Your questions reveal you haven't learned how to use PhotoReading quite yet. Give yourself some slack. Learning occurs in layers.

Now I think I got it figured out. If it's a book you don't want to read but have to for some reason, or a book that's 90% cr*p, use photoreading. If it's a GOOD BOOK like Natural Brilliance use Photoreading and finish it off with rapid reading.
Nope. PhotoReading works on all printed material. You'll see how as you begin doing the system correctly.

I can't believe that I told a whole bunch of photoreaders that you can actually fly with speedreading if you do the photoreading step beforehand and because I even used the word 'speedreading' that's all anyone cared about. It's like a swear word here.
When you are using PhotoReading correctly, the differences are self-exclamatory.

What's the difference between a preview and a survey? What's the difference between an objective, an assignment or a purpose? What's the difference between trigger words and key ideas? What's the difference between a postview and a review? What's the difference between crafting mind probes and coming up with questions? What's the difference between superreading and skimming? What's the difference between dipping and scanning?
The difference is in how you use them.

What the difference between rapid reading and speedreading?
Speed reading techniques are all about cramming information into the greater processing centers of your brain through the limited conscious mind, hoping something sticks.
If you use speed reading techniques with a purpose/outcome statement after doing the PhotoReading step, they actually function in reverse, as they will begin triggering up the information you absorbed during the PhotoReading step.
quote:
What makes something "Whole Mind reading" as opposed to "Not whole mind reading?"
The distinction lies in how you blast the printed info into your other-than-conscious at a page per second with the rod vision in your cornea, together with the activation techniques which "burn in" the new neuro pathways between your conscious mind and where all the information is absorbed in your subconscious during the PhotoReading step.
quote:
Is it the questions? The purpose? The affirmations? The Mind Map? The Photoreading step? A combination of all?
Yup. Combo of it all.
At the same time, you also benefit from doing just the PhotoReading step on multiple books.
quote:
Is it possible to have an idea come to you that you have not dipped on?
Yup. The more books you PhotoRead and fully activate, the more spontaneous activation will occur.
quote:
If you skim by it, could you still know it?
You'll consciously know it better, and quicker, and retain it longer.
Post back when you have PhotoRead more books. Share how much time you spent activating.
Good luck!
