I'm not one of those who believes that you have to believe in Photoreading for it to work. I don't approach it as a religion. I approach it as a set of methods that, when followed, do produce the advertised results.
quote:
Some of you imply that healthy skeptics either have not read a PR book because they are unwilling to spend $12, or are not open-minded. These suggestions are certainly ludicrous. For one thing, the mere fact that they are willing to spend a lot of time here exploring the controversial technique and sincerely interacting with experienced PR practioners certainly speaks to the contrary.
Since I'm the only one who mentioned purchasing a $12 book or borrowing one from your local library, I'm thinking these comments are directed to me.
I'm not so sure that it's a ludicrous suggestion. How much time would you estimate that you've spent here when you speak of "a lot of time?" Now tell me how much time would it normally take you to read 80 pages? The entire Photoreading system is clearly outlined in the first 80 pages of the book. As I mentioned previously, there's even a test on page 77 that you can use to measure and evaluate your progress with the system. The main points of the system are highlighted so that you can get the gist of the system in 25 minutes.
Would you say that you've spent more or less than 25 minutes looking for validation of what you've read? I would say that your time could have been better spent exploring the system for yourself and testing yourself to see if it works. That's all that really matters anyway, whether it works for you or not.
I'm sorry you think my suggestions are ludicrous. It was never my intention to imply that you and others are not open minded. I just think you could have conducted your search for the truth about Photoreading in a more productive and less time-consuming way.
Ultimately, it's your time and you should spend it any way you choose.
