Course description

If you want to master the art of reading with genuine insight and intention, this program offers a comprehensive path to transform every page into meaningful learning. Reading is about more than speed—it’s about aligning your strategy with your unique goals and the content in front of you. Here, you’ll discover how to choose the best method for each situation, approach texts with clarity, and maximize comprehension at every stage: before, during, and after you read.

Taught by Lev Goldentouch, this journey is for anyone ready to read with purpose, sophistication, and confidence. You’ll learn essential skills that reach far beyond typical reading advice:

  • Tailor your strategy to any material:

    • Learn when to skim, scan, or dive deep—whether you’re handling complex academic texts, practical guides, or literature.

    • Understand how to adjust your approach for abstract vs. practical material and align it with your reading objectives.

  • Navigate multiple perspectives and unreliable narrators:

    • Develop the ability to handle texts with conflicting viewpoints, subtle argumentation, or deceptive narration, building critical analysis skills that let you see the “story behind the story.”

    • Discover techniques for quickly mapping arguments, distilling key ideas, and comparing sources for deeper understanding.

  • Go beyond surface comprehension:

    • Explore advanced cognitive tools such as iterative rereading, visualizing state machine diagrams, and tracing parallel timelines to make sense of dense or nonlinear content.

    • Use annotation, questioning, and note-taking to turn passive reading into active learning.

  • Enhance retention and engagement:

    • Learn how emotional reading and supporting literature increase your connection to the text, making ideas “stick” long after you close the book.

    • Practice cross-referencing, building your own web of knowledge as you connect themes, facts, and patterns across sources.

  • Read with a critical, adaptable mindset:

    • Whether you’re a student preparing for exams, a researcher sorting through conflicting studies, or a lifelong learner chasing curiosity, you’ll develop a flexible reading framework to suit any need.

    • Build habits that improve both immediate comprehension and long-term memory.

This program isn’t just about consuming more information—it’s about making every reading session count. You’ll come away with practical tools, cognitive strategies, and a renewed sense of confidence, so you can tackle any book, article, or document with purpose.

Reading becomes a transformative act, not a routine.
Enroll now and unlock a lifetime of sharper thinking, deeper learning, and greater satisfaction from everything you read.

Dr. Lev Goldentouch, Lifehacker and technology guru.Dr Lev Gold finished PhD in machine learning and information theory when he was 27 years old. Understanding of similarity of machine learning and human super-learning allowed Lev to learn immense amounts of knowledge in many technological and cognitive subjects. Immediately afterwards Lev opened a consulting company, which offers its services to highly skilled individuals, agile startups and technological giants like Samsung. The super-learning tools developed by Lev allow ordinary people to learn x10 speed of their colleagues, and enable machines to solve extremely complex problems. Lev is an active lifehacker, constantly looking for new and better ways to do things, and willing to share his unique knowledge and experience with others.
