I decided that 2014 is the year when I am going to stop wondering why people who seem less driven and intelligent than me, are actually getting better results! This book helped me to see how these people are using simple methods and tools to harness their brainpower...and they're more successful than I am as a result. But not anymore! I am going to work smarter, not harder, using my brain as an ally to achieve what I want.Delving into the strategies and exercises that Ammon-Wexler proposes in the book, I have a new outlook on how to achieve my goals. She even cites online resources, which are helpful. I like that she provides practical reminders to power your brain efficiently by eating right, etc. I think that science has still not isolated how crucial this is. When I'm eating well and hydrating, I truly feel that I function at a MUCH higher level.This book is the perfect length. Because I'm so busy at work, anything longer simply would have fallen by the wayside. The author gives insight on why it's important to immediately take the small actions that will lead us closer to our goals, rewiring our minds in the process. I really do feel pumped up after reading this piece, and I plan on activating the first goal I've set...now!
