Why This System Works: “Programming” Your Eyes & Brain I’ve created this process myself – but I’ve read and studied many speed-reading, learning, and memory optimization strategies. I modeled and integrated them into my own process that I’ve been using for several years, with massive success. In fact, I regularly read two to ve books a week! I want to credit PhotoReading from Learning Strategies – Paul Scheele and Pete Bissonee for making what I think is one of the beer systems for whole brain learning. One portion of this process is modeled after what they teach…

I also want to acknowledge my mastermind group for pushing me to write this, and turn it into a book…because I’ve been THINKING about doing it for a year, and haven’t goen around to it until now! One more request: Please “suspend your disbelief”, and your judgment until we get to the end of this book--because one of three parts will seem a lile “woo-woo” at rst…but it’ll make complete sense later on.

6



Let’s begin with some statistics and how we retain information: • 20% of what we HEAR • 30% of what we SEE • 50% of what we HEAR and SEE • 70% of what we DISCUSS • 90% of what we CREATE or TEACH

Preparation and Opening Credits: The Disappearing Letters Trick

This part is very “whole brain”, but it really works. One trick that you should do BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE is, clear you mind and prepare yourself for rapid learning. We’re all faced with distractions: iPhones, Emails, Facebook, IM, the TV, etc. You need to have a un-cluered mind, or else this WILL NOT WORK to its’ full potential. Ready? Here’s an easy exercise that you can do right now to clear your mind of all distractions almost eortlessly... First, take 3 deep breaths.

8



Breathe in very slowly, then exhale. Next, imagine a blank movie screen, with the words B L A N K wrien on it. Can you see this in your “mind’s eye”? OK... Now... Close your eyes. Just trust me on this. Imagine with me a blank movie screen, with a black border and an o-white hue. The words BLANK are on the screen. See it? Great! Now, this part might be a lile hard to believe at rst, but bear with me. I promise this is totally worth it. Imagine each leer of the word BLANK disappearing, each leer at a time. This process should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute to do. Allow your mind to naturally get rid of the leers until all that you can see is a white screen. Got it? Good. Now take three more deep breaths. This is so key. Just do it. Trust me. So, no more leers, just one big blank movie screen. Your mind is now totally empty and free. Take three more deep breaths, and we can move on to the next step. Now that your mind is a blank canvas, and you have taken nine deep, relaxing breaths, you are ready to start your Mindset exercise.


9


Step One: Your Mindset

The main thing you need to focus on after you get your breathing and mind under control is this: Ask yourself: Q: Why are you reading this book? Q: What are the main concepts and changes you want to experience after reading it? Quick Tip: The next part you need to get your heart and mind

around is:

10



Q: Who in your life could most benet from the information in the book? One of your friends? Someone in your family? Look back at the How We Retain Information example above. See the part where it says that to retain 90% of what you read, you need to teach the material to someone else? Listen, it’s 100% true. You need to be able to teach the content of the book to someone else. We are ipping the usual “book reading” game on it’s ear, which is how you are able to get so much done so quickly!

Not only do you start to listen to your heart, but you put yourself into a “teaching” mode. This way you are able to retain 90% of what you’ll read almost automatically!


11


Ask yourself these 3 questions... Q: What exactly do I want to teach in this book if I knew and understood everything that was in it? Q: Which parts do I want to transfer to someone else to improve their life? Q: If I had to ask the author a series of questions about the strategies that I need to teach to my friends, what will they be?

So, to recap, go back and do the Movie Screen exercise, where you clear you head. Then position your mind as a Teacher of ultra-valuable material-Remember that you are reading the book so you can pass the information along to friends--as an instructor or teacher. Your whole goal and mindset is to be commied to being IN SERVICE to othersnot to yourself. You want to give them this information as a “gift” as a teacher, guide and mentor.

12



The House Party Another killer method for retaining knowledge is to read it with the mindset that you will interview the author after you nish reading the book. Do you believe this will ramp up your ability to harness more information, and share it with other people that maer to you and help them? You bet it will! In essence, you are puing a big ball of “good” pressure on your subconscious which says, “I have to read this book and squeeze out ALL the juice I can so I can teach!” This COMMITS you and gives you a massive WHY. See, the trick to retaining 90% of what you read will only be realized if you read it with the goal of passing the information on to others. Your retention skyrockets when you TEACH and PRACTICE what you learn.

