Hey Alex,
You talk about frustration and how the speed reading courses cause it. But what about certain people on the forum who have been discussing their frustration with photoreading non-stop?
I haven't felt frustrated with any course except Ed Strachar's so far.
Anyway, the more important stuff I wanted to talk about:
Howard's method teaches you to skim a book so that you know whether or not to read the book. You don't have to really go with your gut, since you consciously know that what you want isn't in the book.
He also emphasizes purpose, which is mainly why you skim first. You also skim to see the layout and the "50,000 foot view" as he calls it.
Since they both worked so well, I can't decide which to use, and knowing that you're a photoreading instructor, can you help me either get back with photoreading or just to stay with speed reading?
Thanks!
