Hello
i want to use photoreading for a physics book.I tried it but i really understand nothing.I aktivate something but it makes no sense for me.
Can i not use photoreading for non-fiction books , because you have to understand every detail?
Or what i have to do?
I hope you can help me.
Have a great day

Kobold; here are the things you have to do.

1. Establish your purpose for the physics book.

2. Go thru the book and write down your trigger words from the book.

3. Ask yourself questions about the trigger words and write down the questions for the trigger words.

4. Superread and dip to find the answers to the questions you asked about the trigger words.

5. Make a mindmap for the physics book.

Here are some friends to take along with you as you go thru the book; WHAT,WHERE,WHY,WHICH,WHEN,HOW,WHO.

Treat each chapter as a book itself and remember textbooks will take longer to activate than regular books.

If you're still learning to photoread pick a subject other than physics. The variables in that subject alone are complicated enough and if you haven't got a hang of photoreading you've chosen a subject that will keep you on edge when it comes to activation.

First books should be non fiction books of a subject that interest you that you may already know something about. Self help, how to and management type skills books are a good place to start.

Also consider your purpose. Ehen you say "because you have to understand every detail" it becomes apparent you haven't really considered your own purpose for activating those books.

Try another subject first. non fiction

Do the five day test and see. One book is good, 2 is better, 3 or more is best.
