This book was a delightful surprise after all the books I have seen and read on accelerated learning. The layout was very much in line with my own approach to learning, that is, it does all begin in the mind. What I particularly liked about this book is the fact that it was written for a variety of ages from 13 upwards and easily digestible in format. Pictures, stories, facts, exercises were all well linked to different intelligences. Having stories of people who have succeeded and the way they used their different intelligences is an excellent way to motivate people to achieving the life of their dreams. It also encourages people to realise that success is not random but by doing things in a certain way. I will certainly recommend this book to my clients as I believe this is a great compliment to the Rapid Sensory Learning and Deliberate Creation programme for studying. It allows each person to learn more about their own intelligences at their own pace as well as finding new keys and techniques that can be used over and above the sequence of Rapid Sensory Learning and Deliberate Creation.

With its upbeat, aspirational tone this learning resource could be just the thing for injecting some novelty into teaching and learning.
