Greetings,

I have been working with the whole mind system for a while, and I can confidently say that it is useful.

Yesterday while I was goin through the audio series coursebook I read the article about effective reading.(The art of reading to your full potential). In that article there is said to be two ways of reading. One is photoreading and the other is analytical reading.

Firstly can anyone elaborate more on analytical reading. What is it? I know it is the way to go if you are reading something you don't know fully. An example in my situation is NLP and Ericksonian hypnosis. I know about alot of nlp and definitions of things however I don't know submodalities and meta-states fully yet. Should I use analytical reading or photoreading.

Personally say when reading Erickson's books I need to know it word by word, or when reading Bandler's work he always has something intresting(an analogy or a metaphor for example) that I can use later. Which reading style should I use or how can I use both simultaneously? In what order should I use them?

And also in the field of NLP there is always something I learn when I read a book. So I never know the field completely.(Nor anyone in the world does) And in that article it is said that you should read a book analytically if you are going to learn something new. How will I make use of photoreading? What are your views?
