Thank you for the good responses so far. Anything worth doing in life is worth doing poorly at first. I’m a 3rd degree black belt so I know the reward of working steadily and patiently towards a goal, and then achieving it. There is a lot of garbage out there when it comes to self improvement, and the photo reading claims (~25,000 wpm) seem quite exaggerated. Granted, you have to qualify the claim by saying, “Yes, you can photo read at ~25,000 wpm, but in order to achieve comprehension you have to do a bunch of other stuff that adds quite a bit more time to the whole process.” The advertising makes it sound a whole lot simpler and easier than it really is. But if people are getting great results then it is still worth working at.
