REVIEW: "The development of the brain. How to read faster and remember better achieve great goals, "Roger Sipe

If you want to be the middle peasants - financial problems, ill health and lack of time, hindering enjoy life - you would not be reading this book. Roger Sipe

"Remember the information three times better! Read in two, three or even four times faster! Formulate goals so as to facilitate the way for them, and manage time to be enough for all the really important! "- such miracles sulyatsya reader in the preface to the book Roger Saipa "The development of the brain." In this case, it is recommended to read it as a textbook - with pencil in hand, faithfully performing all the exercises. How can you not buy into? I kupilas.

Expectation and Reality

Having read the annotation to the "brain development", I thought, "Wow! I love books, learning new and help to understand how the human body chief. " I thought that the Draw for a lot of scientific facts as the book Kelly McGonigal "

Strength of will"Or learn about the amazing mental traps as from this article on Layfhakere. But the book was a cocktail of fragmentary knowledge of the author in the field of psychology, physiology, time management, physics and spirituality.

If the first part of it (see "The Basics of your training") correlates more with the title and really focus on the development of mental abilities, the second, in my opinion, has nothing to do with the development of the brain and is a lengthy reflection in film style "Secret".

Development of memory and speed reading - fell short of expectations

The first six chapters of the book "The development of the brain," correspond to the name: they help to determine the availability of the personal learning, explaining why the brain is conveniently in the comfort zone, and most importantly, they are great exercises for the development of memory and speed reading.

That's just one of them.

mental folder
Imagine that your feet, calves, thighs, buttocks, abdomen, ribs, collarbone, mouth, nose and forehead - this is the folder in which you can "paste" any information. "Clay" at the same time will serve as the most vivid and extraordinary visual images. An important point: you should always start with the same folder (from the feet to the forehead) and to always act in the same manner. For example, you need to memorize the following shopping list: bread, milk, buckwheat, green tea, fruit. To "stick" each of these products in the correct folder, you must draw a more ridiculous way possible. Imagine that on your feet, like shoes, put on two loaves of bread; of abrasions on the shin instead of blood oozing milk; and on the hips instead of hair growing buckwheat. The clearer you draw it in your head and the "insane" are images, the easier it will be to reproduce the list of purchases in the store, looking around himself with a stop to his forehead.

The first part of the book is actually being read with a pencil in his hand: the publication is designed so that the exercises can be performed directly on its pages. Conveniently. And useful. Many techniques for the development of memory (such as, for example, the exercise given above) and fast reading skills I had adopted.

Components life records - disappointing reality

The second part of the book, alas, can not be considered as practical. It's called "The components of the record of your life." The first few chapters are taught to set goals. In this case, I personally, the person reading (and writing) a lot of material on the productivity, is nothing new for myself did not recognize. Yes, you need to put no more than 5–7 tasks, since the brain is no longer perceived. Yes, we need to articulate them and write on a sheet. Yes, it is necessary to approach consciously to achieve their goals. All of this - long-known truth.

The next few chapters are devoted to time management. In my opinion, they are the most useful of all section. "The decision of the two hours," suggested Roger Sipe, perhaps not too original, but clearly demonstrated.

The final chapters - reflections on positive thinking, the power of thought, energy, and so on.. etc. I can not say that was written some nonsense - though judgment and philosophical, but true. But, in my opinion, this is a topic for another book with a different name. (Who are interested in similar topics, I recommend reading "the energy of life"Brendon Burchard.)

Summary

From what Roger Sipe departed from the concepts laid down at the beginning of the book (brain development), and rolled to a typical performance coach for personal effectiveness, it left an unpleasant aftertaste. Wonders that sulilis at first, did not happen.

My personal assessment of the book - 5 of 10. Five of the first part of (it lived up to my expectations) and -5 per second (complete disappointment).
