50 page book expanded to a full book unnecessarily

overall ok book, nothing groundbreaking in terms of tips and tricks . eg. read faster, use visual pictures to remember, use emotions and fragrances to remember things, focus , meditate, have nutritious food etc. are not what I would call a trucks to become limitless. it's your normal everyday advice under the garb of this study , that study, this researcher said this , that one said that and look I overcame my learning disability so you can become limitless ( no offense to the author, but by 4th hour I was tired of hearing to his triumph over and over) .
sone shortcomings of the book:
1. too lengthy- atleast first 3 parts till the techniques were not needed at all, they were just fluff and author was hell bent to prove that whatever you have been told in school is wrong, he keeps on emphasising the same message but doesn't offer anything new to the table. one example he gives about his college class where there was slide by his professor with a funny quote and he was the first person in class to laugh and then he says that it pe ved his progress. I was wondering how it's possible? just because you were the first person to laugh at the quote on the slide that means you are limitless? maybe no one was looking at it? or were waiting for some simple bloke to initiate the laughter first? but seriously I thought that example was more of a delusion.
2. the narration- I went through this book with a speed of 2x and still was able to understand completely what was being said and I am not a very fast listener or reader, all previous books in audible I was only able to understand upto 1.2x , the narrator is too slow, it's like he is reading to a child
3. the interview part- I don't know why they thought of including it, it was kinda lame and broke the flow of book for me. everytime before a chapter or a part try have included a podcast episode of someone interviewing the author. it unnecessarily stretched the segment and 20-30 mins are used just to set the stage for the next chapter. completely unnecessary, boring and tedious. I skipped all of those
4. the core tricks- nothing mind blowing or limitless sort of, just your everyday tips like read faster, focus better by tuning out diversions, take reading and memory as exercise, nutritious food (there was I think 50 mins just on taking nutritious food , seriously!), also if we go by his message- he has spent atleast 1/4th of his book disproving audible's model . he just keeps on reinforcing read , read , read more , if we all are reading then who will listen to audiobooks and that brjngs me to another point of contention- he completely ignored much of literature and studies on learning and selectively quotes only those which make his case and have measly participation like 30 participants? seriously you are selling your book to millions based on a study of 40 people? also he has completely ignored the different types of learners in population such as - visual, auditory etc. some people do better with pictures, some do better listening and more. what about those? just quoting things to probe his point that by reading more you will become limitless ( junk) and wat if someone reads today's popular young adult fiction only? they will surely become limitless (junk).

there are better options available than this book of fluff on jow to becomes limitless fluff and con people. fluff, fluff , fluff be limitless, fluff , fluff , fluff I overcame my problems, you can be limitless and more fluff. just search for techniques on Google and skip this junk.

Less on content, unnecessarily lengthy

I would have rated it a 4 star, had it been half the existing length. A few good ideas in there, but you literally have to be on a lookout amidst a lot of unnecessary noise.

Good Book For Beginniners

Most of things are actually very common advices popular in self help and self development industry.

but still there are few nuggets of wisdom that I would love to implement in my life.

not a one time read. this book is something you must implement and read and listen again and again.

too many CTA's all over the place makes are irritating!

Good book for beginners..!

Beating around the bush is too much but i learned amazing techniques on “how to learn “ from this book.

full of self promotional jargon

this book consist nothing new, everything you may find free of cost at internet or YouTube.
this book is more about self promotional jargon, he will try to enlighten you about how he changed countless lifes, in very boring style

Knowledge for brain

Overall knowledge will be given in this book, like brain foods, focus, meditation, speed reading, memory boosting and many more things. This book can add a spark in your life. And provide confidence and faith in your own brain.

Thanks Jim for valuable book
