Doing the math, so if you take 1 min on average to read one page you are going to take 20.78 hours to complete 1247 pages. Your tittle stands true 😂😂😂😂😂

I appreciate that you did not start a long winding narration. It was short, crisp and clear. Thanks for this video.

Loving the Triforce method you shared, Salim! Removing that internal monologue is a game-changer, but my favourite is visual tracker tip, for sure! That one's gold.

This whole video was amazing, straight to the point, no bs, just perfect the way it is. It's probably the first video in weeks where i actually learned something, and it's even useful. Thank you!

Because of you I can finish long 500+ page books more quickly and finish it within 2 weeks while at the same time retaining the golden nuggets that I can use irl thanks for your incredible advice.

I recently did my mocks and it went terrible, I was failing, lazy, confused and addicted to games. I just found your videos and is helping me discipline myself to be able to study and focus. and so thank you for the videos truly, keep it up.!

As a grade 9 student, it genuinely helped a lot sir. Thank you.

my toxic trait is thinking i could do this

This video is indeed very helpful but there is something to learn from his personality as well he is a busy person yet so cheerful and happy literally enjoying his life and work at the same time, I can see he literally replied to every comment he could that shows what a warm person he is!

Needed this. The internal monologue one was right on the mark! Just started my graduate studies and there's so much to read.

The inner monologue thing was/is my biggest problem (still working on it). My issue is that I prefer to "hear" the words when reading novels or other books for entertainment, as I enjoy the imagery. However, it can be hard to switch that off when reading for learning. Just have to keep training myself on using one or the other on command!

Can verify this works. I was taught step one 2 years ago. It worked, knowing steps 2 and 3 can help me push further and train my brain efficiently. Thank you for figuring this out and sharing your wisdom 🙏

Quick, No-BS advice which actually make sense🔥

I think that this video is possibly one of the best educational video ever. Straight to the point, and concrete tips which are helpful for al walks of life. you don't see such video's often

You speak with a alot of confidence man. I love the whole vibe of the video. No bs no this and that straight to the point crisp and clear.

Great advice! Lately I've been searching for reading tips, all of them mentioned removing your inner monologue, however, none of them mentioned the reading strategy part, which I found to be essential. Thanks man!

We want more of this please. As a medical student this helped me

Med student from Taiwan here~ so glad I found your channel and this video~ your tips are so concise yet true! I’ll try them out, really need this as a medical student

Great work. Crucial information in just over five minutes. Thanks a lot brother.

Very useful video, quick and easy and straight to the point with lots of information that can be applied, keep up the hard work man!

One of the best videos I've seen on the entire platform. Gotta go apply these techniques right away! Thank you very much for sharing!

Many channels give you great advice but your triforce method is amazing! Thank you for helping me make a real change in results! You are brilliant and appreciated ❤

This was a concise and very helpful video! No fluff, just the info you promised. Thanks!

you're very underrated, this is the type of content that should be getting millions of views. keep up the good work

Thank you, I used to spend 3 days on one chapter and quickly forgot what I learnt, today I applied your strategy and finished one chapter in an hour and actually absorbed a lot more than I usually do. Your videos are not for click bait and ad revenue, you teach things that actually work

Three minutes into your video, I subscribed - brilliant tips and appreciated your concise explanation of the 3 essential components of speed reading. Looking forward to reading and learning more this year. Thank you!

First video I've ever watched of yours, and I gotta say, I love your sleek style of content. It's straight to the point and easily understandable.

Your content is so very useful and you still make time for periodic uploads despite being a med student.Keep up the good work.

I’m a foundation student in Health science and thank you so much for this quick video! ❤

It's such a blessing to have found this video. I'm such a regressive reader that sometimes when I'm reading something even if it's just a short paragraph it takes me more time than it is supposed to.

This was a golden video. I generally don't comment on videos but this was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot 🙏

I just got to a part in “The 4 Hour Work Week” where it pretty much said these tips. Defiantly helpful, Great Video!

by the way, if you read a lot of chinese or japanese literature, I recommend using a program to convert from classic orthography to the western left-to-right style because it's easier to track and using a font with thin strokes and as little stylisation as possible, especially if you are from Taiwan or another country that uses traditional characters with a lot of strokes. also, you can try reading white characters on a black or cerulean background instead of black-on-white; some people find it nicer on the eyes (i don't)

I appreciate how you took the time to act out the visual examples instead of taking a shortcut, and using ai or stock videos. It really helps you stand out.

Your method helps my students a lot, Salim. Thanks! Good luck to you! 🙌

What a surprise, Salim! 😊 Incredibly proud of your work ❤

Is no one going to comment on how absolutely shredded this man is?

