An experience that can't be duplicated

A great book-and let me tell you why. I was fortunate enough to be given this book as a gift about 6 months ago (before it was even available here) as my father found it online from the publishers site. Since the day of reception and our first read through it (with my father), each day since has been brighter and more invigorating than the last. A slow and steady ascension. Let me tell you about the book through my eyes: It begins with Phase 1.1-- where we are explained how our brain and minds function. This is where we become aware of the synergy between our conscious and subconscious minds, and how anything (as in any thought) we keep repeating to ourselves consciously will echo into our sub-conscious. We are shown that we can change our self concept, beliefs and attitude-and make our identity whatever we want. A confident money making go-getter, an action taking achiever... whatever we want. However, one doesn't have to be a Yogi or a zen master to do this, as this book explains. Phase 1.2 shows exactly how to analyze our minds, eliminate what we don't want and add what we want. It gives you complete control over your mind. With the help of the VPT (support team) I crafted an excellent set of beliefs to program into my mind-ones that spoke true to me and where I wanted to go in the future.Phase 2 is next. This is where we learn how we can train our minds to become smarter using the infinity mind system. To paraphrase Mark H. McCormack and what he says on the books site (he says it much better than I could) "the human brain is just as malleable as the muscles of the body, making intelligence as easy to increase and build as physical strength. If there were a mental Olympics, the Infinity Mind System is a training strategy that gold medal winning thinkers would rely upon." I had some trouble learning this training exercise, but after about 6 days of trying I got it. Some of my friends got it within an hour, others a little longer than I-I guess it varies for every person. The good news is the results are there, and I can only attempt to squeeze in a description of the intelligence increases I've experienced. My understanding and learning speeds are much faster-I get things much more quickly than ever before. My vocabulary has expanded and my creativity and visual capabilities make thinking and problem solving a rewarding experience. My brain sometimes feels like it's on fire, as the exercise stimulates it so thoroughly. This is my favorite part of the MindAccelerator.Phase 3 (about how to improve reading speed and comprehension) was the hardest thing for me to pick up on, but that makes sense because it is the most tangibly rewarding part of the Mind Accelerator, and I will tell you why. Before I had a lot of books I wanted to read, but was too lazy/didn't have the time to get through. Now I can't find enough new books of interest to read, or should I say iRead. Right away, Phase 3 shows you how to improve your reading speed 10 f

An Opportunity is here...

The aspect of The Mind Accelerator that really struck me deeply was the opportunity it's creating for everyday people. Anyone, anywhere in the world, in any situation, whether they are down and out or doing extremely well, can all of sudden become so much more. This book is a real break for those of all walks of life. With this gateway to a becoming a better, more successful individual, the playing field has never been so level.The Mind Accelerator program brings people back to the roots of life and down to its very basic structure - a place where they can identify the problem areas, the things that have held them back, and start rebuilding a new life, a successful life from the ground up... enhancing what they already have and completely re-writing their habits and day to day practices where needed. In this dog eat dog world, everyone either knows a sad story or is one themselves. If this book was on all 6 billion of our bedside tables, that would no longer be the case-everything would be better.

the way to lead a successful life

I was introduced to this book via my employer, IBM, as it was acquired as part of an employee development initiative.IBM prides itself on staying at the very edge of personnel development and the fact they have adopted this book speaks volumes. Folks, this is the way to win in the new economy-- the strategy is here. There is a fellow who reviewed this book that recommends you buy a few different books and do research to write your own program. He probably also recommends buying some land, investing in some animals and farm equipment to make your own supply of milk, eggs and fresh meat and vegetables. He would probably also tell you to write your own software programs, rather than buying any from Microsoft cause they are just too expensive:) The Mind Accelerator is a compendium of straight forward techniques that got me to the next level. I value my time and this book has shown me how to better use it.I am thinking and talking faster, thinking much more visually and creatively and am really enjoying how great ideas and insights keep jumping into my mind when I need them. My vocabulary has grown and my intelligence has leapt quite a few notches.I approximate that my reading speed has increased 5 fold, and I am getting much more out of each book I choose to read... which is the most important thing to me.I recommend anyone who is serious about competing for the best jobs-- anyone who's survival depends on their level of performance at work, get The Mind Accelerator.

A converted skeptic--Excellent book that really delivers!

I had a great time with the Mind Accelerator. Having completed the program with a few friends in Australia by using the Mind X-Change that is accessible to all book owners, the experience has been searching, changing, and revitalizing.I will continue to practice and use the 4 phases and am right now in the process of teaching my 11 year old daughter the core ones. That in itself says how much this book means to me.I recommend buying this title and taking it very seriously.God Bless:)

This is world class strategy, for a world class University

"If it's not for class, I almost always have a hard time reading anything, but [The Mind Accelerator] really grabbed my interest. I excitedly advanced through the book according to the "Progression Schedule" and by the time I finished it my habits had really changed. Studying, day to day commitments, my business venture. I'm taking inspired action in every area of my life. I can iRead so well now that learning is no longer the tough thing it once was. I've been using the Infinity Mind System as recommended and I hate to say it outwardly, but my study group can barely keep up with the analysis and insights I've been coming up with during case studies. What I thought my future held is no longer what I plan on, as the abilities I now have call for much grander plans. I haven't settled on anything yet, but I'm using Phase 4 and the GCA on a continual basis to plot out my future. The only thing I seem to be worried about is being humble and maintaining an acceptable level of humility. Lets just say my friends are getting sick of hearing about my new "talents".Tobey at Stanford University
