Improving speed without improving comprehension is not speed reading

Habits are routines or behaviors that are repeated so often and for so long that they become automatic

Any behavior can become a habit, and that includes poor reading.

A great way to adopt new habits is with practice drills. Drills involve repeating a routine over and over, not in conjunction with any other activity, until the body develops a rhythm and habit for it.

People falsely assume they can take what they read and automatically apply it. That’s wishful thinking

As noted in the introduction, reading isn’t about jumping into a book the moment you pick it up.

This happens because the mind is a goal seeking

This is why new opportunities begin appearing. Of course, those same opportunities existed prior to setting the goal, but since they were of no interest at the time, the mind paid them no attention.

Purpose improves mental function, increases concentration, and actually repairs the DNA
