<p align="left">If you know me you definitely know that I love to learn and learning new ways to learn faster, better or differently are always at the top of my list. There is always a better way and this book outlines and details a number of different methods you can use to imrpove your memory, memorizing up to 10,000+ items correctly, communicate your ideas faster and better, keep track of your thoughts on paper (or electronically) faster than you thought was possible. If you thought you couldn&#8217;t type any faster, you would be surprised to learn about some methods of getting your thoughts down even faster.</p>
<p align="left">Overall It is my opinion that this book should be taught as a class 3 times. Once in grade school, again in high school and as a prerequisite for college with an advanced course after that. There is simple too much here to not look at it. I am already using some of what I have learned and plan on using more.</p>
