Power Up Your Mind

By: Bill Lucas

Narrated by: Francis Greenslade

Much work-based training is a waste of time and money because the majority of people are neither emotionally ready nor practically inclined to apply their learning to the way they behave. Power Up Your Mind offers a new model of learning which will revolutionise the way you learn and perform.

Bill Lucas - an internationally popular speaker, facilitator, strategist, and consultant and the author and co-author of more than 20 books - shows that while we have learned more about how the brain works in the last decade than we have ever known, only a fraction of this is grasped and applied by most people. Power Up Your Mind applies this practical knowledge for the first time and shows you how to learn. Drawing on research from a wide variety of subject areas, from neuroscience to psychology, from motivation theory to accelerated learning, from memory to diet, this book shows how everyone has the capacity to succeed and how most people use only a very small portion of their talents.

Critic reviews

"An excellent book about learning." (Dr Peter Honey)

“At last – a powerful and practical new book for learners who want to become leaders.” (Mike Liebling, Director of Trainset)

"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. What's more, the energy in Francis Greenslade's voice is a good match for Lucas's style. Greenslade sounds full of zest, much as Lucas wants one's learning experiences to be. Greenslade finds the pleasure in Lucas's lines and recounts stories and instructions with equal facility. There are, however, a few instances of odd pacing, when Greenslade's pauses match neither idea nor style. Aside from that, the only problem is keeping a pen handy to scribble down all the useful suggestions." (AudioFile Magazine)

well worth a listen

To start with I thought this was a little basic, but hang on in there. This is a really comprehensive book on how to improve learning coverring hydration, nutrition, learning styles, environment,learning cycle, intelligences etc etc.
Like all books I like to come away with some key learnings/ideas - this delivers.

Interesting
