How the CIA Solved Speed Reading

July 3, 2026

I used to hate reading. For years I avoided books. But then my ADHD curiosity got the best of me. What if I'm missing out by not reading?

The Discovery

Turns out slow reading is a symptom of an untrained brain.

I read dozens of books like "The Science of Reading," "Psychological Optics," "Reading in the Brain," and "Preconscious Processing."

Then I found out the CIA had their own program.

CIA's Secret

I was amazed. Turns out the CIA solved this for their agents years ago.

They'd cracked the code on reading faster and retaining more.

Live Training

I spent the last 3 months turning their documents into an actionable 60 minute training. So you don't just learn, you experience change and apply right away.

Want me to train you live for free over Zoom on the CIA's reading methods? Make sure to have your camera on or I will kick you out. That's just weird otherwise.

Final Thoughts

Here's the bottom line: slow reading isn't a fixed trait. It's a skill gap that can be closed with the right training methods.

The CIA figured this out decades ago for their agents. Now you can learn the same techniques without joining an intelligence agency.
