"In 3 weeks I went from 80 wpm to 400 wpm and gained the feeling of being in control"

Before taking this course I was probably the slowest reader in the world (or at least a runner-up to that title). My starting speed was 80 wpm (which was the "fast" version) and reading a book was always a struggle. 

I felt very conflicted about it because I really loved reading books, but I didn't love the process of it. I always wanted to get the maximum comprehension out of what I was reading, which is why I figured I needed to read slow. And whenever I discovered myself losing focus and re-reading the lines, I somehow thought that I needed to read even slower. 
Jim made me realize it works exactly the opposite and that I was just sabotaging myself. It was a transformational process for me to go through this course, during which I restructured the way I read. It was a true lifesaver for me. 

Reading doesn't associate with struggle anymore, instead - with enjoyment and empowerment. 

In 3 weeks I went from 80 wpm to 400 wpm and gained the feeling of being in control. I learned that I wasn't born slow - I just ended up this way somewhere along the process. 

Sincerely Thank You, Jim, for giving me this valuable shift of mind!
