This guy is awesome





I'm following their videos about book reviews and I think there are the books needed for all men to become the strongest version of themselves.

Good stuff. I picked up an audiobook of "Awaken the Giant Within" somewhere. I probably have a pdf of the book too. It is a good book.

I read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" around 2005. At the time, it got me all pumped up, but then I realized it was only a high level overview and Kiyosaki says you have to buy his other books to get the hard info. I also read John T. Reed's review of the book http://johntreed.com/Kiyosaki.html . I still have a copy on my shelf, but largely disregard it.

Has anyone taken a speed reading course? I've thought about it. Thanks to the wonders of Kindle, I acquire books faster than I'll ever be able to read them. I've tried some speed reading tips I found online, and of course those Tim Ferriss includes in 4 Hour Work Week. I never could break the subvocalization though. My reading speed is limited to that.

A few new ones for the 'to read' list

I found this method for speed reading pretty interesting: http://www.spreeder.com/
I've never properly tried speed reading myself though, I always thought I'd have trouble comprehending stuff if I'm not going at my regular speed.

I think I've seen Spreeder before. Does it help? I've tried a few times to learn speed reading, but always fall back to subvocalization.