Thanks for the tips! A visual tracker has significantly improved my speed reading.

OMG, thank you so much for this great video! I really need this since I'm writing my thesis and reading loads of papers and it was taking me too long to read one paper. One thing I would like to add, though, is that I like adding quick notes on the margin of the page for any information I find useful or interesting and my reflections and thoughts on what was written. It really helps to summarize the whole article in one go after reading the whole thing.

Brother, just saw your video. Feeling good and had a little bit of regret that why I not saw you earlier. Iam preparing for my medical exam, and you're methods helping genuinely. Thanks bro and keep making such videos.

Just read through Ephesians practicing your method. Worked wonders. I still need more practice especially with my internal monologue, but I am a believer!

This is incredible, golden tips !! No less than ted video..Lots of online spam people out there who simply sell their content in the name of this weakness but end up sharing nothing rather than promoting their course.

I can't stop myself from praising you. You are really in an extraordinary phase❤️

✍️noted “Learning is about changing your behaviour”

This is brilliant. I've been interested in speed reading for quite a while and this video summarises the most important things and focuses on putting them to practice. Brilliant!

These are actually insane tips, thanks man!

Hi Salim! Thank you for your video - super helpful and concise. May i ask what is the app that you use for taking notes about the chapters? P.S. found it in the description below, what a gem!! It’s perfect…

This is actually brilliant, thank you sir!

Good Video. Some of the tips I have heard off before and already implemented but others are new to me and overall this really got me thinking about ways to improve my reading and comprehension simultaneously. Grateful for this, thanks!

Thanks! This works for most books. Some books like fiction and philosophy need me to slow down my reading even though I can read 350 words/min normally with good comprehension. I should summarize and consolidate though, even though I do annotate.

Amazing content man - this is so useful!!

Thank you so much !!! I really needed this 🎉

This is the best video I came across on reading. The method mentioned over here is very convincing. I liked especially "the reading and applying rule". And it totally resonates with the reality. There is no meaning to read the non-fiction book, if we don't apply in daily life. Thank you so much for the beautiful insights.

An additional detail that you've mised: between reading and taking notes (it also applies to classes) pay attention to how much you can memorize and summarize. If chapter is long, try to break it up, because the chances of you memorizing everything are pretty slim, and you will have to re-read whole thing to make sure that you didn't forget important information (whole thing cuz you do not know what you forgot or what was important). I have learned it from Jordan B Peterson when he talked on taking notes and learning. Also try to push yourself; don't summarize every 2 pages. If it is hard, try to force yourself to read 4, and really think hard to make a summary. You have to train your short term memory. Thank you for your video!

As a CMA and Mcom student i was so much worried about theory papers bcuz from school time onwards ,i love problem papers and scored less in theory papers. It will take a lot of time for me to learn a paragraph. Thankyou sir for this video 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I watched this video at my CMA exam and also in mcom 1sem exam time. I cleared inter first group and 1sem as well. Keep going. lots of love from kerala❤

Love the content! Straight to the point, and concise. Keep it up, bro!

This video randomly popped up and after watching it, I’ve subscribed. Hi Salim, my name is Tanveer, thanks for sharing this wonderful advice! Hope to see more of your content! Your discipline with academics and physical fitness is commendable and inspiring 👏🏼🙌🏼

Great stuff, Salim, thanks for posting. How do you handle highly technical stuff like math and physics?

I needed this video to prepare for my upcoming exams, thank you so much❤

I've watched this 3 times already. Very helpful and well thought editing for your visuals

Question on the last advice, consolidation or "making it actionable". This might be more to self-help or skills-focused books (fitness, sport, art etc.), but reading academic papers, research, or other theory-focused school work it might be difficult to apply the relevant info. What do you think?

Amazing stuff, thank you Salim!

Thanks for these tips, Salim!

Short and to the point this is wonderful.

Thank you for sharing! Do you have any advice on how to stay focused? I find myself getting distracting sometimes when reading.

What do you recommend for books with lots of formulas and derivations? Like maths and physics books. Also the bottleneck might be understanding instead of reading speed for complex concepts.

Thanks it's helping alot. Not only reading speed is increased bt also retention of knowledge also increase❤

Your videos have been helping me so much! Thank you!

love that you are straightforward with these, thank you for useful pieces of advice!

I feel like this is quite easy when reading easy vocabulary, but reading academic papers or learning something new is really where I need this skill, but it comes very hard. Comprehension has to be balanced with speed. You can’t just let your eyes do the work and still remember most of it when all of the content is new for you. What is your advise on this?

