Review:If you've been reading memory palace techniques but stop short of trying it out, this is the book to get you started.
It got me building my own palace and I'm using it right now. With all skills, it takes practice and it does feel clumsy at first to map things into the palace. I'm still getting the hang of it.
A couple of possible Improvements will make it 5 stars for me
1) Some of the examples are too americanized and hard to imagine. Localizing it or using more global/famous e... Read more
Review:These are tiny, adorable little books with some really great tips. Some of the information/advice is dated but that's okay. I ordered the Don't For Wives as well. I think it is good to get back to the basics and I think that is what this book reminds us to do. Read more
Review:This is an outstanding book for validating introverts. I've searched for years looking for answers concerning issues I've had. This book wraps things up in a very nice package for explaining how and why. I am disappointed at the title as many others seem to be in these reviews. In other words - Where's the advantage? I understand why I do things now and I can work better with my extrovert co-workers, and understand they're side. Before it seemed more of a shot from the hip and no thought ot... Read more
Review:We all have challenges dealing with boundaries, and often have boundaries that are excellent in some areas, weak in others.

I only had a few ... Read more

Review:I learned about this book after watching Meg Jay's 10 minute TED talk, i wasn't convinced then but i was curious and wanted to hear her out on the topic. Reading this book at twenty six was a huge wake up call. Even with the reference to some pretty technical psychology and medical references-- which I thought would bore me at first-- I was hooked. Meg Jay thoroughly elaborates on her thesis in each chapter regarding career, love, and even aging using relatable examples, bringing up real fears a... Read more
