RE: Tim Ferris versus Tai Lopez on SPEED READING
awesome post! I'm a really slow reader so I did try Tim Ferris technique in the past but just felt like what I was "reading" wasn't sinking in and I wasn't understanding the content fully but I know I just have to practise more. I also tried Tai technique in the past, I think it is really true that every book usually only has 1 or 2 key points but need to pad it out to make a book. I tried just trying to find the few golden nuggets in a book and moving on to the next book but realised that I didn't enjoy reading that way :P I guess i'm a fool, I still like reading from front to back.
With Tai's 67 steps course, how did you find the content? was the content good/something you haven't heard before or did you end up going through it for the sake of finishing it? super curious :)
I really liked tai's video back in the day. I would binge on them and learnt soo much but now he's kind of lost his magic in my opinion. He's just doing giveaways all the time.
@alishako That's interesting that Tim Ferris' technique did not work for you. I actually enjoyed Tai's 67 Steps course. It was more motivational to me than anything else. It was more of a kick in the pants to inspire me to focus on things that are important. So, I found value in it for that reason.
I agree, I was really into Tai Lopez way back in the day before he became famous ("lost in his own sauce" is what I like to call it, or "drinking his own cool aid" or "getting high off his own supply"). I think he is just a marketer now, whereas in the beginning he seemed to be very invested in nurturing a maturing an intelligent community of followers. Now, he is just interested in marketing marketing marketing.
