Customer Reviews

a great help

This book is a wonder help if you stink at math in general, and will help you perform some hard stuff in your head and have you stunning people with your quick answers, Scott does a good job keeping the language simple and the concepts easy too follow.

It's up to you

The outcome of this book, like any book on enhancing mental abilities, is going to depend on the reader's level of ambition and practice. I've had this book for years, but only recently started devoting the time to really practicing the techniques, and they DO WORK if you do. This book will give you a running start - you've got to do the rest yourself, and devote a good portion of your time to it's practice.Books like this one can fall under the category SELF help. Ever wondered why they're called that?

This book is a breath of fresh air. It makes math fun . This is the type of book that needs to be read a few times, but it is great. I wish i had this book in high school.Anyway this book is best for high school and some college students. I hope scott writes the sequel to this book, and includes topics like , trig,stats,cal,chem,and physics etc...
