Brain development roger skype audiobook. Review: “brain development. How to Read Faster, Remember Better, and Achieve Bigger Goals, Roger Sipe. Memory development: memorization lessons

If you wanted to be an average person - with financial problems, ailments and lack of time that prevent you from enjoying life - you would not read this book. Roger Sipe

“Memorize information three times better! Read two, three or even four times faster! Formulate goals in a way that makes it easier to achieve them, and manage time so that it is enough for everything that is really important! - such miracles are promised to the reader in the preface to Roger Sipe's book "Brain Development". At the same time, it is recommended to read it as tutorial- with a pencil in hand, conscientiously performing all the exercises. How not to buy here? I bought.

Expectation and reality

After reading the annotation for Brain Development, I thought, “Great! I love books that teach new things and help to understand how the main human organ works. I thought I'd get a lot for myself scientific facts, like from Kelly McGonigal's book "", or learn about amazing mental traps, like on Lifehacker. But the book turned out to be a cocktail of fragmentary knowledge of the author in the field of psychology, physiology, time management, physics and esotericism.

If the first part of it (the section “Basics of your learning”) still corresponds to the title and is really aimed at developing mental abilities, then the second, in my opinion, has nothing to do with the development of the brain and is a lengthy reflection in the style of the movie "The Secret".

The development of memory and speed reading - justified expectations

The first six chapters of Brain Development live up to the title: they help you determine your personal learning readiness quotient, tell you why your brain is comfortable in its comfort zone, and most importantly, they provide cool exercises to improve memory and speed reading.

Here is just one of them.

mental folders
Imagine that your feet, shins, thighs, buttocks, stomach, ribs, collarbone, mouth, nose and forehead are folders in which you can paste any information. In this case, the brightest and most incredible visual images will serve as “glue”. An important point: you should always start with the same folder (from the foot to the forehead) and always proceed in the same order. For example, you need to remember the following shopping list: bread, milk, buckwheat, green tea, fruits. In order to "stick" each of these products into the correct folder, you must draw as ridiculous images as possible. Imagine that on your feet, like shoes, two loaves of bread are put on; instead of blood, milk oozes from an abrasion on the lower leg; and buckwheat grows instead of hair on the hips. The more visually you draw this in your head and the “crazier” the images are, the easier it will be for you to reproduce the shopping list in the store, looking at yourself from feet to forehead.

The first part of the book is really readable with a pencil in hand: the edition is designed in such a way that the exercises can be performed directly on its pages. Conveniently. And useful. I have adopted many methods for developing memory (as, for example, the exercise above) and speed reading skills.

Components of Life Records - A Disappointing Reality

The second part of the book, alas, cannot be called as practical. It's called The Components of Records in Your Life. The first few chapters teach you how to set goals. At the same time, I personally, a person who reads (and writes) a lot of materials about productivity, did not learn anything new for myself. Yes, you need to set no more than 5–7 tasks, since the brain no longer perceives. Yes, you need to clearly formulate them and write them down on a piece of paper. Yes, you need to be mindful of your goals. All these are well-known truths.

The next few chapters are about time management. In my opinion, they are the most useful of the entire section. Roger Sipe's "Two Hours Solution" may not be original either, but it is clearly demonstrated.

The final chapters are the author's reflections on positive thinking, the power of thought, energy, etc., etc. I can't say that some kind of stupidity has been written - the judgments, although philosophical, are true. But, in my opinion, this is a topic for another book with a different title. (For those who are interested in this topic, I recommend reading "" by Brandon Burchard.)

Summary

The fact that Roger Sipe moved away from the concept laid down at the beginning of the book (brain development) and slipped into a typical personal performance coach performance left an unpleasant aftertaste. The miracles that were promised at the beginning did not happen.

My personal rating for this book is 5 out of 10. Five for the first part (it met my expectations) and -5 for the second (total disappointment).

Foreword

People do not reach their full potential.

Almost everyone (and certainly those who are interested in this book) want to significantly improve their results: grow, succeed and influence the world. But b about most of their God-given potential remains untapped.

In an effort to grow and develop as a person, most make two unfortunate mistakes. First, they are looking for answers not in themselves, but outside. They are sure that someone has already created a miracle cure, you just need to find it - and everything in their life will change.

Of course, no one admits that they are looking for a magical remedy. But deep down, most really hope that one day it will appear.

Having finally come to terms with the fact that there is no such remedy, people make the second mistake: they overly complicate the process of growth. All but a few wise men, in zealous pursuit of the task and in an attempt to shoulder personal responsibility, overcomplicate those simple steps by which an enormous achievement is achieved. personal growth.

There are no miracle cures in this magnificent book. It is simple without oversimplification. You will find in it basic skills and hard truths that have existed for thousands of years, but are still missing in the lives of most people. They are fun to learn, fun to learn, and amazingly easy to use.

I have known Roger Sipe for over twenty years, and I work and travel with him. I see how he does what is taught in this book. Roger proves in his life that by understanding and applying the basic principles outlined here, you win.

And although there are no magic remedies, the results seem miraculously. Remember information three times better! Read two, three or even four times faster! Formulate goals in a way that makes it easier to achieve them, and manage your time so that it is enough for everything that really matters!

