Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Mathematics Apocrypha

Hi everyone,
I picked up a book full of lovely anecdotes. Prepared, previewed, photoread, pulled triggerwords and got set to activate.

Thing is: I end up wanting to read more or less every little anecdote. They are wonderful.

My purposes are: Entertainment and feeding my curiosity as well as creating anchors for learning more technical maths (when studying Gauss' Theorem, it is pleasant to have some stories about him, some ideas about his life... not directly helpful in learning the actual theorem, I guess, but it definitely helps keep the fire blazing).

My question:
Is there a good way to activate such a text? I mean, apart from simply giving in and slow reading it...

We should always allow ourselves the time for pleasure reading. Photoread and rapid read is perfectly acceptable for that. The idea is that Photoreading gives you permission to do that to spend as much time as you need with a book to serve your purpose. If pleasure reading of the book is your purpose the set the time, how long you're going to read for and enjoy the book. Never need to rush something that brings you enjoyment.

The have to reading where you need certain information for study, work, career or personal research is where you really want to get to the point fastest.

That seems like the best way - thanx Alex...

Since part of my purpose is to learn to photoread, I will simply pick up a different book for that
