Course Description
This course will triple your learning rate. You will turbocharge your reading speed and memory. Very few things can influence the professional success one has as much as their ability to learn. Warren Buffett spends four or more hours reading every day. Bill Gates reads a book per week. Elon Musk spent most of his childhood reading. But unlike these individuals, you are most likely unlocking only a small portion of the potential benefits of reading and learning. Only by accelerating your learning rate can you truly reap the powerful benefits of books.
You’ll become a rapid reader, capable of reading dozens and dozens of books per year in record time. This is fundamental in helping you cover more ground in your reading, learning many additional fields while diving deeper in every single one of them.
You’ll also learn how your brain works so that you can hack it using mnemonics and effective memory techniques. You’ll effortlessly boost your memory so that you can remember dozens of things from every book you read, becoming a true learning machine and able to handle the tsunami of information that comes your way every day.
Given your busy schedule, the course also includes flexible techniques depending on how much time you can hope to put into learning. Busy? Learn techniques you can use right away. Have a spare 20 minutes one night? Learn drills & exercises to take your learning even further. Maximize your ability to learn no matter the time you have available.
What's even better: UltraReading Academy can help you do all of this in one evening. You’ve probably failed to find courses that can help you accelerate your learning and fit in your busy schedule. Well, UltraReading Academy is designed to be short and practical. You’ll be able to immediately implement the techniques we cover, not having to waste hours and hours on irrelevant and impractical information. I don’t like wasting my time, and I hope you don’t either.

My favorite thing in the world is learning. I am obsessed with finding and applying the best learning techniques out there. I’ve spent thousands of hours studying, implementing, and tweaking dozens of tools and have made it my mission to share the best and most effective ones with students across the world.
I have gone from reading 25 books per year to over 100, from reading 1 page in 2 minutes to 2 pages in 1 minute, all while tripling how much I remember per book. I’ve applied my techniques in learning numerous different subjects ranging from macroeconomics to university physics.

Önerileri ve anlatımı gayet anlaşılır bir şekildeydi, teşekkür ederim :) His suggestions and explanations were very clear, thank you.

Very Helpful! Great presentation skills, easy to listen to and understand. Good flow of sentences, didn't jump around like some instructors. Totally recommend.

The content and structure is good - the coach is very good however the sound is very quiet compared to other Udemy classes so I can only listen in a quiet space with the volume on full. This rules out walking and listening for me however I am enjoying the course very much and improving by following the advice in the videos.

It was a great, free, quick informative course about speed-reading while maintaining reading comprehension. The memory palace was a little confusing, but it may be a user error on my end. The Try it out tasks at the end of certain points were great. Thanks for this awesome course!

I think it's a pretty good course. It is the perfect course for people who want to start speed reading because the instructions are clear and the methods are simple and effective.

So far so good. Volume is a bit low and I need to max my computer speakers, which is jarring if another notification sounds while I am watching the course.
By Karen De on 1/3/2021
Lots of great insights and hints. The examples were helpful and I think even more would really help solidify the concepts being taught. I'm looking forward to improving my reading speed and comprehension. Thanks!

This may not be an entirely fair rating since I had seen some similar material before, so didn’t learn much that was new. That said, it’s a decent, concise course on the main concepts of speed reading and memory improvement.
By Laura Greco on 11/10/2020
I have read many good books in the past few years that have taught me so much, but it can be a bit annoying just remembering a couple of things from each of them. Matheus is able to teach extremely useful techniques in a concise and objective manner. Definitely recommend it!

Highly stimulating - I've been looking for a way recently to improve the rate of my knowledge intake on fields outside my university degrees and can only commend the presenter for providing a refreshing take. Looking forward to applying this to my Neuroscience/Data Analytics textbooks, let's see if they work for non-humanities fields.