Even if you never actually teach anyone this content, puing yourself in this mindset prepares you for it anyway. Technically, your brain can’t tell the dierence between real and imagined experiences - so this lile “trick” forces you to learn and retain dierently because your identity gets involved. You don’t want to look like a fool in front of your peers, do you? With that in mind, I want you to read the book with the goal that you will interview the writer for 20 minutes. This trains your brain to come up with some great questions that you either want answered or explained in greater detail. Again, imagine the people you want to share the information in the book with. Connect with them emotionally. Feel their pain. Visit FreeSpeedReadin gSecrets.com for a Free Video & More!

13


When you empathize with someone and present with compassion and understanding, it makes you more real, more authentic and emotionally involved. Think about a teacher, mentor or coach you may have had in the past who had a profound inuence and eect on you. Were they empathic, compassionate, emotionally involved with you and their content? I suspect so. Armed with this new mindset, you’re going to be remembering the main ideas and principles behind ANY book that you read, almost without eort. So, read the book as if you will interview the author afterwards. Plus, as an added incentive to get the information rapidly transferred in your head the rst time, picture yourself actually presenting the content from the book in 2 hours or less. Twenty people who desperately NEED the information will be knocking at your door. You are subconsciously forcing yourself to retain the information--why? Because you have to or those 20 people will leave your oce or home feeling even more miserable than before! You’ll be leing them down! They’re looking up to YOU to help them!

14



Step Two: Preparation Open up the book you’re going to read. If you don’t have a copy of the book yet, then head on over to Amazon and get into the content of the book to see if you’ll like it. On most of the books on Amazon. com, you’ll see the ability to open up the book and see the Front and Back covers, the Table of Contents, the Index and so on. Take a second to go through your book and get your mind ready so that when you do get the book, you’re prepared. You’ll see the preview of one of my favorite writer’s books, author Tim Ferris’ The 4 Hour Workweek.

I’m able to get a huge jump even if I cannot get the book right away.


15


The “Promise” Method Revealed There’s no excuse on why you can’t do this from home, from a smart-phone or iPad, where-ever you happen to be. Pick up the book and get a glimpse of the front cover. What is this book’s main message? What is the author’s PROMISE to you when you read the book? Next, ip to the back cover, and glance over the bullets and summary, as well as any testimonials that famous (or regular) readers have left. Then, move to the rst ap on the left. Read the beginning and ending aps on both covers of the book. Then skim through the Table of Contents and the Index. This is what I call The Promise Method. With the goal of teaching this info to that group that is coming to your house, you are now scanning the info in the book for all the Promises the book says it will reveal. So, start soaking in the main methods and terms in the Table of Contents, the Index in the back, the aps, and the front and back covers. Then, in the rst glance after you’ve done that, immediately write down in the front of the book any questions, key concepts or distinctions youth want to ask the author about during your 20 minute interview. Listen, it doesn’t maer how silly or weird, just write down the questions that come to you. These INTENTIONS program your mind and eyes so when you scan and read the book in a later step, the answers to your questions will seem to magically pop out of the pages and answer themselves. I mark up and write in my books so I never lose the notes. If you 16



don’t like the idea of this, books are cheap - order a “bookshelf” copy! But feel free to use notebook paper and paper clip your notes inside the book. For example, if the author says, “Eat protein 30 minutes after you wake up in the morning.” Say that’s in the Table of Contents. Write down, “Why is eating protein 30 minutes after waking a great idea? What about waiting 1 hour? Does that hurt your body?” That might be a question that comes up in your head during this exercise. Cool, huh? Now, on to one of the ULTRA-EFFECTIVE tricks I use to get the information into my head very quickly. This tip gives me perhaps DOUBLE the normal retention rate. I want you to get your breathing right, which is crucial for the Full Mind Reading we are going to do.


