Course Description

In this short 30 minute course, I'll show you 5 specific things you can do right now to read more books than you ever have before.

Because reading isn't just a nicety -- it's a must if you want to live your dreams. Yet everything we're taught in school holds us back from actually learning.

And that's why I created this course.

When I took over a failing business a few years ago, I had no mentors, no boss and no one to help me. My education from a "top 10 school" was no help either.

That's when I discovered the power of books. Every question I had, there was a book with an answer. And the better I got at reading, the more frustrated I got that we're never taught how to read the right way in school.

And that's why I decided to put together my course Become A Learning Machine: How To Read 300 Books This Year.

My goal is to share this message with as many people as possible. And that's why I've taken 5 of my favorite tips from that course and put them together for you here to go through in the next 30 minutes before you invest in the full course.

Here's what you'll learn inside:

  1. Why how we're taught to learn in school is the BIGGEST obstacle to reading a lot of books [Lecture 2]

  2. A simple mindset shift that will help you get through more books than ever before...and actually USE what you learn [Lecture 3]

  3. The obvious yet forgotten thing you NEED to do to read more books this year [Lecture 4]

  4. What you have to do as soon as you open the book to get through it quickly [Lecture 5]

  5. A simple trick that can INSTANTLY make you a faster reader [Lecture 6]

  6. Why you need to divide your reading into two separate categories to read as many books as you can [Lecture 7]

  7. Eight life-changing books you have to read [Lecture 8]

I'll see you inside.

I'm On A Quest To Give You The Education You'll Never Get In School.

The things that the world's highest achievers spent their entire lives discovering, that no professor or teacher will ever tell you.

Because when I was in college, I was mad. I’d just read a book and everything inside was the opposite of what I was learning in all my classes.

So I ran into the dean’s office and said "I'm literally learning more from the books I get on Amazon for five bucks than these classes that cost thousands of dollars each!"

And all she had to tell me is...they're working on it!

So when I walked out that day, I swore I’d teach myself the things I should have learned in school. And I started reading LOTS of books….now over a thousand on everything from meditation to making money. And I realized ONE BIG THING…

Everyone who’s excelled in any area of life knew things we’re never taught in school.

They were Insiders.

They discovered the truth about finding their purpose and creating a perfect vision to work towards. Or about motivation and productivity, financial freedom, having authentic relationships, changing the world, persuading people, learning incredibly quickly or celebrating their hundredth birthday still in perfect health.

Not only did this course give me helpful tools to read faster and read more, but it pointed out some vital things that I had not thought of before even in the research I did on reading. Unlike other courses, it talks about when you should listen to audiobooks versus when you should read a book, it discusses the importance of regular routine, and it gives great, clear instruction and motivation on how to start reading again. I really enjoyed this course.

By Ibukun Ibitoye on 7/31/2020

I picked this course hoping to get through my dilemma of wanting to consume more books without knowing how to go about it, and I'm so glad I did because the tips I've learned have given me so much more clarity on how to go about it. I'm already curating a list of books I've always wanted to read and after knowing these techniques, I'm so excited to get started. Thank you!

The course did not offer any new value. It was a marketing to purchase another course about becoming a learning machine to become a better reading. Only thing this course mentioned was to have a reading ritual, preview the book before you read, and slow down to read the important section. All of these things which generally people know and could find this info on other places at no cost. Overall, I would not recommend this course. Save your money.

I feel the same. Schools unfortunately stress children and young people with having to memorize facts. But after finishing education they need to then learn life skills why not teach life skills?! So then we can achieve what we want without stress without procrastination fear .... ect. Really good course and really looking forward on reading the books.

WELL EDUCATED INSTRUCTOR, ENGAGED AND PERFECT ORGANIZED STRUCTURE OF THE COURSE. PERHAPS A PPT FILE INCLUDED THE KEY POINTS OF THE COURSE, IT WOULD MAKE THIS COURSE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! THIS COURSE OFFERS CONCISE BUT IN-DEPTH EXPLANATIONS, WITHOUT MAKING YOU FEELING BORED AT ALL. ANOTHER AMAZING POINT OF THIS COURSE IS THAT SOME OF THE MENTIONED TACTICS ANALYZED IN A PERFECT WAY BY THE INSTRUCTOR, USUALLY ARE USED AND APPLIED SPONTANEOUSLY AND WITHOUT REALIZING BY PEOPLE WHO READ A LOT OF SCIENTIFIC OR GENERAL KNOWLEDGE BOOKS. AND THAT'S, OF COURSE, ANOTHER PROOF OF HOW WELL EDUCATED, ORGANIZED AND EXPERT THE INSTRUCTOR IS. ADDITIONALLY, ALL MENTIONED TACTICS AND READING METHODS ARE HELPFULL FOR THE "TEAM" OF EXPERIENCED READERS MENTIONED BEFORE, BUT ALSO - AND THIS IS AMAZING TOO - EVEN FOR PEOPLE WHO READ A FEW BOOKS OR HAVING PROBLEM TO CONCENTRATE ON CREATIVE READING AND EVEN FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT READING "IS NOT FOR THEM"! THE PRESENTATION PLANING AND APPROACHING OF THE CONTENT OF THIS COURSE HAVE THE ABILITY TO INFLUENCE EVEN THEM IN A POSITIVE WAY. VERY GOOD SELECTION OF SUGGESTED BOOKS AT THE END OF THE COURSE URGING READERS DESIRE! CONGRATULATIONS TO THE INSTRUCTOR!

This is the second class I've taken from this instructor, and have truly enjoyed it. The lessons are manageable and bite-sized, and can be easily listened to -thus leveraging my time. Then when I am able to sit down, and look at the course more closely, I am able to find valuable, applicable and actionable items to round out my overview (example: getting started with a sample of his favorite books). Loved it! Thank you!

By Rodolfo Oliveira on 9/7/2016

Really actionable advice to improve your reading speed that will save you a lot of time. [Update] My review remais the same. Reviewed the course again and it remains actionable. Should serve as reference as there are so many jewels that you can use for a lifetime of study. His full course about reading 300 books in one year is this course on steroids. If you liked these tips, you'll become a monster with the paid course. This course will take you VERY far though.

By Gert Zantman on 7/5/2016

Very practical useful tips to enhance your reading . Far beyond speedreading , which is only one of the tools one can use to get a lot more out of ones reading. Appreciated the video on recommended books , which actually is a nice demonstration of the approach to reading he teaches . Sure gonna go for the bigger course. And checking out his website right now :)

By Bel Sahn on 3/18/2016

Clearly answered all of my concerns with the current educational system. I am currently a Junior in College, and I have finally become awakened to the flaws in our institutions. Not only that, I am now ready to take my learning into my own hands, and push myself even further than any coursework ever will. Thank you for the concise, but very memorable course! I will definitely listen to this daily for motivational boosts!

By Avnish Kumar on 3/10/2016

Well structured and quite motivating. Though the outcome was pretty good and I am on the way to buy the books recommended however I the expectations I had from the course was different. All in all I enjoyed going through this course. Recommend this course for everyone.
