Jon Bjarnason

Jon Bjarnason is a Speed Reading Master Trainer and the founder of Speed Reading Simplified.

For more than 21 years, Jon has dedicated his work to one goal: helping people upgrade their reading skills in a structured and measurable way.

He has trained over 19,000 students — including university students, professionals, entrepreneurs, and executives — teaching them how to read faster, improve concentration, and increase comprehension without sacrificing depth.

Jon discovered his passion for performance-based reading training while studying Corporate Law. What began as an academic interest evolved into a refined teaching system focused on deliberate practice, habit correction, and measurable cognitive improvement.

His books represent the foundational frameworks he teaches in live courses and coaching programs — practical systems designed to help readers process information more efficiently in a demanding, information-heavy world.

Based in Iceland, Jon continues to write, teach, and develop structured reading programs for students and professionals who want to strengthen their primary input system: how they read.
