Bill Lucas - Power Up Your Mind

From AudioFile

Bill Lucas divides his compendium of tips on how to think, learn, and create better into many brief sections. He also provides reviews, acronyms, and mnemonics to help listeners remember them. All of this makes POWER UP YOUR MIND a good fit for audio. WhatÕs more, the energy in Francis GreensladeÕs voice is a good match for LucasÕs style. Greenslade sounds full of zest, much as Lucas wants oneÕs learning experiences to be. Greenslade finds the pleasure in LucasÕs lines and recounts stories and instructions with equal facility. There are, however, a few instances of odd pacing, when GreensladeÕs pauses match neither idea nor style. Aside from that, the only problem is keeping a pen handy to scribble down all the useful suggestions. G.T.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

   3.0 out of 5 stars for a more effective performance at work, Jul 25 2003 

By  "nepathaw" (Austria) - See all my reviews 


This review is from: Power Up Your Mind: Learn Faster, Work Smarter (Paperback) 

Are you leading an active working life in which information and the solving of problems play a central part? Do you often find yourself incapable of living up to your potential, that is not being able to concentrate, remember things or find creative solutions? Then you might want to consider this book.

IN-DEPTH INFORPATION ABOUT THE POSITIVE ASPECTS OF THIS BOOK.

It gives you basic information about how your brain works and how this relates to the problems you experience, giving suggestions of how to overcome them. Starting with getting ready to learn, passing reflecting on and using what you have learned it ends with how to make conscious learning a daily part of your life, including tips how to balance between work, personal life and your aspirations in general. Also, it deals with all types of learning as opposed to only memorising facts. 

The most inspiring and indeed useful bit of this book was the part about ensuring a creative, productive and enjoyable environment at work, how to make sure that everybody gets the most out of the information offered and how to overcome problem-solving barriers. Other positive things where the questions and fill-in forms designed to make you think about and apply the new information, as well as summaries at the end of each chapter to check whether the most important stuff has come across. You will also find out ways to make a company more successful in regard to making the most out of its human resources (and making them happy along the way), what learning-type you are and interesting stuff about multiple intelligence, much of it illustrated with nice example-stories and quotations.


WHY ONLY 3 STARS, THEN?

I expected to be able to use my mind and memory more effectively after working my way through this book, but it simply doesn't help you to power up your mind, with the sole exception of helping you to become more creative. You don't learn techniques of how to remember things more effectively, nor do you learn how to become mentally fit and agile. True, it gives you some information on all of that, but it's more stuff to make you think and figure out your own approach (or buy another book) rather than hands-on things.


RECOMMENDABLE - If you want to understand yourself better as a learner and learn some ways to make working more enjoyable and effective, this book provides information about nearly every step to do so and gives you a basis to build upon when and if you should come across some hands-on mind and memory training.


NOT RECOMMENDABLE - If you're looking for ways to improve your memory or even your cognitive abilities, unless you're interested in the lay aspects of those parts of the learning-theory that have something to do with business life. This is really nothing for you if you're a student and looking for ways to improve your performance in school or at college.


CONCLUSION

YES for business people, NO for students and aspiring mind-acrobats.
