So maybe you are asking the wrong question? Ask yourself why you need to speed read. More than likely it is to absorb the salient points of a book as quickly (efficiently) as possible. Right? You want to get to the meat of the subject as you don’t have the time, nor the inclination for all that filler.

Parento’s law applies to everything including books. But instead of being an 80/20 imbalance it is probably more likely to be 95/5 or even 99/1, as books are basically padded out to get to what is deemed by the publishers as the right number of words to represent value.

Let’s face it if a 302 page book (my copy of Richards Kock’s The 80 20 Principle in this case) was distilled down to 15 pages (5% of 302) then you would probably hesitate to spend the current price of $12.82 on Amazon.com for a copy. It’s just our human nature to want more bang for our bucks.

So really the question could be, not "how do I learn to speed read?" but "how do I find a reliable way to extract that 5% or less?" Agreed?

There are several good techniques that will help you accomplish that and there are also sites where someone else has done all the hard work for you and distilled the essence of a books wisdom into a few pages.

One such site is Book Summaries | 100+ Good Book Summaries Organized by Category

If you still are seriously interested in actual speed reading however you can find the Cheat Sheet for Speed Reading For Dummies right here
