Joe Brock | The Fastest Reader in the World: Inside the Mind of Howard Berg @JoeBrock | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Join us in this fascinating interview with Howard Berg, the fastest reader in the world?! According to the 1990 Guinness World Record Book, Howard Berg holds the incredible title of the fastest reader, able to read an astonishing 80 pages per minute and a staggering 25,000 words per minute.
Here is what the 1990 Guinness World Record Book Says:
Reading Fast: 80 pages (25,000 words) per min is the supersonic “reading” speed claimed by Howard Stephen Berg (b 1949, Brooklyn, NY), who has convinced a number of TV hosts that he comprehends and remembers what he has scanned, perhaps not the details, but the concepts, with the details left for a later, slower reading. He teaches speed reading and gives lectures throughout N America on using the unused part of one’s brain.
There are a lot of questions I have. Is this real? Does Mr. Berg actually read every word? Is he reading word for word or is he skipping most words and just selecting certain words?
How does Mr. Berg maintain comprehension and retention while reading at such high speeds? How does one even achieve such lightning-fast reading speeds?
In this video, we dive deep into the mind of Howard Berg to unravel the mystery behind his extraordinary abilities. We explore whether this skill is attainable for anyone or if it requires a unique set of talents. Howard shares his insights, techniques, and tips on how he developed his rapid reading skills and how you can improve your reading speed and comprehension.
