PhotoReading



Hi Vitor,

Thanks to answering my question. I need information like this to convince my
boss to pay for the photoreading course...

What I'd like to now specifically about Quantum reading, is what results this
capacity will help to deliver:
- is it focussed to the contents of a book, or towards the structure?
- can you use Photo-reading to learn things you can use actively afterwards
(e.g. suppose a want to learn some java-programming?)
- can you use it for "Delta-reading" (scanning a book for the difference with
another book on the same topic, e.g. to compare to introductory NLP books?)
- can you reproduce the contents of the book (for a multiple choice exam, for
other questions?)
- how about "reading between the lines": finding the things the author didn't
litterally write, but that must be there for his story (presuppositions, ...)
- can you use it to find a common "deep structure" of a domain you know nothing
about, by photoreading some books out of that domain
_ what is the relation between photoreading and NLP, since I noticed that Paul
Hobbs teaches photoreading in 3 days to NLP-ers?
- For me, in my learning strategy, reading a book is the first step: to gain
knowledge.  After that, I have to spend some time experimenting, connecting to
my own experience, observing others... Any idea how photoreading fits into
this?

Happy with all answers I can get...
