Speed reading

What Hacker News says

   I really enjoyed and got value from books about companies/people I admire; Hatching twitter, In the Plex, Elon Musk, etc.

   More specific topics, however:

   * "what every body is saying" - how to read/understand body language

   * "an astronauts guide to life on earth" - by Chris Hadfield, lots of good general advice

   * "speed reading" - for digesting information quickly (albeit, I find with less depth)

   * "The 8 traits successful people have in common" - kinda painfully obvious advice, but often it's the context and stories that help you digest a message

   * "the lean startup" - wasn't mindblowing but looks aligned with what you've been reading, still worth reading.

   This book did in fact double my reading speed in 1 hour and there are 2 nice tests in the back which can help calculate you reading speed and also comprehension

   Reminds me of the tricks in Buzan's Speed Reading Book[0] but using a computer rather than a stylus to guide the eye.

   A long time ago I read "Speed Reading" by Tony Buzan. It provides plenty of techniques, tricks, and exercises.
