So happy for you that you’re about to hit 1,000,000 subs. Congrats Nate! Also, I live 30 minutes from Philly. I’d love to meet you sometime!!
Scammer commented on my post using your name and profile pic. No doubt I’m shocked when it notified me. Excited as I look for it, then his comment was, “Thanks for watching. Reach me out if you want guidance”
I’m like: *lol bye*
My brain voice is powerful 🤣
But I keep trying
Did Nate record this during his latest Ralph Waldo Emerson cabin trip to the woods?
I was hesitant to watch this video for the same issues i have with reading. I thought i had some form of learning disability because i constantly struggled to pronounced every word correctly in my mind that i would go back a million times just trying to comprehend every sentence i read. i only read non-fiction and since those books are super important for personal-growth and success, i tend to focus even harder and try to comprehend every sentence to the point where i would repeat each sentence back with out looking at the page. It has gotten so bad that when im doing something besides reading and i try to remember a specific line( word for word) from the current book or podcast that im listening to and i don’t get it exactly’; i get really frustrated and anxious knowing that i have to revisit that book later in the day. These thing have made me hate reading. It would take me months just to finish a damn 300 page book spending 4-5 hrs a day just reading. i have gone mad doing this as i have a hard time reading important warnings on signs or simple instructions to put something together. i just can’t let go of trying to vocalize and comprehend every word im reading. i avoid reading in public cuz ppl look at me weird because of my hyper-focused eyes. Do i need to see a doctor?

Well said nigga
@JJ Enobun hahaa
Am i the only indian student ?
In 9th standard who’s watching this ?
Haha merry exams boii 👍
I’m an Indian too!!
Good video Nate. Any tips on how to stop vocalizing every word when you read? I know I do that a lot.
Tried using my finger to read faster, but ended up using my fingers to eat chips instead
HAHAHHA thats the best
Dude you could be the new Avenger!
This is brilliant haha
Hahahahhaaahahahahahha me to
Dan Lok said you just need to read the table of contents to “read” the book lol
This tips are neat. What you said about the eye movement is so medically accurate. They are called saccades (when your eyes jump from word to word) and smooth pursuit (when your eyes follow a target). Both types try to keep the image in the fovea (the part of your eye where the neurons that transform light into brain waves are located). When reading is really important to have a target – like your finger, so you can capture all the words at first and understand the phrases faster. Only highly trained observers can make a smooth pursuit movement in the absence of a moving target 🎯.
This video was a lifesaver, trying to grow my personal capital and this helped
great tip on vocalizing it in your head; when I think about it I think thats one of the ways Ive been pretty quick at reading
The more you can learn…the more you can earn
Ppfffftttt. I quadrupled my reading speed in 10 seconds… My comprehension is at – 9000 though 😉😳
Haven’t even finished the video yet but had to pause to tell you how good it is! Quality content 🙌
I need to read 15 chapter by March 2 so yes! Anyways this man can become a model
Good luck reading!
Hey, Nate! What mic do you use?
it’s the unfamiliar words that consumes my time lol
I noticed a lot of successful people live in cold areas ?
Nate’s gonna hit a Mil between this vid and his next upload
Read faster using audible!!
The ‘claimed’ “science” is not 100% relevant. There are people whose eyes do not work as you explain. There are people whose brain doesn’t work as you explain. There are people who simply can not speed read. Maybe they just don’t take in (learn) quickly enough to speed read.
Such an underrated skill to have. In a time when you can learn about anything at any time, being able to absorb that knowledge is key! Great video!
Hit the like. Thank you.
Love your jacket, what kind is it
Fun fact: If you read just 10 pages a day every day, that’s 1 book/month (300 pages). Only takes 10-20min of your time.
This video was fire, people are sleeping 😤
Hyping me up
@Nate O’Brien I’d like to send donation pls send me your address
I’m confused on the stop vocalizing in our heads part. At this point it’s second nature but I’m confused what I’m supposed to do, to not do that. My understanding is that my brain will just absorb the word without having to pronounce it (with enough practice) right?
Omg, these tips have increased my reading speed up to 40%. I used to read about 140/150 pages a minute. Now it’s 200 or more pages a minute! Thank you for the video, Nate☺️. Your content is really great and beneficial. Keep it up ✨. Congrats on coming 1 mil subscribers 🔥
I once paid a few hundred dollars for a speed reading course that taught just these lessons. Unfortunately, they don’t work very well for highly technical books (e.g., math, coding, etc.), which is why I never stuck with them. They work great for novels, though.
One tip I can give for eliminating subvocalization is to hum a beat while reading to supplant the words you’re reading in your head. I used a military march (left, two, three, four) over and over again as I read. Eventually, you won’t need to do it as much. Most people, though, will never stop subvocalizing entirely.
Thanks Nate for your useful video
I think this is the case for watching videos as well. Nowadays when I’m watching more educational videos (like this one), I’m able to almost always have the video at 2x and still fully understand everything said. It’ll take some getting used to, but it really helps!
these are some really interesting tips!! thanks nateee
@Nate O’Brien fake acc lol
Just getting back to reading and I noticed that I have to re-read the sentence to understand what is being said. Any pointers
I hope you will have 1 million subscribers this week =)
I would like to learn how I read twice as slow!!!!!
um…my eye already moves in a smooth motion without looking at my finger
1.grouping
2. pacing
Thanks for this video Nate! Will apply those tips
What kind of Books u like to read?
you’re so close to 1 mill
Me when reading: 0.25x speed
Me when watching youtube: 2x speed
Me when texting: ATHLEAN-X speed
Damn. You really helped me with studying a ton of pages quickly!
