Howard Berg: 我从小就热爱阅读，阅读帮助我度过了艰难的童年，并在11岁时达到大学阅读水平。我通过高效的学习方法，在一年内完成了心理学专业课程，并能够快速高效地学习和教授他人。快速阅读的重点在于高效学习和知识应用，而非单纯的阅读速度。我的方法是将学习心理学原理融入阅读策略，并通过学习心理学和阅读心理学课程完善方法。阅读≠学习，学习是能够在需要时运用和记忆信息。学习的衡量标准是知识的运用和记忆，而非阅读时间或页数。 我强调学习方法的重要性，以及普通人也能通过学习方法提升阅读速度和理解能力。理解阅读材料的关键在于掌握“图式”（schema），即背景知识。“图式”能够帮助读者更快更有效地理解阅读材料。掌握主题相关的词汇是提高阅读速度和理解能力的关键。随着对主题词汇和公式的掌握，后续阅读会变得更容易和更快。高效学习者应该优先学习新的知识，而不是在已掌握的知识上浪费时间。 Alex: 作为访谈者，Alex主要对Howard Berg的快速阅读方法、技巧和经验进行提问和总结，并分享自身经验。