This is gold. Thank you so much for sharing i wish i knew these tips years ago

Thanks for the tips! I'm such a slow reader and i barley read textbooks but now i am motivate to change.

Great advice, way better than the bigger channels, you deserve more subs ! Question : Does the 80/20 rule stand for informational books too ? Like your medical books, or a Google course module, for example

Nice, useful and concise video... Thanks Salim. Good luck with your RU-vid Journey

Thanks so much this is VERY helpful im trying to read this 400 page book I’m gonna put this to test. You’re so clever I can see why you will attract a lot of success good luck to you sir

Thank you so much. Please keep making videos. They are very helpful.

aint no way dude. This technique worked. Thank you bro, very useful video.

Dr.Salim thx a lot. Iam a Neet ug aspirant, Ur technique very useful for me to revise whole biology in a week❤

We appreciate your insights. Keep working hard.

With a lot of great books I have to read monthly, this video will help me increase my reading speed and learn more. Having a reading strategy is profound!

Hi Salim, I’m in my second semester of nursing school and I’m trying to figure out a faster way to read the books that no nursing student has time for (or admit that they do read). What was the website you said that you use? How long did you use it as a crutch for before you stopped using it to read the books on your own? Thank you for your help!

You sir have advanced to the next level. My whole life i sometimes used this technique without knowing that it has a name. For me it worked similar but a bit different: i was not reading/going through line for line of text, but rather stared at small to medium sized textblocks with wide open eyes. Like scanning . Then i see "keywords" or key sentences that shows me what it is about, and where relevant information is, and then i know if its worth the time or not. Spoiler alert: most of the text clutter is not. I think this method should be taught in shool from early age. Imagine humans in the future have far more knowledge because of this. Seriously this can create a new kind of sentient humans that will think differently from us because of that masive amount of knowledge. I mean, we could do ourselves a big favour already if we just wouldnt produce all this totally unneccesary text clutter. Just Info. Another idea: Imagine the Internet without advertising 😮. Focusing only on the usedul. It would be a complete game changer. Btw are you an eye doctor? Greetings from a fellow optician.

Bro that last one was a gem ima definitely use this. Thank you great tutorial.

I wasn't a believer of reading like this, but now I am. Your video convinced me that it was possible (the eye following something was the key point), and now I'm reading much more dinamically. Everything you said made sense and when put to practice, it works. Thank you!

Man is giving out all of the sauce 🔥

I appreciate that you give helpful tips in reading faster. I found that one where you use a tracker particularly interesting. However, have you considered any downsides to it? For some people/circumstances, it might be more beneficial in reading slower and ensuring that one deeply comprehends one book over reading as quickly as possible, using internal monologue as their own insight and aware of nuances that only appear in slow reading. Although you touched on this with the idea of 'summarise and consolidation,' the inherent idea of reading fast could hinder this comprehension. Your tips would be helpful to those who value reading more books and maximising productivity in a given time over being more meticulous and appreciating the process of reading, and looking out for your own insight and the nuances. Depends on what people's goals are, I suppose.

One of the only videos where the tips made me click in my head. One of the best learning channel out there no doubt. I Just subscribed can't miss other simple tips from you

Jeez, this was actually a concise actionable video, first video Ive seen from your channel. Subbed!

Excellent video and great advice! I'm going to try and use the methods and apply it. Really hope you get famous so more people can improve. Good luck.

This guy is a legend 🤝🏻

Pretty solid advice. Gonna try this out today. Thanks.

wowww this feels like a game changer. 😳feels illegal to know this ,, thankyou for sharing Salim🥰

I never thought of increasing the reading speed, but this video helped quite a lot... Thank You!

I feel like slow reading can be quite advantegous. Take time to connect stuff together, learn new concepts and create a space, where you can think beyond the text information. Otherwise i dont see, how fast reading benefits you in the longterm. Learning faster is logically based on reading faster, but for the texts i read, my comprehension is the greater challenge. Im not a med student, maybe this method fits better for this purpose

Sir, you elevated this to another level.. keep motivating us, loved this tri-force method. Fabulous.

thankyou Dr Salim! I was trying to get used to read books I still put on shelves, this helps me a ton!

I’m actually a very fast reader.I can finish a 300+ page book in 3 days.I don’t really have a technique to it, it’s just a natural gift.My mother loves reading so I think she gave me my speed and reading habit.Plus I still remember like 80% of all the books I’ve read.And I’ve read about 30😅.Anyways, you’re vid is really interesting. Even though in already a very fast reader you’re vids are just really high quality. Good luck with med school!!
