Full disclosure: I’m not really into “self-help” type books. They usually don’t grab my attention, and I have a hard time applying the lessons learned to my real life. This book is really no exception.
For me, this book just didn’t grab and sustain my attention. I’m of the mind that if I’m not fully enjoying a book, I shouldn’t continue to read it. Unfortunately, I did not finish this book, for all these reasons.
That being said, there are several positives in this book. It appears to be well researched, and delves into how the brain works to learn and remember information. Then it applies that to mastering skills that we may want to master. I think it definitely has some nuggets of good advice. For the right person (a person looking to learn a language or acquire a skill) this book would be a fabulous start.
Right now, this book was just not for me. It may be better suited to my life in the future, but that remains to be seen.
