It is not so much the money that worries me if it is a bit of a scam. But rather knowing what I was missing out on (the ability to extract much more information form books in a shorter period of time). That's a fantastic skill to have.
I have however seen a lot of negative feedback on photo reading on this forum and other places and I'm getting a bit worried I'm not going to get anything out of the package when it comes.
I'm a software developer who loves learning and studying so I read a lot. I'm about to go back to University to do my Master's and figured I might try and learn how to really pick up my reading for all the work I'll have to do on my thesis.
I'm fairly open minded and prepared to give it the best shot I can. I'm not going to go into it trying to prove its a scam so I can say 'I told you so' but rather the opposite. I somehow hope it works so I can gain the benefit of reading even more material.
As far as personal development goes, if this sort of thing really did/does work. You can't measure the amount of tremendous impact that would have throughout your life. Here's for hoping  |
If you believe it works, it works.
If you harbor doubts in your mind, it does not work.
Currently, I'm using photoreading to get through my mother's 1000 page human anatomy textbook. I want to show her that there are better ways to learn that clicking away at endless powerpoint slides while half asleep. Hey, I got my purpose, step 1 of photoreading!
