Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Multiple Subject Books

When Photoreading a multiple subject book
such as a history book or reference book etc.
do you Photoread the entire book or each section and do you activate the entire book or each section?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

ccteach,

The beauty of the PR systems is it's flexibility!

PR the entire book never hurts ... in fact, you may pick up additional insight into the subject or subjects.

You could activate whatever chapters interest you the most or draw you ... remember that the chapters that make up a book, normally make up a whole! So to get the entire picture or gest of the book ... PR it in it's entirely. To understand just the parts that make up the book ... then PR the chapters that draw you.

Do what you must, to build the degree of comprehension you desire ...you're in control!

Humbily,

I guess it would depend on your purpose for reading the book. Having said that I tend to PR entire books even if there are sections which I don't think I'll need consciously. I might activate all sections that I think are applicable then why not ask you unconscious what else might be useful in this book for me to know. Maybe nothing..maybe something..Maybe an entirely new train of throught that the author or a teacher has never thought of. This I think is the real potential of PRing. You never know, the none activated stuff may appear in an other subject and you'll know exactly where to go and look, this would save you alot of time!

I would photoread the entire book and activate what I needed.

To be more specific, the first time through I would photoread the whole thing and then on subsequent sessions I would just photoread the chapter that I was interested in before I activated it.

Of course that suggestion assumes a longer time frame with the book but if its for school or something then that shouldn't be a problem.

!!!When you're going to PR a book let's say 1000 pages, and you want to review the book in periods of 300 pages each, Do you preview the whole book and then just PR each 300 pages, or you just preview each 300 pages and then PR those pages only? !!!!

I did place this question yesterday, but today I realized that was included into the original statement, so I placed again seprated.

If you ar planning to PR a book several times for each time you do that, do you have to preview in order to get better results or you just preview the same book at the very first session of PR, and thereafter just PR and activate.
Thank you for your comments

I'd preview the entire book.

Then as you need to study different sections, PhotoRead a chapter or two before the section, PhotoRead the section, and then PhotoReading a chapter or two after the sections.

Then activate the section you need to study. Review mindmaps from previous activations, if you have them.

Maintain flexibility because you might discover a better way for that particular text as you are studying it. This too, as I told Jigish in another post, is a great opportunity to apply the 4-step Natural Brilliance model.

Thanks Pete, and by your last comment do you refer to direct learning as it is explained in the book?, if so, I have a few questions, (I'm sorry that I posted so many questions but this method has been so extraordinary to me that I want to use it in everything),1st of all it's possible to use DL for material like medical books, and if I choose to use the direct learning approach, in order to prepare my medical board, how I schedule my work in relationship to PR the whole material, I have now about 7 books to read of about 1000 pages each (more or less), and if I already did PR on those books and I'm activating some of them would it be the use of direct learning opposite to what I'm doing with concious activation in order to get the details of the text, or both activations by rapid reading, mind maping, etc etc, and DL could be both a complement of each other. Hope you can get the idea of my question. Thanks in advance.

Direct Learning is learning behaviors or improving skills through PhotoReading.

So, you can use Direct Learning to improve your study skills, but I think you would be best serve by good old fashioned PhotoReading and activation.
