Well. This problem could be circumvented if you have the ability to harness your imagination & association to its full potential whilst speed reading. A plethora of tools that allows for aiding imagination as suggested by Dominic O'Brien can be done by inserting: (1) exaggeration, (2) colour, (3) humour, (4) movement, (5) sight, (6) sound, (7) smell, (8) taste, (9)touch and finally, (10) logic.

that's the problem... I want to be able to retain and fully understand the material

Is there anyway I can speed watch this video..it's almost 11 minutes

@The3nlightened0ne I totally agree with you :D but how much do you suggest to practice it before you can see the results?

"Nothingness of Jean Paul Sartre, that would surely kick my ass but I doubt anyone could do it."

Bullshit

I've speed read Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" in 2 days with absolute comprehension.

Trust me, you just need to be dedicated.

If you say speed reading is impossible.

Tell me, how often do you actually practice it.

You cant say it's impossible just by making foolish observations and comments.

@IgorMorais666

"What a bunch of bullshit and nonsense!"

Sounds like a losers mind-set toward mastering a skill.

You will never master any skill with that mindset, trust me.

If you want to achieve anything great in life, change your way of thinking about a skill.

Speed-reading is real. I have learned it myself through books and lectures.

It takes at least one hour of practice to achieve mastery.

My advice for idiots: Think Differently.

@Fullperson

Actually, once you learn to speed read, Comprehension usually increases. Guaranteed.

However, takes dogged determination to master reading speeds over 1200 wpm.

Most speed readers are at 800 wpm.

Good Luck on your speed reading journey.

Secret is not a religion. I practice it everyday and does wanders. If it was a religion i would not be doing it. I think religion is one of man biggest faults.

@IgorMorais666 Yes, you would only use speed reading if you had to read a whole book for an exam the next day.

[IgorMorais666]

@rb1003 If you mean really slowly reading I assure you that I understand everything I read and also retention is good, because when you slowly read you think about what you are reading. Now all this crap about speed reading is not scientific and people´s interest behind these courses are only making money.

I challenge any so called speed reader to fully read and understand Being and Nothingness of Jean Paul Sartre, that would surely kick my ass but I doubt anyone could do it.