I was reading 1 a week but I want to save some money too and now only one or two a month.
Excuse my foul mouth but this pissed me off a little. How do you read a book and comprehend it without vocalizing the words in your head? That’s like the whole point. So you are telling me I can mindlessly read a book. With no use use of anything but my eyes moving. That makes no sense. Their words you have to vocalize them. Like it’s literally making me so frustrated how you said that like it’s no big deal. Like look up a test for one of the books you’ve speed read. And post the results because like I’m irked at how you just went avoid saying the words in your head. Do you know how many entire pages I’ve had to reread because I mindlessly just started looking at the words and remembered zero parts of anything said. And you are telling me I fucking understood it. Like it’s making me so mad.
For someone who likes to read, but doesn’t have that much time (I have two little kids), this video is very valuable ☺️
I’m a researcher and I read for a living, by the time I get home, I just don’t want to see words… this helps a lot to start my recreational reading
Thanks Nate🙏
bro love ur content and stuff but this ain’t it
Really useful! Thank you so much dude 😁🙏
You should have a Google doc with the books you’ve read and what you’ll recommend. Your 2021/2020 book recommendation video was awesome!
Tags are useless lol
I learned this in high school in 1972.
such GREAT advice! and such an important lifelong skill. please do this! let’s elevate humanity together & become more educated 👋🥳
What is your speed in reading right now
So interesting
Don’t really know how to stop vocalyzing 😂
Excellent pointers. I’m finding it hard to apply in med school because the books and info is just soooo dense. But still, very useful stuff nonetheless
If you really want to 2X your reading speed, you need to learn to read one book with one eye while reading another book with the other eye. That’s what I do.
Bill Gates reads for 3 hours everyday. Goes to show that reading is valuable.
and that we all have way more time for it than we think
The Revenant 2 starring Nate O’Brien
Great video and great timing because I’m just about to read a book… Thank you Nate!!
My teacher in elementary school would shame kids using their finger when reading
I guess I can read a 300 pages book in just 2 days, looking to improve more!!
Awesome video a d great tips
Wow you’re getting close to 1M subs
I suppose when people are reading the title of the video, they are thinking this is something usual, but actually this is really great advices are doing on
Reading is an amazing way to fuel the mind!! I’m already on my 4th book this year. I’ve created a goal to read at least a book a month!
Are watch summary video’s on youtube! Sometimes books are just to wordy for what they are actually are saying.
Fun fact: when you read faster, you actually retain less information in the long term
The closing one eye thing was AWESOME! I love that technique with the finger! Will start applying it when reading right away. Thanks a lot!!
Wow I’ve never thought of these tips!! Thanks Nate! Congrats on almost 1 million subscribers!
Thanks for the tips!
What do you think about The millionaire fastlane?
THANKS FOR WATCHING
Reach out to me directly for your guidance
If you are going to put these tips into use , you should start with a simple book first , books like Mark twain first. If you try this with a book like physics or economic you wont get anywhere fast only frustrated. After you get the basic down then you can read something more channeling.
I swore I thought I saw you at the Pike Place Market in Seattle about a month ago but I had to do a double take. Then I thought, why would he waste his money coming here? Lol.
Nates Outfit looks like he just got done filming Game of Thrones
Watching this in low light and thought you had a hedgehog on each shoulder. But seriously, I really like these videos. I saw your discouragement in your insta story, but I think they’re valuable man! Keep it up!👍🏽👍🏽
Right on!! guard you phone # before you know it the idiots from the auto warranty co. will be calling you.
Hm Mike O’Brien is your brother? 🤔🤔🤔
Hey Nate, great video and it’s pretty useful as I’m a vivid reader as well and I have so many books that I wanted to read. What about for reader using kindle ? I’m slowly moving towards the paperless books and relay on the kindle or any other ebook devices to read. Hope to hear from you
Great video! Thanks.
Hey Nate! I just published my first EVER YouTube video, “How I Became a Self-made Millionaire Before 30”. I’d love it if you gave my first video a look and I welcome any and all feedback. I know I’ll probably get <100 views on my first one lol, but I'm committed to this for the long haul! Thanks for the inspiration.
How can I stop vocalising when I read something?😅 It is hard for me…
Video starts at 1:40
We all only have so much time. Reading faster is literally gaining time..
Thank you so much 🙏
Drwaing lines with a pen on a book?😱 Big no to me😅. Here learned things i never knew about, unique information.
Why is no one talking about how luscious his coat is
You’ve almost reached a million subs. Congrats! I hope to be where you’re at one day
Excellent. I needed this!
Won’t be useful if you don’t understand or remeber anything from the book
talked before 6:30, my bad
A friendly suggestion.. watch this video x1.25
Awesome I always wondered what the concept of speed reading is and now I understand. I might not use all of these tips to start with, but just started reading with my finger and it makes it so much clearer and easier to read thanks Nate!
I have short memory. I forgot most of the content after read. LOL
Great tips! But I love reading out loud 🥺
God ur videos suck.
Key learning points:
1. Use pointing finger
2. Read middle space only
3. No head vocalizing
4. Read about Author’s background and read Table of Contents before reading the book
Thanks Nate for a nice video!
Thank you so much for this video, Nate. What do you think about e-readers, ( Kindle, specifically)?
Needed to see this video. Thank you for your tips! 🙂