17


You need to breathe in and out, remembering that your goal is to be a SERVANT for the group that is coming over in 2 hours. Now, imagine yourself being able to possibly “drink” the information quickly into your mind, and do a cool Vulcan Mind Meld with the author. Is that weird? Yes. Does it work? It does for me. (if you aren’t familiar with the “Vulcan Mind Meld”, it’s a Star Trek reference. The character, Spock - who is a Vulcan can transfer any experience, emotion or knowledge to or from anyone by pressing his hands on their temples and face. Something similar happened in the movie “The Matrix” when Neo got information downloaded into his head instantly so he could operate any kind of assault weapon and learn every type of martial art.) Picture yourself being able to quickly and easily “drink” in the information inside the author’s mind while you breathe in and out, OK? Now, ip through the pages in the book, about 2 seconds for each page. Glance at objects, pictures, headlines, and bullets. Notice the information that is bolded, or highlighted. DO NOT THINK about what you are seeing though-just take it in at this point. That is all we want to do. Every two or three seconds, just calmly ip the pages over, soaking in the information. Make sure to “see” each side of the page (left and right), as a whole picture, not just pieces here and there.

I make a point of chanting “breathe in, breathe out, serve the ones I care about most” to myself while I do this step to keep my brain from geing bored or distracted. Find something that inspires you to complete this step. You’re programming your subconscious mind.

18



Step Three: The Mind Follows The next thing I do after I go through each page, while breathing naturally and connecting with the content, is I turn on the physical part of my brain. Huh? Well, let me explain.

Tony Robbins says that whatever your body does, your mind will follow. Tony is all about physiology. Movement. We are physical beings - and connecting intent, emotion and motion hyper accelerates the education and retention process. With that in mind, very, very rapidly, go through the book again, and highlight with a red or black pen and a pink or green (or whatever) color highlighter, the main ideas that stand out.


19


As you highlight the key ideas, I write down 3 things: • More Questions I want to ask the author (follow up from step one where you wrote these down in the front of the book) • Answers to those questions you believe to be true. (Try to get these from the book and your quick scans. Then write down the answers in the beginning blank pages of the book.) • Page numbers of where I found the information. It’s during this time that you’ll nd you’ll nd the answers to the questions you have will seem to pop out of nowhere.

This step is where I learn the most and the fastest - and after you’ve done this with three books you’ll learn that you’ll be able ton decrease the time it takes to consume books by 20%-50%.

20



Step Four: Timing Is Everything Handy Trick: Another cool tip is to start your writing process with an egg timer or something that clicks. This will help you to keep that teaching mindset and the fact that you have an obligation to othersand WHY you are reading this.

When I rst began these exercises, I got connected by timing myself with an egg timer for 20-30 minutes. I got through a 200 page book, with the egg timer, writing key thoughts, puing down the key questions, and possible answers to the questions I had when I rst started writing. Then, like I said above, I write down the page numbers for the questions I have and the answers that I nd. Now, what you need to do is Review the ORIGINAL questions you asked at the beginning of the book and respond to them. I write down page numbers because it’s important to be able to have a chest sheet if someone asks you something specic or you are actually interviewing the author and need to make a point. Specicity is proof.


21


Step Five: Summarize & Act Next, after you read through the book two times, the second time being the physical act of highlighting key concepts and distinctions, writing down questions, possible answers, and page numbers, then you will write (preferably on paper), a summary of what you feel the book is about. A few paragraphs, try three or four, will be ne for now. Second, imagine yourself preparing to interview the author in front of a live audience and TV camera in an hour. This is the part where your twenty-minute interview will come into play.

This is crucial to you being able to condently understand what the book is about. Don’t worry about geing ustered or overwhelmed the rst time-just go with the questions and ideas you have at this moment.

Pick two close friends, family members, etc, who could really use the 22



information in the book. Allow the questions and interview to center on what those two people need to hear. Remember, you’ll be the most authentic and real when you are preparing and presenting for a SPECIFIC audience, not a general one.

Final Thoughts... Here are the questions you should try to answer after reading the book: • What are the three top concepts the viewer will get out of this interview or review? What are the three top concepts you want your 2 friends to get out of the book? • Who is this book wrien for? Who can or will get the most out of puing the information into practice in their lives? • What is the MOST important fact your chosen audience needs to know that you learned in the book? • What 2-3 MYTHS about the subject maer has the author proven are not true about the topic?

See how using this easy 5 step blueprint, and YOUR questions, practically guarantees that you’ll not only be able to do a great interview with the real author, but that you can pass on this knowledge with up to 90% retention rate to all your friends? Mike Koenigs

24



The Mindset

1. Start with your intention: Why are you reading this book?

2. What rst drew you to the title?

3. What do you want to learn?


25


4. Position yourself as a TEACHER - teach the content from the book.

5. Ask yourself this: Because when you are IN SERVICE and PRACTICING what you read, your comprehension goes to 90% or greater. Are you serving others right now or it is it all about your wallet? Answer truthfully.

