I was convinced by reading and researching Photoreading. I found very little negative comments about it and those that did had slanted views in my opinion. I don't expect to read as fast as Peter but I don't need to. I just need it to help me read a lot faster than I do now and not fade away after a month.
I have the book Rapid Reading Made E-Z which is a synopsis of the system (which I have just ordered). It has helped but I tried to use it on text books first and that is not the best way to start.
So, what convinced me.
1. A lot of supporting evidence that I found on the net.
2. Reading the Rapid reading book.
3. I managed to score a reduced price on the full set and I'm prepared to risk that for the potential benefits. I probably would have paid the full price if I needed to.
4. I learned to draw through some unusual circumstances and this taught me that there is only two keys to any skill, Persistence and Passion.
That means to me that if I fail it's not the course that failed but my determination or desire. If I get discouraged then the course did not fail.
Anyway, that's my 2c worth.
Regards
