Useful Stuff About Traveling

I have a library at home or you can call it the reading room where all my books since little girl are. I was an avid reader since early age. I have juvenile complete collections and some I bought or were offered to me throughout my life.

But guess what, internet took away my reading pleasure, I mean I still love to read but, internet takes all my free time away and I end up not reading.

I confess that in the last three years (since I got more active online) I have not read a single book. I get lost among all those webinars, free reports, blueprints and textbooks. I find all the information I need online but I miss reading a good romance, a good thriller. I find books much more appealing than movies and I used to like to read the book and then watch the movie, but right now, I have no time.

I wish my kids will have the same pleasure in reading like I have but I think computers, television and video games are taking that away from them. How bother reading a book when all the information they seek is online? That’s our kid’s mentality nowadays.

What is your opinion?

The Be Dynamic Through Speed Reading method, by Dr. Jay Polmar, is designed for people that read large volumes of printed material. Sometimes they get frustrated when they can’t keep up with all the intriguing literature that is released. Authors around the world produce printed data and fiction, at a rate so phenomenal, that even the most avid of readers struggle to keep up. With our DYNAMIC SPEED READING method, you’ll easily be able to read twice to three times the amount you now read in the same time.

The human brain/mind is capable of comprehending and cataloguing from 10,000 to 50,000 units of information every minute (one unit being equal to one word) and this is based upon old statistics. Based on the new technologies in education and strides in self-development, your brain/mind is capable of much more.

The human body is a vehicle that records various senses and transfers them to the brain/mind. The brain/mind acts like a computer. Perhaps the brain/mind is the body’s operational computer to make easier for us to learn. We learn through information (data) which is transmitted in many ways. We receive data through our five physical senses, and our brain/mind makes decisions, choices and judgements from those factors.

Our limitations in reading were programmed during childhood when we were first taught to read. Yet, brain/mind researchers have shown that through DYNAMIC SPEED READING method, thousands have broken that pattern and increased speeds dramatically.

This course teaches techniques for becoming Dynamic. We expect you, minimally, to become a speed reader who loves to read and improve the quality of your life. Maximally, we expect great, positive successes from our students. A beginning average reading speed for the average American high school graduate is about 250 words per minute. Those from the south read somewhat slower because of their drawl. Those who stutter also read slower. An average college student reads approximately 300 w.p.m.

Please take note: Recent studies have indicated that the English reading rate has dropped due to poor education in the past decade. The reduction of reading speed is astounding averaging 35% poor reading rates in the US. Be Dynamic undoes the damage of poor education system and was developed by Dr. Jay Polmar, who studied in the US when education mean something special and reading was king.

Be Dynamic Through Speed Reading by Dr. Jay Polmar is now available on Amazon.com in printed and Kindle books and with the unique audio programming system that makes you the best student you can be.
