incredibly useful if I have to read a longer text for study purposes. Thank you Jordan!

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.

how to read a book a day: become wealthy, quit job, read all day

Hats off to this impressive individual and his particularly impressive Mum. Especially so since he still has a trace of the speech impediment but she, and he, not only overcame it but boosted him up enough to speak in a public forum. Lessons for all of us.

Well, I wish I would live in the U.S.A so I could have a nice talk with him and thank him for this TED Talk. This really improved my reading and overall approach on a book on a completely stressfree level. I did not feel like watching someone super overachieving and trying to sprint after him/her, this felt more like a friend giving me some nice tips. Thank you very much, I wish you and your mother all the best!

Great talk! I will definitely try this out. Have a lot of goodies on my bookshelf I need to get through. Thank you 🙌🏾

Wow i really needed this.. I loved the closing line.. 'time is precious so waste it wisely'

You explain things very well as if you had a flashlight into how our minds work and you're explaining accordingly and effectively.

Wow, zero BS, straight to the point, golden pointers. Thank you!

Jordan, your courtesy to people in the comments is so refreshing; I believe this teaching and learning skill is only the beginning of many great achievements you shall find in your life. You’ve encouraged me to get some more of my library read starting today! Congratulations to your mother, what a special woman.

He's a very handsome and articulate speaker. I'm so glad that I've started on speed reading before I discovered this video. It's always good to learn from someone who's experience and successful at their craft. He gave us valuable information to apply to our life and our mind.

Thank you for this wonderful video. Inspirational. I'm reading a book a day in lockdown and I love it

Summary: -pick small books, preferably with a lot of pictures

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.

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.

He's actually a really great speaker.I'm glad that this video has gotten the attention that it deserves

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!

I've seen a couple of videos about speed reading and this video stand out, ironically from a student rather than an experience world champion or mentor. Good job mate.

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! :)

Your mother must be so proud of you, Jordan. What a blessed family!

The lesson made a lot sense to me. My challenge, our challenges is consistency.

Time is precious The most underrated statement I'm 18 and I still remember my childhood like yesterday, tomorrow I'll be something else Make today count Read a book and Learn a skill be productive Good luck for you and myself

Great advice, inspiring to see someone who once had an impediment speak in front of others for a sustained period 👍🏾

What a fantastic guy. Such a good clear and very helpful speech with actual good advice. He realy deserved a much much bigger audience. I love the time is precious waste it wisely bit haha.

Thank you. These tips are absolutely helpful. I want to read more and I find myself taking a long period to finish a book. Decided to find a way to help me and this is helpful. Now, I’m putting this techniques in action. 👌🏼

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

Amazing TED talk. Very surprised his audience was so small! How much can we achieve if we learn to read faster and more effectively? One of the most essential skills there is

What a lovely lad. I bet his Mum is so proud of him.

What an incredible and straightforward presentation

There were 30 people in the room, but 1,2 million were listening 🙏🏽

Really enjoyed the information you discussed in this video. Such a good point you made at 1:25-1:45. Thank you Mr. Harry!!!

Was watching ted talks from years.... For me, this was the Most Fruitful ted x talk EVER!!!!!... U did amazingly well in explaining this to us... Thank you for sharing this knowledge....!!!!

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.

That was an excellent presentation and I'm preparing to go to the library to practice implementing these strategies.

Really enjoyed this. I have practiced some of these techniques and I do expect I read faster than average. Time to step it up with these fresh insights and additions. BTW, thank your mom for us.

I wonder in real time only 15-20 people can listen to this amazing speech,but thanks to the technology millions can get benifited ..

Thank you for sharing your knowledge... blessings

Wow! I have watched lots of youtube videos on speed reading and this was one of the best. Very well explained and presented.

I love this so much! This really helped me read a lot faster, and as someone who loves reading, this was a blessing :) Thank you so much for this, you are way too underappreciated :)

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

Me encanta, porque su plática no habla sólo de pasar los ojos por las hojas rápido, sino de entender y visualizar la información más rápido y de forma más efectiva. Es decir, habla de mejorar o eficienciar el proceso natural de la lectura en su relación directa con el entendimiento.

Great talk, watch this at 1,5 speed (at least) and find out what speeding up UKposts can bring you along with speed reading.

Wow what a good speaker, I wish this guy would teach me how to get rid of stage-fright.

Dang, i feel like i just went through Jim Kwik’s amazing speed reading course in 10 minutes. Phrases were basically exact. Awesome video.

Thank you so much for your good will Mr.Harry.

Thank you so much for talk Jordan. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

I love this speech!

Thanks for the time and effort you spent in making this video.

Excellent. I am a physician who helps all ages with their focus, attention, learning. I use these techniques, those that do will thrive!

In a world where useless content is spreading, this video broke that rule, that's one of the few times that the UKposts recommendations gave me valuable content, I won't say valuable I would say life changing, thank you my man for this valuable technic .

Thank you so much. This really inspires and motivated me and I want to be able to speed read so I'm going to try better so thank you I will never give up

Spoke in half a room but reached Millions. Thank you for this.

Awesome talk, excited to actually implement all that in my reading habits.

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.

Great video. Worth noting that digital books can help. With Kindle readers they have a reading rulers/guide that can be useful. I find that changing the background colour of the page and changing the font size helps me too.

Thank you, this well said! I’m on my way to reading a book a day now!

So so helpful! I will try to implement this!

anyone else who envisions whatever they’re reading in their head like it’s a scene from a movie??

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)

very actionable advice to read faster. And Jordan and his mum are inspiring. Thanks Jordan! Keep it up.

I have been bad at reading for a long time and this video honestly changed my life
