The subconscious mind doesn't know the difference between a penny and a million dollars. It does not know the difference between success and failure, and it'll work just as hard to make a failure out of you as it will to make a success out of you if you don't condition your mind to keep the subconscious mind working with and for the things you want and away from the things you don't want.

Thinking about Thinking
The authors of "The 5 Elements of Effective Thinking", Edward Burger and Michael Starbird, are PhDs in Mathematics. They've taken an analytical approach to thinking and problem solving, analogizing the 'classical elements' of fire, earth, air, water, and adding a fifth: change. It's a clinical, almost elegant solution to the problem of people who think linearly but need to be imaginative and creative.
About half an hour into the book,I found a solution to a small but annoying problem that has been vexing me for two years. I'm not quite sure what suggestion worked, but work it did. I also really liked the idea that when stuck on a problem, throw a bunch of solutions at it and edit away the bad ones until you get one that works.
Do all of 'The 5 Elements' work for everyone, every time? Nope. The first year law student who asks endless "What if?" questions is likely to find himself with his mouth duck taped shut, locked in the handicapped stall of the men's room, handcuffed to the toilet paper dispenser.
Brian Troxell's deep, confident and persuasive voice reminded me of John Cunningham's 'Be a Man' audio from the 1997 movie "In & Out."

Thinking that could leads to change
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, reflecting on how to become better at what I do. I read about mindfulness, enjoy learning about brain based research on cognition, and I like thinking about issues like free will, systems of approach and activation, social constructs, and all that sort of good stuff where we have to figure out how to fit in and move about as we relate to others and to the self. So I do a lot of thinking on these topics, but what actions have I taken to become better at what I do? The Five Elements of Effective Thinking is a short, well read, well thought out book. It provides practical advice that you can use to help activate new ways of thinking that could shift your perspective, which in turn could produce more favorable outcomes for you. That’s the key here- change starts with a shift in perspective.

Should be Prerequisite for College!!!
What did you love best about The Five Elements of Effective Thinking?
I wish I had read this book before undergrad and graduate school! It would have helped me understand my professors so much better! This was an excellent book with it's concepts directly affecting my thought process and my teaching and learning strategies. Most are things that should be common sense but we don't realize them. If you know someone going to college, GET THEM THIS BOOK!!!!! If you are a working professional outside of schooling like me, however, you will still find this book compelling. It has helped me in my creative thought process. I am a public speaker and content creator, in addition to my day job as a fitness professional, and it has helped me immensely with my lecture creation, exercise program design, and even my teaching strategies.
Any additional comments?
One of the best thought provoking books I have read. If you can take a step back and swallow your pride for a bit, this book will open your mind to new horizons.

Maybe for grade school children?
From the title, I downloaded this book expecting something more philosophic, instead what I found was something more akin to a how-to manual for poor students wanting better grades. The lessons were very basic and obvious. The analogies and examples were trite. It was wordy, as if the authors were trying to stretch what little they had in order to reach some minimum word count.
In the end, I had to wonder who exactly they were trying to reach with this book. I mean the poor students who would benefit most from this book would be the least likely to search for it, download it, and listen to it (3 times if you followed the instructions of the authors). I did not finish this book.

Good summary of key approaches to mastering skillsets and knowledge
The five elements serve as good visual aids to remember key concepts. Earth - get your base by learning basic knowledge deeply. Fire - allow yourself to make mistakes and learn from them. Air - ask questions and be your own Socrates, even when you think you know constantly “doubt” and reassess what you know. Water - follow the flow or build a tower by incremental blocks. And last, but very crucial, apply. Execute. Just do it. And repeat.

Nice book to listen to
Overall if you are a self improvement junkie, there isn't a great deal of new material and a lot of familiar examples. Despite this I really enjoyed the book, the book is broken down into five main "elements" and the authors argue convincingly for each element.
I found the book very affirming, encouraging and uplifting. It was a new take on the subject.
I would recommend it.

Hardworking studious people would enjoy this
The speaker's voice is fine. The amount of blah blah waffle waffle waffle moments in this book are 95%. The 5% of simply explained points are nice to hear but not anything i feel is brand new to me. If you do alot of work etc. writing, difficult work every week, this may help you out a tiny bit.
Quite a nerdy book in my opinion.

Any additional comments?
Disappointed! I've read a lot of mindset books/self help, and via the reviews was looking forward to this. I only managed an hour - even my 10yr old daughter said "What is that?!" I had to agree! The American narrator does not help - speaking quickly and a dull tone, but the messages are very hazy - I don't mind I pickup just one thing from a book, an hour in and nothing - it's going back

A concise 'how to' explanation - brilliant!!!!
I love the structure of the book. It is straight forward and each chapter is introduced. There is no filler information. It provides a detailed overview of the skills. The narrator is great - clear, lovely tone and well paced. The whole book is articulated well. Perfect for novices and for those that are familiar with rhe content but need a quick refresher. This is a keeper!

Not my cup of narrative tea
I find the topic very interesting, however the way it was narrated makes it hard for me to like it! The way the narrator reads it makes it somewhat hard to follow when he goes from 3 back to 1, to 2, 3 and 4, and back to 1!
Also... if I hear "A way to provoke effective thinking" one more time I'll go up a damn wall!
Maybe this book would be better suited to actually reading rather than listening.
Don't think I can stomach to listen 2 more times as the authors suggested...

Contains does not match the title
It's all preaching and has nothing to do with the title. I have never read such a bad book. After listening to it for an hour and a half, I really can't listen to it anymore.
