"My base reading speed started at 167 Words per Minute and reached 672 WPM."
Jon transformed from avoiding reading for decades to achieving a 4x speed increase—from 167 to 672 words per minute in just 21 days. Now free from lifelong reading struggles, they're excited to explore great literature and continue improving.
This was my first Quest with Mindvalley and I’m really impressed. Jim Kwik is a marvelous coach not only in Super Reading but also in Living Life Better. I had always struggled with reading due largely to the way I learned to read. As if the course were created especially for me, Jim identified my weaknesses, and taught me new techniques that both gave me speed, understanding and confidence like I have never known. The course is in fact structured for busy people, so anyone should be able to devote the 15-30 minutes per day required to listen to the lesson and do the practice reading. My base reading speed started at 167 Words per Minute and reached 672 WPM in the final speed drill on Day 21. I’m so accustomed to my daily regimen of reading practice, I intend to continue my quest for even greater speed and full comprehension by reviewing the entire course stating from the beginning tomorrow morning. I have spent decades avoiding recreational reading but I am finally free of that burden and I look forward to catching up on all the great literature that is waiting to supercharge my thoughts, my imagination and my life. Thank Mindvalley and Jim Kwik for this extraordinary gift.
