"How to have a beautiful mind was a very interesting book to read. It included many interesting concepts about thinking. I learned a great deal from this book however I've found it is difficult to read right through as so much information required time to absorb. My suggestion is to read a section of it at a time, go away to practice it and I come back and read another section. This book would make an ideal reference to keep to refer to time after time. Enjoy!"

    " Very practical easy to follow book on being a likeable effective communicator. Although I found the title misleading I thought it be more then just being a effective communicator. The book is very similar to "How to Win Friends & Influence people" but not as useful. "

    " The title says it all. It's good, but I approached the book in the wrong way (I read it like a novel), and that's not how it's supposed to be read, since not all of the chapters were relevant to me. A tip: Get a highlighter and as you go, highlight the parts which you think you could improve your mind with. That way, you'll be more focused on what you need to do. You may find it a little bit boring sometimes (As I did, hence why it took 5 months to finish reading) because you're very likely to have a beautiful mind already =) Some of the things De Bono mentions were quite obvious, so if you find it boring, just skip that chapter and move on to something more relevant to you.
