Let's see what it looks like to put everything together with random facts!
Now, let's see what it looks like to follow along with a text and go through the SuperLearning process.
By now, you know a lot about speed-reading and SuperLearning. Now, it’s time to think seriously about how to maintain the new memories you’re creating over the long term. This quiz will test some of your misconceptions before we dive in.
One of the major misconceptions about super learning is that you don't have to review your new knowledge. On the contrary, super learners review their knowledge in a systematized and deliberate way. This lecture will share some great tips on how to do that effectively.
In this lecture, we learn about mind mapping, A powerful technique for creating, storing, and organizing new knowledge.
Memory Palaces are one of the single most powerful techniques you can use to improve your memory. In this lecture, we will learn what they are and how to use them.
In this lecture, we learn about two different powerful techniques for adopting our visual memory skills towards memorizing strings of numbers.
Pre-reading is a big part of the SuperLearner methodology, and so in this pre-quiz, we're going to assess some of your thoughts about it.
In this lecture we learn about the SQ3R system.
Pre-reading is a critical component of accelerated learning. In this lecture, you'll understand why.
In this lecture we start to understand some strategies for generating interest and maintaining focus.
This lecture will give you an opportunity to see what it actually looks like to pre-read, and what things you should be noticing in your pre-reading.
A lot of people trick themselves into thinking they understood what they read. Don't be one of those people!
We've finally arrived at Speed Reading. This pre-quiz will test some of your assumptions about it, and generate some curiosity and thinking on the matter.
In this lecture we learn about the biggest hurdle to reading faster and comprehending more: subvocalization.
In this lecture we'll learn about saccades, a key part of speed reading
Now it's time to learn how to make your saccades wider and more efficient.
"How do I use saccades on my _______ device?" This lecture tells you all about it!
Some closing thoughts on saccades and how to use them in the real world, as well as how to make them even more efficiently.
It's time to start speed reading! First, we'll learn how to use a visual pacer for training purposes.
In this lecture we outline a specific training schedule for the coming weeks.
This clever little trick will help you manage the speed increases.
When we speed read, we don't actually create markers during the reading process. This lecture will clear that right up for you!
Here's a step-by-step walkthrough of how we do it!
Ideally, we want our markers and their links to coincide with the structure of the text. This lecture explains how.
From here on out, you'll be training largely on your own. This lecture explains how to manage that and what to do if you backslide.
Now that you’re humming along as a SuperLearner, it’s important that you understand the key role that environmental factors and behaviors can play on your learning efficacy. This quiz will get you to start thinking and challenging some of your assumptions.

Not all of our learning comes in books in blog posts. We also do a lot of learning by audio or video. This lecture will help us accelerate and improve that learning using the same techniques and adapting them to different media.
One of the best and most impactful ways to apply your new skills is by learning a language. This lecture will tell you how to adapt your skills to do that in a much faster and more efficient way!
Remembering faces and names is one of the biggest frustrations for most people. This lecture will give you a simple system to avoid any future difficulty or embarassing mishaps.
One of Udemy's Top Selling Courses of All Time - New & Improved Version 2.5!
Don't accept imitations!
After over 50,000 satisfied students in our original course, Become a SuperLearner® has been updated, upgraded, and improved from the ground up.
This course will teach you how to hack your learning, reading, and memory skills, empowering you to learn anything and everything faster and more effectively.
Whether you're a student, a professional, or simply embarking on a new hobby, you are forced to grapple with an ever-increasing amount of information and knowledge. In fact, it's believed that one week's worth of the New York Times contains more information than people 100 years ago encountered in their entire lives. We've all experienced the frustration of an ever-growing reading list, struggling to learn a new language, or forgetting things you learned in even your favorite subjects.
Anyone can develop SuperLearning skills!
This course is about improving your ability to learn new skills or information quickly and effectively. We go far beyond the kinds of "speed-reading" (or glorified skimming) you may have been exposed to, diving into the actual cognitive and neurological factors that make learning easier and more successful. We also give you advanced memory techniques to grapple with the huge loads of information you'll be able to process.
You'll learn how to input and retain information in a whole new way - a faster, better way
The core of this SuperLearning course involves 3 "Super Skills":
Speed-reading with high (80%+) comprehension and understanding
Memory techniques for storing and recalling vast amounts of information quickly and accurately
Developing the cognitive infrastructure to support this flood of new information long-term
However, the SuperLearning skills you'll learn in this course are applicable to many aspects of your every day life, from remembering phone numbers to acquiring new skills or even speaking new languages.
How this new course will change your life and triple your learning speed:
The sad irony is that in order to learn most of these superlearning skills and memory techniques in the past, you had to read dozens of books and psychological journals. Or, you had to hire an expensive private tutor who specializes in superlearning. That's what I did. And it changed my life.
Fortunately, my instructors (experts in the fields of superlearning, memory techniques, and speed-reading) agreed to help me transform their materials into the first ever digital course. That course, Become a SuperLearner™ 1.0, took the internet by storm, becoming one of the top courses in the history of Udemy, and resulting in a bestselling book and top-ranking podcast.
How is it different from SuperLearner® 1.0?
Over the last 2 years and 50,000+ students, we’ve had tens of thousands of data points and pieces of feedback, helping us improve both our methodology and our teaching practices. This new course has more (and better) content than ever before, including:
Completely re-written lectures emphasizing clarity and engagement!
All-new lectures on topics never before covered!
Hands-on demonstration videos for every major concept
Dramatically improved video and audio quality
Interactive worksheets to print and complete
Even MORE supplemental resources!
We can confidently say that this is the best, most comprehensive accelerated learning product we’ve ever released on Udemy.
The course will require 2-3 hours of memory and speed-reading practice and training per week, and last roughly 7-9 weeks. It won't be easy - but if you put in the work, you are guaranteed to succeed.
In addition to the lectures, there is an additional 1.5 hours of supplemental video content from TED, YouTube, and other sources which are considered part of the course curriculum.
