I'm a little over half way through the PR course and I have to say it's really working. The thing I'm starting to notice is that I'm able to "see" the whole book now. I'm picking things up from books more than I used to. Things about the book will sometimes just pop in my head (which I think is called spontaneous activation?)
I don't want to come here and sound like a cheesy testimonial or something like that. But, I was like most people when exploring PR. I couldn't understand how this was going to work. I can see how the term Photo Reading can confuse most people. Most people probably expect to learn some magic trick that will allow them to "photograph" a book and they will know every word. Not so.
I find this course teaches you HOW to read a book. There's so much more than flipping pages or simply reading left to right. This is getting your whole brain involved. But, I can see how that's difficult for 98% of the population.
Seriously, most of the bitchin' I read about or hear about this course more than likely come from people who;
1. Never even took the course
2. Never finished the course
3. Didn't practice what they did learn.
I'm just really impressed so far and I can't wait to teach this to my two kids. Imagine if they taught this to us back when we were kids. I don't know why this isn't being taught in every school in America.
Could you imagine the students we would be turning out if schools used accelerated learning and PR. Well, like I said at least we can teach our own children to give them the advantage.
I recommend to take your time with this and like Paul says, "go easy on yourself".
