I am doing some experiments with photoreading. I've decided to photoread an econimics book(which is really hard to understand) without activating it. If i'm right the book should become more clear to me (I think in the PR book Paul did the same, and the pile of material has become alive for him) Is my assumption correct?


Best wishes,

More time perhaps, however study the glossary word by word in the meantime.

Are you talking about spontaneous activation? If you are, from my own personal experience, that doesn't happen too often. However, it will become easier to understand if you just PR the book and then after about 24 hours start casually reading it. In that regard, it will be a lot easier topic wise as you won't have to study until your brain starts throwing off sparks. You'll get a lot more Aha! experiences. Than again, this is all from my personal experience. Mileage may vary.

PhotoRead again. If you have a difficult or new subject the easiest way is to PhotoRead it daily. I recommend this prior to lectures or classes. That way the class or lecture becomes part of your activation.

You did nothing wrong. Experiment some more. Like you did when you were learning to tie shoe laces.
