3/2/21 - Howard Stephen Berg (World's Fastest Reader)

Howard Stephen Berg's research into techniques for harnessing the power of the mind enabled him to pioneer his methods for reading over 25,000 words per minute (once considered quite impossible), writing over 100 words per minute, and for advanced problem solving strategies. The Guinness Book of World Records published Berg's claim as the world's fastest reader in their 1990 issue, the only year they distinguished this honor. Howard's accomplishments have attracted wide attention from both the media and the academic community, enabling him to appear on over 1000 radio and television programs and spurring featured stories in major newspapers across the country.