6. Answer the question – what would I want to teach in this book if I knew and understood everything that was in it?

7. Read the book as if you must interview the author afterwards.

8. Your goal is to share every major idea in the book in a 20 minute interview with the author after you nish this process.

26



The System: Preparation

1. Read the back cover of the book, plus the aps and any bullets or highlighted areas on the front or back covers. Read the blurbs and testimonials from the critics and famous faces if there are any.

2.

If it exists, read the Index next. Flip through it, looking for key terms and paerns in the book. See words that are repeating over and over again?

3. Write down all the questions from this exercise that you want to have answered by the author at the beginning of the book. (I use the front blank pages for this. That’s what they are for :)


27


Whole Brain Learning

1. Your goal is to get your subconscious and emotions working FOR YOU, not against you, which is how we usually “work” in the world.

2. Imagine being able to do a “Vulcan Mind Meld” with the author, where you can have a personal relationship with them. This personal connection will allow you to be able to transfer their knowledge into your mind.

28



3. Physiology: Breathe, review intentions, clear your mind. This is the part where you soak in images, words, highlighted phrases and bullet points. You will notice ideas are going to transfer into your mind. This is why we scan through the entire book once before we write anything down-soaking in images for later use.

4. You’ll begin by scanning the entire book for headlines, objects, and groups of words. Flip through one page every 1-2 seconds, full-mind reading, teaching your subconscious to bring in the content and see with your mind, not your eyes. Turn each page with every 1-2 breaths…

5. Open yourself up to the possibility that perhaps you can “drink” the information right into your brain…

6. Allow your breathing to be a metronome…See the WHOLE page (left and right), with your entire eld of vision. Use a stopwatch or egg timer for enhancing this eect.


29


The Mind Follows

Tony Robbins says that whatever your body does, your mind will follow. • Grab a highlighter with plenty of ink left in it and a pen (preferably blue) • Very rapidly, go through the book again, and highlight the main ideas that stand out to you. Alternate between your pen and the highlighter to really get the information into your subconscious. • The content you highlight or mark can be bullets, asides, key paragraphs, or bold phrases. As you highlight the key ideas, I would write down 3 things:

30



1. Questions you want to ask the author (follow up from step one where you wrote these down in the front of the novel). I’ve provided space here for basic starter ideas.

2. Answers to those questions that you think are right. Don’t rack your brain, just write down the rst thing that comes into your head. (Try to get these from the book and your quick scans. Then write down the answers in the beginning blank pages of the book. Jot down initial answers below.

3. Also, be sure to write down all the page numbers of where you found your answers to the information, so you can quickly go back and not get lost, which wastes precious time.


31


Timing Is Everything

• Begin by geing yourself an old-school egg timer from Amazon or your local Target or Walmart. I love this one because it’s retro and it gets the job done. You should use something with an audible click or tone so you feel pressured to get the information into your head in time for your interview and the crowd coming over. • Remember, this part is very important. So, please do not skip it. Giving yourself 2 hours to get through your book and get the questions and main ideas down will get you ready for your interview with the author. Plus, you’ll be positioned to help the 20 people who are coming over to your house. • Tick tock. This exercise, while bland, has HUGE potential and is very powerful for digesting the solutions of any book so they stick to your brain like glue. • Go through the book with the egg timer, and review your original questions at the beginning of the book. Next, write down your answers to them for the second time. Are they right? 32

33


Summarize & Act

So, you’ve gone through the book, once by skimming and ipping, next with the egg timer and a highlighter and pen. • The rst time was mental-focusing on key phrases and thoughts.

• The second time was physical-the use of the pen and highlighter allowed key methods to soak into your mind at a much faster rate than normal.

• You also exercised the physical and mental parts of your mind again by writing down questions and answers in the book. This was a key step.

34



• This third exercise will be to summarize the book the best you can. Write down what you think the core message is saying to you. What, is the central idea or main theme of the book?

• Next, imagine yourself again in front of the author, with a live audience. Picture what you will wear, how you will act, and what questions you will ask of the author in your twenty minute interview.

• Pick two people in your life who really need the information in your book. Structure your questions around those two people, and what info would most benet them.
