There is a technique called direct learning covered in the book. You can improve your skills by photoreading "how to" books, and then follow it with a "future pace", where you vividly imagine having the skills you want and noticing how what you have read has improved your skills.

For this to work you need instructional, step by step books that your unconscious mind can process.

However I recommend that you learn to photoread using all of the steps first so that when you preview a book ripe for direct learning, you recognise it as such.
