 What a lovely book June 30, 2008
Paul Mesaglio (Sydney, Australia)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
What a lovely book John Medina has created. His book is thoughtful and funny. The book provides a springboard into a much larger universe relating to the workings of the human mind and how observations on those workings can be used to perhaps benefit the business world. Notably, Medina never overstates his claims. He simply suggests a business application which relates to the "brain-rule" extracted from an examination of a deeper world of research and experience.
Although Medina provides sufficient clues in his book to hint at his own depth, he limits himself to a gentle, lay-person's introduction, while still providing something with bite!
The use of multiple presentation formats and media (book, internet and dvd) is a beautiful example of where the author reinforces his own words by "living" the advice he offers to others. I'm sure that if Medina had the option of including smell, touch and taste as well, he would have.
A very pleasant, very educational, very thought-provoking read. Highly recommended.

Outstanding!!! June 10, 2008

I loved this book. I enjoyed the logical breakdown of topics, the video reinforcement of the information and the conversational feel of the book. This book does a great job of bringing you to the edge of what we know about the brain. Read it!!!
 Nice evening read June 5, 2008

Interesting read with some information being new, some mainstream. I do not think I would buy again, but I would check it out from the library.
How function corectly (brain-wise) May 30, 2008

This book is for the people that want to know why some things are working well and others are not, when it comes to brain, learning and every day intellectual life. The style is serious and funny in the same time. And very easy to use: you can actually learn this book or use it as a guide.
