Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Books for photoreading class

I am taking the photoreading class in August. This class requires you to photoread a book at night for each night of the class. Can you tell me what kind of books I should purchase for this? Fiction, non fiction, textbooks, biographies, etc

Thanks,

Take your pick. It's your choice. Another option get a book from the library.

I don't know who's class you're taking usually you only need one non-fiction book that you haven't read but would like to read. It's becomes included with the rest of the books you'll work on during the class.

I couldn't ask any more of my students than to PhotoRead one book on Saturday night.So that they don't have more than 30-minutes of home play. Friday evening is definitely optional since class finishes at 9pm and even I don't get home before 10:30 after running some errands.

So One book is all that is required although some people bring two or three so they can decide on the night.

I recommend something along the line of self-help, management, communications or learning. A skill that you would like to pick up for personal benefit is ideal. Avoid biographies and autobiographies, reference, history and textbooks.

Biographies and autobiographies tend to fit more into the category of Novels and pleasure reading.

Reference and history books are rarely read as books more as chapters much the same as textbooks requiring more time than the average book in the first place. You'll be able to work through these books better once you've learned the PhotoReading system. It's just easier to spend 1/10th the time you usually spend on a book of about 200 to 250 pages and see the results.

With a textbook in the class you're only spending 1/20th or even 1/50th of the time during the class compared to what it would take you to learn the information in the book with traditional reading. You feel like you didn't get much out of it and you don't because as a beginner you've taken too much of a leap. To get anything out of a textbook you still need to spend 1/3rd to 1/5th the time it takes to traditionally read. There isn't enough time in a class to do yourself justice as a beginner.

So pick a book that would normally take you 6 to 10 hours to read. For the average reader that's a book of about 250 pages on a subject that interest them or what they would like to know about is ideal.
