How to Read a Book in One Day | 10 Research-Backed Tips for Reading Faster & Boosting Productivity

You stated “eliminate choice as much as possible” about choosing between very many decisions over time. Then you said having “no choice” isn’t good if you are basically trapped thus causing depression. I was initially confused. What you meant was actively choose and stick to decisions made earlier in the day, and use ways to get excited about the choice you made (to read). Thanks for the video, this was useful.

I loved how you put together all the best tips for reading not just faster but in a way that boosts well-being. I've been listening to audio books for over a year now, and have discovered that not only do I read twice as much, the active listening has a way of focusing my reading of print/e-books. It was nice to hear about the study showing that the benefits of listening to audio books and reading are similar.

Another helpful video from you. Always thought provoking. I especially appreciate your sophistication, which is evident from every aspect of your videos (e.g., commentary, images, tone, references, colors). Thank you. You asked about additional techniques we use to enhance our reading experience. For me, I have somewhat of a peak joyful experience when I can make connections (i.e., Aha! experience, new insight or induction, recalled memory or experience) between what I am currently reading and key concepts from across the broad range of science disciplines that I read as part of my work. When I encounter such a connection, I will circle in red ink (i.e., my chosen highlighter) a keyword or phrase (so it jumps off the page) and then detail the connection in the page margins . . . sometimes continuing to blank pages in the back of the book. As well, I create a separate note that I file physically with similar insights. Additionally, I find and read most of the resources your mention . . . reading the preview text Amazon enables for most books, finding and reviewing the academic papers using Google Scholar or Search, reading Wikipedia entries for key people and concepts you mention, and so on. Isn't this the beauty of today's Internet, World Wide Web, and Google Search technology? Access to information is no longer that much of a challenge. What has moved to center stage for us is (a) determining the veracity of sources and their content, and (b) assimilating new information into our knowledge, decisions, and behavior are (i.e., continuous unlearning and relearning). Thanks again and best wishes with building your channel.

I'm going to implement the center of the sentence trick! I also think I'm not going to give up on audiobooks but instead try to find a balance because they both have a place for me:)

Great tips, I knew most of them but the reasoning you shared was very insightful

I love this! Very practical tips, and much of this can be applied to other tasks beyond reading. I always try to eliminate as much choice as I can throughout the day—I plan my meals, outfits, etc. in advance to avoid decision fatigue. Great video.

Thank you so much, you are blessed❤ I love how all of this is applicable for not only reading but writing and exercise as well.

Such useful tips. I like it very much. Thank you.

Thanks! Eden :)
