Quantum Reading
This is what Quantum Reading can do for you:
-
READ FASTER -we will show you how to read faster -
much faster
-
READ BETTER -by pass the 'padding' and go direct to
the substance of what you are reading
-
READ SMARTER -improve the way you use your eyes to
see the words
-
DEVELOP YOUR WHOLE MIND -integrate your conscious
thinking with your non-conscious thinking - developing the untapped
skills of intuition and insight
-
DEVELOP BRAIN SYNERGY -develop analytical and
critical learning skills using Tony Buzan's technique of Mind Mapping
-
THINK BRIGHTER -as your brain develops an
encyclopaedic capacity read and Mind MapTM a book in under an hour
-
BETTER ANALYSIS -through Synoptic Reading, research
and analyse six books at one time
If successful people read a book a week, what would it be like if you
could read a book a day and with improved comprehension?
Improving your
reading is not just about going faster; it is about changing your approach
to reading. You can, by changing the way you look at words, effectively
download the contents of a book into your non-conscious long-term memory,
at speeds of over a page a second. Quantum Reading will have you reading
at speeds of 20,000 to 30,000 words per minute.
How it works:Quantum Reading is a whole-brain approach to
reading using the latest knowledge of how the brain processes information.
It unites the logic of the left brain with the conceptual abilities of the
right and integrates the conscious and non-conscious minds to process
written information.
Is it different to Speed Reading? - YES! Speed
Reading is doing what you learnt at school but faster, possibly up to
1,000 words per minute. Quantum Reading gives a 20 to 30-fold improvement
over Speed Reading AND with improved comprehension. It makes what you read
more meaningful and personal, giving a richer, more valuable insight and
understanding.
More About Quantum Reading Quantum Reading is a technique
developed by Paul Hobbs of The Thinking Consultancy Ltd.
Quantum
Reading is about you being able to absorb written material, primarily from
books, at speeds of between 20,000 to 30,000 words per minute. It is in
effect like you being able to download the contents of a book into your
long term, non-conscious memory and then being able to use or recall the
information as and when wanted.
The actual process of Quantum Reading
does not set out to improve your conscious knowledge of what you have
'read'.
The awareness of what you have 'read' may come through changes
in your behaviour.
For example individuals who have Quantum Read books
on their particular hobby or sport have found their game improve without
consciously knowing what is in the book. If you just want the information
there for later. You will find that when you want to know it, you will
know it, but you may not know that you knew it! Or you may want to know
what is in the book you have just Quantum Read. We show you how to pull
out all the information you need to satisfy your purpose, but fast. We
expect students to be able to Quantum Read a normal sized book, understand
and mind map its contents, in well under an hour.
Quantum Reading is
not the same as 'normal' reading but faster. Nor is it about developing a
photographic or eidetic memory. It is a completely different approach to
absorbing written material. An analogy is comparing walking with running;
both have similar actions but running is faster. On the same scale,
Quantum Reading would be like driving a powerful sports car! We will show
you how to quickly reach your destination whilst driving the car to its
full potential.
Quantum Reading is purpose driven and primarily for
reading non-fiction. After all, what enjoyment is there in reading a novel
in 30 minutes?
Therefore Quantum Reading is ideal if:
-
you have to keep abreast of developments within your profession,
-
you are in full time education, a mature student, or studying through
'distance learning',
-
you are engaged in pure research, research for writing a book or for
finding out about a client's - business, product or market
-
you see Quantum Reading as part of your personal development.
Quantum Reading is often compared to 'fire-walking'. Once you have
firewalked there is an inner confidence in being able to say, "if I can
walk over hot coals what is there I cannot do?" With Quantum Reading we
give you renewed confidence as you revisit your relationship with reading
and paper management. For some the joy of reading is rediscovered, for
others it is knowing that they can get through the volume of reading they
have to, understanding everything needed to satisfy their purpose and
being able to do it within the time available. And just as individuals who
have firewalked, are not expected to firewalk every day, we do not expect
you to Quantum Read everything - but you can if you want to!
As stated,
the course is based on Quantum Reading however, there are supporting and
complementary techniques to enable you to manage other parts of your mind.
EXPECTATIONSIt is important to appreciate that Quantum
Reading is very different to 'traditional' reading. It is not the same as
reading at 20,000 + wpm in the 'normal' way, nor is it about developing an
eidetic or photographic memory of what has been seen. It is about,
effectively, 'down loading' the content of the written material into your
non-conscious mind and/or your behaviour. It should also be appreciated
that the course covers a whole range of reading skills and learning
techniques and is not just about reading at these exceptionally high
speeds.
