Yes, there are exceptions.
But, let me tell you this...
I first found out about PhotoReading back in
1987 when I was a sophmore in high school.
Trying to convince a parent to spend $750 on a
reading class was almost impossible. And, back
then, there was no how-to book or self-study
course. All a person could do was salivate
over the possibilities with PhotoReading.
It wasn't until January of 1992 when I was in
the middle of my first year in college that I
had the opportunity to take the live
PhotoReading seminar with Paul Scheele.
Within the first week after the PhotoReading
seminar, my study time was almost cut in half.
And, when we covered the material in class
that I had PhotoRead and activated, it came
together so much quicker and easier.
So, I know what it's like to not have the
means in order to learn PhotoReading. And, I
know of several people who were successful at
teaching themselves to PhotoRead with just the
book. I know it is possible. And, I coach
people the best I can who have only the book
just in case it clicks for them.
The nice part about the self-study course is,
Paul Scheele created several hours of special
skill-building exercises which integrate
powerful methods of accelerated learning so
you can learn how to do each technique in the
PhotoReading whole mind system correctly, and
together.
