The Intellectual Toolkit of Geniuses: 40 Principles that Will Make You Smarter and Teach You to Think Like a Genius (The Intellectual Toolkit: Genius, Memory Hacks, & Cognitive Mastery Guides)

Made me think. A series of statements that caused me to stop and think. this book is worth reading. Get it.

The book makes good points, I will have to read it again though to remember it better. I think that if it truly interests you, such as a subject matter like electricity or machinery (in the example of Thomas Edison) or Physics (in the example of Einstein) or even a vocational skill, then it should be learned and studied to an extreme level of understanding. With the example of Edison and Einstein, I think there is no way that they could have done so much studying and hard work and constant thinking, unless they were highly interested and extremely persistent about the things that they were studying. I think they must have really loved what they were doing (not every day) and it must have brought them a lot of joy, not every day, but overall.

I already knew about 90% of the material ideas in the toolkit and I think most people with a reasonable amount of common sense would. That's the key, common sense, the ability to use the critical thinking skills they don't teach kids in school anymore. It was however a good read, and fast. IT resonates and reaffirms many ideas that are floating in the back of so many peoples minds. It's a great reminder of what we need to remember we know. Make sense.

The book has 40 short sections, but between them are several repetitious entries and overlaps... how many ways can you say the same thing? A lot it seems. Think of this book not as a finely crafted German toolkit, ready to hand down like an heirloom through the generations, but instead more like that budget multi tool you got because it seems too good to be true, so many attachments, so low cost.... but just like that tool, this book quickly blunts itself, and almost none of the included extras actually fit your needs.

It's a good book to motivate yourself, it is a simple way of keeping up with the dailly ups and downs of life. Great work.

Friends: * Like Albert Einstein's important and short equation " E=MC^2 "; Issac Robledo gives us a Intellectual Toolkit with a few tools that are really all you need [ If you are a Genius ]..... Someone in the last year published a 63 page equation that is supposed to be the solution of the 274 year old math problem called " Goldbach's Conjecture ". I read all 63 pages and know it cannot be correct. It is too long as the partial solution in words is: " The Prime numbers get thicker and thinner in globs as they approach Infinity..... " Take a look at the image associated with this review from the Geniuses at Apple and Google my name to Learn more.... Arthur Gerard Michael Baron von Boennighausen

It was too general,in the nature, it gave no information, or knowledge that I didn't know. It had less help , to help you , improve, or improve your skill or develop new one. I can not suggest you read it not worth the time or effort!

This book is easy to read and can actually be applied to your life on day one. I bought several more and plan on giving them out to those who are consciously aware of self care and development. Also a great gift for children 14 and older. Buy multiple and give them to those you want to succeed.............

I gave it to my 11 year old daughter and read along with her. I found the principles to be very simply explained and very useful for her. i recommend the book if you are going to be working with your child in building their genius

Principle #6: Everyone is constantly trying to sell you something Really? How ironic that this is exactly what the author is doing with that book. No genious trends here! Just out of my butt, simplistic and most important completely unsupported and undocumented claims that have no relationship to genious toolkits whatsoever (unless you are a real moron or a 10 year old!)... Take it from a real PhD in psychology (myself) and go to the Adam Grant (a real PhD that talks about real science) section.... Run!

Compact book with lot of good practices. Came in handy and in a good package.

Enjoyable, quick read, useful reminders of points some known, some forgotten and a few new. A worth while read at a great price.

It was alright
