| I'm using a version of this book which has a different cover to the one advertised, so hopefully this means that there is a new version of this book, which has fixed all the errors mentioned in other reviews. But, while this book is good for practicing higher level questions, many of the solutions are at best dubious, or at worst blatantly wrong/contradictory - which make it very confusing to use. I've used other similar publications and not been aware of such poor accuracy. Not to be recommended. |

| When I finished this book ( with great difficulty ) I asked myself the question. Has this book one original idea ?, I came to the conclusion the answer was no.It's guilty of false advertising, it won't change your mind or life.
Despite claims to the contrary, the books message boils down to one simple point. "Positive things happen to positive people". Seligman realises nobody in their right mind would buy this obvious bit of homespun wisdom. So he dresses it up by trying to add some academic ... Read More: |

| "Consciousness Explained" is the best place to start if you want to begin the venture into this perplexing area. Dennett's books is well organized, well thought out, and does a wonderful job of explaining difficult concepts in a way that is interesting and relatively easy to understand.
Another reviewer titles his review "Consciousness Denied." That is a fair comment. Many people think that Dennett explains away consciousness, rather than explaining it. In fact, I agree with that critism myself - ... Read More: |

| I couldn't do languages at school, wasn't bad at other things, but with languages I always had a kind of block in the brain. But having a partner and his family who spoke French made me try to learn as an adult, and this has truly helped me. I'm not going to tell you that I'm suddenly fluent, but listening to this CD made me realise that I could do it. I learnt the whole CD after several listenings and felt a real achivement, and it spurred me on to learn more (I went onto Michel Thomas who is great). I'm actually ... Read More: |

Short is good, and this book is very short. In fact it would have been better as a leaflet/ booklet. But who would spend £8 on a leaflet? You could stand in a bookstore and read the short simple chapter about "Mind Maps" in this book and save yourself the purchase price; honestly this book could well have been a small and effective booklet. The subject of the book is worthy of learning and usage as i found the technique to be effective. Mind mapping offers a very easy technique that requires little more than color ... Read More: |

| Even though it is old, it still holds all its qualities intact. To me it is the bible of everything that begins with "meta". It hovers elegantly around so many subjects and still ties them together into self-reference and I doubt anyone can help but be charmed. The challenges are put forward in such a playful manner that only the crankiest stick in the stickiest mud could not help but swaying their way. But be warned - it does take an effort - and all other books will feel both easy, shallow and... well... literally light by comparison. |

| A really good book, with user-friendly chapters making it ideal for use in academic research. However, once I started to read it I couldn't put it down it makes a fascinating read, and helped me to understand children's minds. |

| 19.A Technique for Producing Ideas (McGraw-Hill Advertising Classic) by: James Young March 01, 2003 |

 |
List Price: £4.99 Healthy Living Books Price: £3.24 You Save: £1.75 (35%)Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.40 |
| A short book like this deserves a short review. This book is less about technique and more about procedure. Young's most important point is that new ideas come about through making connections with other disparate ones. Apart from that the book reads more like an ad man's notebook and is very dated. Historically interesting but of limited use. |

| I found that the definition was Ok, and then really from then on it was rather weak. i was found wanting of more. To techniques it taught to calm yourselve whilst in anger did not seem to work and quite hard to put into practice. this book is OK to view a small amount of theory, although i would not recommend it. Some sections were missing i suspect.
A friend of mine recommended to the author Potter- Efron, who is a strong specialist in the subject matter. i enjoyed this read as it was concise, well verse and logical. |
