May Ling even performs an acapella song on the Maverick Show! She then talks about running her first marathon at age 35, and subsequently completing 3 full marathons and 20 half marathons in a dozen countries. She explains the concept of “meditation in motion” and how distance running enabled her to meditate at a much higher level, both while running and stationary. She talks about some of her most recent trips to Budapest, Rome and Kuala Lumpur, including a story about why you should always talk to your taxi driver. She then goes on to discuss her latest course “The 7 Skills of Speedreading” and explains how she can read at about 10x the average person’s speed. She talks about how she became a speed-reader out of necessity when she was managing a billion dollar “short portfolio” for a hedge fund when the economy started to collapse. She dismantles the misnomer about speed-reading being a “hack” and talks through the actual mechanics of how people can learn to speed-read without comprehension loss.