Does it really look like it's impossible?

This impression is deceptive. Only the basics are given here, which anyone who seriously approaches the study of this book will master. And this is just the beginning!

The principles and statements outlined here really work. They have proven effective for thousands of people just like you. You need to have the courage to believe that you, too, can create something extraordinary, that you have the ability to absorb this ingeniously simple information and the responsibility to apply it. Be free!

Introduction

How to beat records

First in his adulthood I heard a motivational speaker at the age of 19 in May 1989 in Nashville, at the end of a sales training session given by the Southwestern Company. The speaker's name was Mort Utley, and he made one of the most chilling statements I've ever made.

"Most people don't get what they want out of life."

“Well, sadness,” I thought. Mort gets paid a lot of money to motivate people, and he goes on stage and claims that most people don't get what they want out of life. In my 19-year-old brain flashed: “Thanks for the advice, Mort. And now you will probably declare that in France they speak French. Most don't get what they want out of life, right? Why do you think I'm listening to you at all?"

I didn't want to be in that majority, and you probably don't either. If you wanted to be an average person - with financial problems, ailments and lack of time that prevent you from enjoying life - you would not read this book. However, you need to understand that there are many unconscious patterns of thinking and behavior in your brain that interfere with you. Here is one of them.

You have a strong drive to be mediocre.

Beginning with lower grades, due to the learning system and the inherent desire for safety in our brain, we have a strong unconscious desire to be like everyone else. We want to blend in with the crowd, become mediocre.

Why am I starting with this? Mainly because if you are serious about living the life you really want, you first need to understand that even in the most prosperous and technologically advanced society in human history being mediocre sucks!

But like I said, you don't want to be average. Congratulations! By reading this book, you are already showing that mediocrity is not for you. Do you want to break records! In my book, you will learn the basic principles that have been proven effective over the centuries in helping people and companies achieve continuous growth in all areas: professional, financial, physical, emotional, spiritual, as well as in all types of relationships. Success has a beautiful feature: it is easy to achieve. Not easy, but simple. Learn the basics, apply them diligently, and you will definitely achieve what you want.

Now reread it and imagine that the wish has already come true. Imagine that you have earned the right amount, received a promotion, got rid of an extra 9 kg, or met your ideal.

How are you feeling? It's great, right? I think this is a good start. The book will explain to you how to take the seed of an idea and sprout it so that it brings not just a fleeting feeling of joy, but fruits in the form of real result and effective, joyful and enthusiastic.

Let's start with three features of thinking that affect success. By understanding these ideas and applying them, you will automatically start moving towards your goals. The better you understand them, the faster and easier you will achieve your goals.

The first feature of thinking: success gives clues

This means that the achievement of goals does not depend on magic, luck or circumstances, but on your way of thinking and action. Reread the goal you wrote down. Has anyone already managed to achieve results that you want to repeat or surpass? It is difficult to find a person who will answer "no". Whatever you want to achieve, someone has already succeeded, and this is great news for you. Whoever achieves the desired result, you can be sure: he did it not because he was better or luckier than you in some way, but because of a certain way of thinking and certain actions. If you develop these same thought patterns and habits, you are almost guaranteed similar results. Success gives clues. Therefore, whatever your starting positions, you are able to reach the finish line. At the same time, in order to get to the finish line the fastest, it is best to find the one who did it and imitate his actions.

I found a great example of this idea in an interview with a very successful professional fisherman who specialized in bass fishing. He won tournaments more than once, no matter how bad the bite was: he always caught fish, even when others failed. The reporter asked him, “How do you do it? What is the secret of your success?" The fisherman's answer confirms that success provides clues.

Fisherman:“Most people think that perch fishing is all about luck. Like, if you are in the right place in right time with the right bait, you will catch a fish, and if you are not lucky, you will leave empty-handed. But I learned that the bite of a perch can actually be predicted scientifically. If you take a specific body of water, then by the season and weather you can roughly determine where the fish will be. Then it's easier to decide which ways to feed the bait will work, and I find the fish and experiment with spinners and ways to feed until I find an effective one. It's simple. Sometimes easier, sometimes harder, but a systematic approach always works best.”

We all want to succeed, set records and influence the world, but not all of us reach our full potential. In an effort to grow and develop as a person, we look outside ourselves for answers - secret formulas, miracle cures that promise to give us instant results. But most often the answer is in ourselves - we do not know how to effectively use the capabilities of our brain.

In this book by Roger Sipe, self-improvement coach and consultant, you'll find proven methods for accelerating learning, continuous improvement, and achieving record-breaking performance. They are fun to learn and easy to use. And although there are no magical remedies in this book, the results will seem like a real miracle to you:

remember information three times better;
read two, three or even four times faster;
formulate energizing goals and achieve them;
be aware of and overcome mental barriers;
manage time so that it is enough for everything really important;
manage your energy throughout the day;
and understand your main purpose in life.

This book will replace several publications on the development of memory, intelligence, speed reading and energy management. Read it with a pencil in your hand, write down your thoughts and do all the exercises suggested by the author, and you will raise your results to a new level.

Who is this book for?

For anyone who wants to learn how to actively use their brain and break records in all areas of their lives.
