Even with all the advancement and many number of entertainments available, nothing can replace the pleasure of reading a good book. However there are people who find it difficult to read, while others do it with ease.
An article published in the success.com suggests a few techniques that would enable people to understand the secret behind reading.
The first point to consider is why we read. It says the habit would make unique connection between old ideas and new ones.
It is always best to read the whole book instead of skimming it as it will give out different ideas. This will also ensure that one does not have to memorise the book.
After deciding on the reason to read the book, the next step is deciding how fast to do it. Reading a book slowly will not have much of an impact. It is always best to practice speed reading. There should always be a balance between the two as one may not be able to retain the information just by moving eyes across the words faster. There are people who prefer the audio books too.
The next key point is to keep reading always. The author suggests that audio books help in the cause. 'As long as I have my phone and headphones, I can read literally anywhere. As such, I not only read during stretches of free time, I also read in the transitional moments of life,' the author states.
The most important thing is that cover a topic from all angles. Reading different books on a particular topic will give various points of views. This will help one to overcome the ideas that agree with what they already believe.
