    Dorian Hackett

    ‘When someone tells you, it can’t be done, it’s more a reflection of their limitation, not yours…’ Dorian Hackett is a native Austrian and an author, who writes all his work in English. He graduated from with a degree in Civil Engineering and a master’s in Construction and currently works for a construction company. He is engaged to be married and lives his fiancé and their Labrador, Murphy. As an aside to his day job, Dorian discovered that he enjoyed writing while he was completing the thesis for his masters. So, when he was finished with studying, he decided to write books that would help others to improve their lives and fortunes. His two titles to date are Millionaire Mindset, which helps readers to develop the right train of thought for success and Speed Listening, which is useful for those who have to plough through lots of information in their jobs. In his spare time Dorian enjoys working out at the gym as often as he can and walks his dog to relieve the stresses of daily life. He loves to travel to exciting and distant destinations when he gets the opportunity and when on vacation, he is a keen scuba diver. One of his long time ambitions is to ride a motorcycle on a proper racetrack to satisfy his need for speed. As far as the future goes, Dorian hopes to write more books in the future, that will entertain and educate his readers and hopefully go some way to changing their lives, even if just a little.

      Quite informative. But has grammar errors that slowed me down.

      Most of the material I need to learn about should be listened to instead of actually read through, which works to flatten my learning curve immensely. -WSDB

    Speed Listening - Dorian Hackett

    Introduction

    Have you ever been listening to an audio book or a podcast during your day to day routines such as when you are driving to work? If so, you may have noticed that it takes a lot of time to get to the end of the audios.

    It is difficult to finish a podcast that is for an hour in less time; however, it is possible. You can start processing the information that you hear at a quicker pace with a few tricks and tips.

    As technology has evolved over the past decades, there is information everywhere around us. We are surrounded by media that takes a lot of time to consume. From watching movies or listening to the podcast, we are always looking for ways to increase the speed at which we engage in these media facilities.

    In this modern age listening to podcasts and audio books has become a popular exercise. People are listening to the media instead of trying to read about information.

    This works better for people as they can multitask better while listening, as compared to reading where you need to pay attention to the words. Listening to media is often done during commuting, doing exercise, or during someone's leisure time.

    Chapter 1: what is speed listening?

    Speed listening is a method used by people to be able to comprehend more information at a fast rate. This is a method that is extremely useful in the modern digital age, where there is a plethora of information all around us.

    According to Wikipedia, 'speed listening is a subcategory of speed learning in which students seek to increase the rate at which they can listen while retaining full comprehension.'

    Where is speed listening used?

    Speed listening can be used in the following situations:

    Text to speech web sites such as Speechify

    Audio book web sites such as Audible

    Podcast web sites such as Apple iTunes and Spotify

    What are the advantages of speed listening?

    Speed listening has a number of advantages, including:

    Increased speed

    Speed listening will help you multiply the rate at which you are reading. You can increase your reading speed by a minimum of 40%. The more you motivate yourself and work on practicing with your speed, the higher it will be. Additionally, your comprehension will also increase after you start practicing speed listening.

    Read the maximum amount of words

    Through speed listening, you will be able to practice how to read up to 2500 words per minute, and beyond.

    Improve your concentration

    Speed listening will help you increase the ability of your brain to concentrate on relevant subject matters and not be distracted. You will not procrastinate as much as you used to when you
