Hello dmlocke

Just adding a little to what Photoread4me has said in the post above.

I would like to know is this your first book that you are trying to PhotoRead? If yes then learning PhotoReading with a technical book, IMHO, makes the task a lot more difficult. As per my opinion, you should learn PhotoReading with one or two light, non-fiction books. Depending upon your interest you can pick up any books. However, if you are sitting on the fence, then my suggestions are :-

1.Blink : The Power of Thinking without Thinking by Malcom Gladwell
2.The Speed of Trust by Stephen M.R. Covey

This will help you practice, understand, and appreciate the process better.

Further, how did you learn PhotoReading? I mean did you just pick up the PhotoReading Whole Mind System book or you purchased the Self-Study course? In case you purchased the self study course what was your experience through the two books which Paul guides you to PhotoRead?

Further, as Photoread4me mentioned above, it will be a good idea to activate a chapter or two at a time. Ask yourself following mind probing questions:-

1. What would you like to know in these chapter(s)?
2. What do you think is important in these chapter(s)?
3. What it is in these chapter(s) that will help you develop your skills?

I hope I have been of some help here.

Photoread4me : As usual, excellent post!!

God bless you.

Kind regards
