Review # 1 was written on 2014-01-30 00:00:00 Andre Bayhansen This book was a bit repetitive and wasn't set up in an interesting way. There were some good strategies in here, but I don't feel like it was enough for this long of a book.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-08-30 00:00:00 Anthony Hayes A waste of 80% of my time and money. It's irony that the book started by explaining the 80:20 principle as illustration, because that's just exactly what the book is all about. 20% of the book already covers 80% of the idea, the rest is rather lengthy reiteration of the previous points. Don't get me wrong. Gardner does propose new ideas (to me). The 7 levers of mind change is useful and quick summary of his earlier concept of multiple intelligences is a nice bonus. But the rest is examples and stories most non-Americans probably find hard to relate to. Although I suspect it is more of the writing style (dry and academical) that might put off many (me included). Just get the summary of this book and you'll be fine. Only read it from beginning to end of you are (a) rabid fan of the author, or (b) desperately trying to impress chicks, or (c) just received a life-sentence
