10% good mind trick, 90% "just do it" speech
Reviewed: 05-17-17
The author is a mash up of Tony Robbins and Ellen Degeneres. Her style is very conversational, unstructured and (in her words) "super excited". Get the book if you want a "it won't be easy but push yourself anyway" motivational boost. The 5 second rule is powerful but could have been explained with examples in a 20 min podcast or video. For me the book was way too long. Her examples and occasional reference to research were oversimplified, and the outcomes were overpromised.

Not much about da Vinci
Reviewed: 05-09-06
I was very disappointed in this book. There isn't much discussion of da Vinci, his life, or his deeds. Much of the first hour of the book is spent doing memory exercises. Treat this book more like a simple mind skills workshop covering material that has been covered exhaustively elsewhere. Don't expect to get much insight into da Vinci.
