As a beginner to PR still, I think it helps to do layer learning first. Then shortening the amount of layering to where your comfortable, etc etc. Kaiden pointed out to me that it's better to go for speed initially and comp will come later. I was using the same strat for Speedreading, although at that time no experiences with PR has taken place with me. I'm sure if you have the book in subconcious, it's pretty tempting for your mind to see the text again at a "slower" rate then it seen it when PRing. Personally, I think my mind insults me for regular reading and kills my comprehension. NOPS always when emotions and feelings get in the way in the beginning, I'm still getting some emotions and doubts about PR. Mostly important factor in NOPS is to believe in PR and become confused and curious and turning frustration into questions to spawn curiousity.
