Summary: Many useful strategies for learning
Review: The book presents a number of useful strategies for learning. Many are not unique to this book but the authors have done a good job of pulling together a variety of material on accelerated learning. Beginning accelerated learners should consider this book and Peak Learning by Ronald Gross. I have used these techniques as a student, counselor, and a teacher to facilitate better learning experiences.

Summary: Good Resource
Review: This book is a good one for educators and students to read and share. It provides entry level methods for learning efficiently and is a good resource to other material that may further enhance the ability to learn and remember. My only complaint, though small, is the promo in the first 30-40 pages concerning today's fast pace that necessitates continuous learning. Those who buy this book are already convinced, I should think.

Summary: This should work for most people
Review: This book seems to do a good job of showing most people how more intelligent, analytical minds think. It breaks things down into very simple and easy to understand steps and I'm sure helps a lot of folks achieve more analytical thinking and quicker learning. However, if you already learn quite quickly and grasp commonly difficult or profound concepts easily, this book won't help you improve your learning ability further. I'm afraid I wasted my money on this book. I already think the way it tries to teach you to think. I don't want to sound snobby, but if you're envious of people around you who are really intelligent and you want to learn how to think a little bit more like them, then this book is for you.
But if you see yourself as just as or more intelligent than anybody else in the world and you want to further improve your abilities, save your money.

Summary: Well worth reading
Review: This is a clearly-written, easy-to-read book that is full of useful information. It provides numerous techniques that readers can apply to any learning situation. Some of it does, of necessity, review what may be old ground for some readers who have prevously encountered accelerated learning. And, of course, the authors do promote the fact that in-depth study of particular topics will require progressing to an in-depth home study course. Surprise, surprise. One would be naive to expect anything else. But nevertheless there is an immense amount of useful information throughout this entire book. It's an inexpensive investment and well worth anyone's time.
