Sorry I dissagree - Its only very average - By: H. T. L. Boyson, 15 Feb 2005 
I quite enjoy reading the self help, improve this, motivate that type of book so I thought i'd give this one a try. I was not very impressed with this book & didnt manage reading past half way. You may think that the reason for my lack of respect for the book was because I didnt finish it, but its not.
The techniques are long winded & really quite boring. However I would recommend the book to a younger audience as now at 22 i would have found it more useful when i was at school. The techniques were interesting, logical & did suprise at the slight increasein performace, but it dragged on.
So to add another view, i found it a 'not bad' but 'not great' book.
One of the most genuinely useful books I've ever read! - By: , 01 May 2001 
This book is fantastic.
Using Lorayne's techniques I have just learned the following list of values. It took me under three minutes:
1) Greatest handicap - fear. 2) Best day - today. 3) Easiest thing to do - find fault. 4) Most useless asset - pride. 5) Greatest mistake - giving up. 6) Greatest stumbling block - egotism. 7) Greatest comfort - work well done. 8) Most disagreeable person - the complainer. 9) Worst bankrupcy - loss of enthusiasm. 10) Best teacher - one who makes you want to learn. 11) Greatest need - common sense. 12) Meanest feeling - regret at another's success. 13) Best gift - forgiveness. 14) Greatest knowledge - God. 15) Greatest thingin the world - love.
Not only that, but I can recite the list forwards, backwards. I can tell you any item by number, for example I know that the ninth item is the worst bankrupcy.
These tried & tested techniques really *work* & Lorayne shows you how to apply them to learning pretty much any subject. For example he includes how to memorize foreign language words & mathematical equations. His techniques work no matter how complicated or abstract the concepts are you're trying to learn -- & they're easy & FUN!
