review 1: During my teenage years, I struggled to cope up with studying challenging subjects at school, resulting on setting a fixed mindset on my incapacity of learning new challenging topics, experiences that were easily solved/achieved by the perceived talented ones in the class. It set a bad mental shackle, preventing to work on anything new.This book broke that mental shackle by pointing out the ineffectiveness of I had in my thinking in a short, concise manner with remedies by applying the 5 elements.It's never to late to learn anything, just as the book says "We all are life-long learners." This is a must read and PRACTICE book for everyone.Note: Do revise the concepts and exercises from the book time to time. It also contains a summary in the last chapter on the principles u... moresed which is helpful.
review 2: Finished reading this book recently, nothing really ground breaking but it's well put together in one single place so there is value into reading and reminding yourself of these concepts.The 5 elements from the book are:1. Understand Deeply, go for depth and make a rock solid base in anything you wanna achieve.2.

Follow the flow of ideas, essentially master the basic principles and see how one idea leads to another. To truly understand a concept, discover how it evolved from existing simpler concepts5. BE Ready to Change, master the first four elements and change the way you think and learn. Learning is a life long journey.Hope you enjoyed the quick summary, definitely give this book a chance! less
