Easy to understand and all the chapters and elements followed on nicely

The struggling maths girl

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, this is a book that I like to listen to over and over again

Hiten Shah recommends this book for a reason!

Fabulous book. The lessons in the book are timeless. There are few clearer instructions on how to improve your thinking. 10x more actionable than Thinking Fast and Slow.

Great Read

I loved the tips and presentation of ideas, however twenty words is too much. lol

very logical

I like the information but the delivery and narration was dry. the book should teach by asking more questions and explain with longer, more memorable stories.

Great Book

I really enjoyed the title. I believe it would be a help to a lot of different kinds of people: students, teachers, perfectionists, and more.

Great and challenging book.

I really appreciated how the author takes off so many layer of expectations. Ultimately revealing, to ourselves, we are not subject matter experts as social pressures encourage us to be. We are not until we go through a more profound learning process outlined in this book.

Powerful tools to learn

Should be mandatory reading for all. The info is great and I wish schools focused more on working on how to learn vs just learning info.

Great Book!

I enjoyed this book! I wish I was younger because the information is right on. I’ll be sharing these steps with my kids! Thank you!

Interesting but it could have been shorter

Any additional comments?

It is an intelligent book and it gives a valuable method to help you learn to think more critically and effectively (of course!). Only one personal setback for me: it uses the word "success" a bit too much and that makes sound a bit like those psychobabble self-help books which it definitely is not.

Educational!

I love how they simplified everything. These methods help to reduce the fear of failure, which is the true obstacle.
