At first glance, I knew PhotoReading was a gem of a study skill. I definately couldn't validate it until I tried it.
As I first encountered PhotoReading, my initial background knowledge was that there is plenty of evidence that your subconscious is very active all day. It didn't seem too outrageous that you can use it in aiding in reading.
Maybe when people first read the advertisements, they expect to read 25,000 wpm in one sitting, and that's it. I believe the "25000 wpm" was really to attract customers' attention. There's a whole system behind the technique. And when you study the study in-depth, it's convincingly realistic and consistent with modern knowledge of natural sciences.
I've changed my attitude since I started. I used to force it to work. I then used it to see IF it works. Now, I use it when I need it to work.
