Are You Drowning in Information?

We have access to more knowledge than any previous generation—yet many of us feel overwhelmed rather than empowered. There is always another book to read, another report to study and another idea competing for our attention.

• Books you bought but have never finished
• Reports, articles or course materials waiting to be read
• Important information that seems difficult to remember
• A subject you want to master without spending months studying it
• More information arriving than you can possibly process

Introducing the Photographic Reading Course

This is not simply another conventional speed-reading course. It is a practical system for approaching books and information with greater speed, purpose, comprehension and mental flexibility.

The programme is the result of more than ten years of research, study and practical teaching. It brings together valuable principles, techniques and exercises from six important approaches to reading, accelerated learning and information mastery.

Six Powerful Streams—One Integrated Course

Each system contributes something different. This course brings their most useful ideas together within one structured learning experience.

What Could Change If You Read Differently?

Imagine approaching a book without feeling that you must laboriously read every word from beginning to end.

• Survey a book rapidly and recognise its structure
• Identify information relevant to your purpose
• Increase your present reading speed
• Move through books, reports and articles more efficiently
• Improve concentration, comprehension and recall
• Find answers without reading every page conventionally
• Work intelligently with several books on one subject
• Activate information after rapidly processing a book
• Develop observation, visualisation and mental-imaging skills
• Approach information overload with greater confidence and control

Why Ordinary Reading Is Not Enough

Most of us were taught only one way to read: begin with the first word, continue line by line and finish with the last word. That method remains useful—but it is not the only way the mind can engage with written information.

More Than Speed Reading

Conventional speed reading generally trains the eyes to move faster and the conscious mind to process larger groups of words. Photographic Reading explores how relaxation, purpose, previewing, whole-page exposure, mental imagery and activation can work together as part of a complete reading process.

From Information Overload to Information Mastery

Michael J. McCarthy’s Mastering the Information Age captures the challenge with exceptional clarity. Its central message is that we must learn to control information rather than allow information to control us.

The Information-Mastery Goals

• Get control of information overload
• Learn to read faster and move through books, reports and memos
• Find the information you need quickly
• Remember more facts and data
• Think more sharply
• Present information effectively to others
• Develop more fully your capacity to learn

These goals lie at the heart of this Photographic Reading course. The aim is not merely speed. It is purposeful access, understanding, recall and application.

Who Is This Course For?

The programme may be especially valuable for:

• Busy professionals facing large amounts of information
• Teachers, trainers and consultants
• Researchers and postgraduate students
• University and college students
• Business owners and managers
• Writers, speakers and content creators
• Lifelong learners with unread books waiting for them
