Well, I'm going to tell you the secret right here. If you're like me, I absolutely hate reading,

but I love learning more than I hate reading. So therefore, I force myself to read. So if you get a big book, a book like this, or even a small book, this book can take 20 or 30 hours to read. It's 500 pages. So how do you take that 20 or 30 hours and shorten the amount of time it takes you to read it? Well, I'm going to give you the secret. The secret is to get the audio version of the book,

listen to the audio version at two or three times the normal speed and follow along in your book. Now here's the thing. You might be saying, that's going to be too fast. I don't know if I'm going to hear all of it or I'm going to retain all of it. Well, number one, here's the thing you need to know. Humans can hear four times faster than they can read. So they process information by hearing it four times faster than they read it. So you can process and

hear all of the information. Now I'm not saying start off at three times the speed. You can start off at 1.5 or two times the speed and you can work your way up. That's what I do is I worked my way up to three times the speed. Now you might say, well, I'm going to retain, will I retain all the information? Here's the thing. You actually attain more information. And the reason why is because instead of using just one of your senses reading, which you're just reading with your eyes, you're actually bringing in two of your senses reading and listening at the same time. So you're seeing and hearing at the same time. If you want to go a little bit further of how you can actually retain more information, what they say is that if you read a book while listening to the audio and you pace and walk

around, the movement, because you're actually using another sense, you're feeling, the movement actually makes you retain more information. So you will retain more information by listening to it at a faster speed while following it along inside of the book. Now, that being said, you're not going to start off at three times the speed. You're not going to automatically go to it. It's going to take you time to go up there. Now, if you're saying this, I don't have money to buy the book and to buy it on audible.com as well. Well, I would recommend doing that, but if you don't have the money to do it, I'll tell you a little bit of a roundabout way to do

it. If you want to a couple different things, there's apps called overdrive. There's some other apps where you can actually download audiobooks from your local library for free. Another thing that you could do is you could then go to the library and get a physical copy for free. So you can read a free copy and you can also listen to the free audiobook. Now if for some reason you have a physical copy or your library has a physical copy and for some reason they don't have the audio book, another way of doing it is to go onto YouTube on your computer and type in books like Awaken the Giant Within audio book on YouTube. And for some reason, if you're listening through your mobile app or if you're listening through your iPad, it doesn't do this. But if you listen just on your computer, if you pull up your desktop, it has the option. If you click the little gear icon, it says normal speed, 1.25, 1.5, or two times the speed. You can actually speed up YouTube,

which is another hack. This is something that I use all the time. If I have a 10 minute video I'm watching on YouTube, I'll just speed it up to two times and shorten it up and save myself half the time because I watched a 10 minute video in five minutes. So you can actually retain this information better. So you can get the book and you can download it on audible.com. If you don't want to do that, you can get the book or rent it from your library and check overdrive or check all of the other apps. There's a few other apps I don't remember off the top of my head and see if they have the audio book so you can do it that way. Or the third option is to get the book, physical copy from Amazon, or you can go and actually get

it at your library and then check YouTube, put in something like Awaken the Giant Within audiobook and see if you can find it on YouTube. That is how you read books quicker. On average, I'm reading about an hour every single morning with this way of doing it and I'm finishing a book every three days. That's how you read three times faster and read a book every three days. So I hope that helps you. If this helped you in any sort of way, please share this with someone that you love.
