The following are examples of people who have learned and applied PhotoReading:

PhotoReading for business ...

She said she developed such an increased understanding of the industry through PhotoReading that it dramatically improved her productivity.

A businessman was asked to speak at a conference. He was unable to prepare for the presentation in the traditional sense of reading books, taking notes, and writing his speech. He was only able to PhotoRead several books, so he figured he could wing it. To his surprise his presentation flowed with ease. He even presented statistics which just popped into his head, apparently provided by his non-conscious mind. He received excellent feedback from his audience and later verified every fact with the books.

An electrical engineer at a large power generating utility found himself leading a group discussion on a topic of which he had almost no experience. He was baffled by his obvious expertise.

Sure enough, the most recent journal contained an in-depth analysis of the meeting's topic.

A bookkeeper said her ability to manipulate data in spreadsheets increased significantly. She found it easier to remember the programming commands and to detect errors.

An attorney found himself challenging an expert witness during cross-examination without a clear sense of why he was asking the questions. It became obvious as the expert witness' testimony unravelled - the attorney had PhotoRead books the evening before, which contained facts contradicting those of the witness. At a conscious level, the attorney did not know the facts. From a non-conscious level, his mind had given him the guidance necessary to achieve his goal.

A university professor PhotoRead her office library. One day, when preparing a major paper, her mind spontaneously activated information she needed. She was sitting in her office chair facing her bookshelf as she closed her eyes. On the backs of her eyelids, she spontaneously imagined that six of the books had red dots on them and were connected by red lines. She quickly opened her eyes, looked at the books she had imagined, and pulled them from the shelves. As she spread them out, she realised her mind had connected the ideal resource information for her paper. Never before had she thought of those six books as having any correlation.

A computer consultant solved a client's problem by mistakenly taking the wrong book as he dashed out of his office to a client's site. While waiting for the client, he opened the book to a seemingly random page, but one that held the solution to the problem. "I had PhotoRead this book a month earlier for no reason. It was like my subconscious had grabbed this book deliberately as I rushed out of the office."

PhotoReading for education ...

A student learned PhotoReading even though he doubted it would work for him. He repeated "Notice It, Own It, Play with It, and Stay with it" in his mind. Two weeks before a major exam he realised that he had more reading than time. "I simply could not read all this information by using my regular way of reading, and I saw in this a great opportunity to use the PhotoReading whole mind system Very often I was tempted to go back to my old ways, but I knew that I did not have the time or freedom to do so." He received an A on the exam, and the teacher wrote these comments: "Great job, very insightful, excellent."

A law student gave the PhotoReading whole mind system the ultimate test. During the first semester she PhotoRead all her assigned readings and used the system as recommended to activate whenever time permitted. She always kept on top of her studies, contributed in class, maintained a relaxed and confident attitude, and achieved top grades on four-hour essay exams which she completed in just two hours. During the second semester, she went back to her old reading and study methods to find out what difference PhotoReading made. After just two weeks she called off the experiment declaring that her old study skills created more work, misery, and feelings of being overwhelmed.
