1. By the end of this course, you will be able to read at least 100 books this year --even if you have little time and read too slowly…guaranteed!
2. You will learn the complete 7 step framework I’ve used to read over 1000 books in the last 4.5 years (completely upgraded for 2017)
3. You will also learn how to ingrain what you learn so deeply that it becomes part of who you are (not just something you talk about)
4. You will instantly increase your reading speed (and remember almost everything you read better)
5. You will learn how to turn your reading to action, so you stop feeling stuck and start moving towards your dreams
6. You will also get access to worksheets and tools to master everything you learn

In this course, I’ll show you the entire, FULLY UPDATED step-by-step blueprint I’ll use to read over 300 books this year.

Because reading isn’t just something you should do — it’s a must if you want to live your dreams.

It’s no wonder Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Elon Musk, Mark Cuban, Will Smith and many more of the world’s most radically successful people read more in a month than most people do in a decade.

In this course, I’ll help you become a learning machine as well.

I’ll show you how to pick the right books, and how to get through them as quickly as humanly possible so you can take what you learn to get real results in your life.

If you want to read more fiction books, this course isn’t for you. This also isn’t a course just on “speed reading” because I prefer reading the right things than reading the wrong things quickly.

All I care about is reading a book or two a day and using what I learn to make my life better. If you want to do the same, this course can change your life (I know because many of the students of the course have told me exactly that!)

Here’s a sample of what you’ll learn inside:

1. The ONE change you need to make to change how you read forever 

2. Why everything you learned in school stops you from reading more than 20 books a year (and what to do about it)

3. A not so obvious, hidden benefit of reading that will make you want to read every, single day 

4. The 300 Book Excel Sheet: Use this excel sheet to perfectly organize the hundreds of books you’ll read this year [Lecture 10]

5. A little known trick that can INSTANTLY double your reading speed 

6. “The Double Time Solution”: A Simple thing you can do to read twice as many books without spending ANY extra time 

7. How to make sure you read all the time 

8. Do you do THIS after you read? If not, all that time reading could be a total waste 

9. How to use what you learn from books to make more money (or get anything else you want) 

10. 3 simple ways to read any book quickly (HINT: none of them are what we call “traditional reading”) 

11. What to do as soon as you open the book…and why it can save you hours

12.How to take notes on a book so you can review it even years later in 20 minutes or less 

13. Why dividing all your reading into two specific categories can make you more successful 

14. What books to NEVER read 

15. How to read even the most technical books in a day – the ones that used to take months to read 

16. The 3 types of books you NEED to read 

17. How to permanently memorize everything you read 

18. What I learned from a Roman philosopher from 2,000 years ago to organize my bookshelf 

 

And much, much more…

You’ll also get access to 8 cheat sheets to be able to remember, and use everything we cover. 

So to become a learning machine and read more books than you ever thought possible, just click the “take this course” button because every day you delay is an extra book you could have read.

To your success,

Brandon
