Leap: Lifetime Economic Acceleration Process 1 review
Robert Castiglione
Castle Lion Publishers, 2005
The most honest approach to financial planning I have ever seen!
I first encountered the Lifetime Economic Acceleration Process on the internet in 1999. As a financial advisor I found it difficult initially to really believe what the LEAP program was telling me.
After years of analysis I still cannot find any faults within the system. I soon realised that a lot of my professional education came from government supervised education programs (requirements ...

Be Unreasonable: The Unconventional Way to Extraordinary Business Results11 reviews
Paul Lemberg
McGraw-Hill, 2007
Plan To Spend Some Time With This Amazing Book
I am a fast reader, and I can zip through the average business book on a plane trip. You know . . .yadda, yadda, yadda, think outside the box . . .yadda, yadda, yadda, be proactive . . .
"Be Unreasonable" is NOT your average business book. I found myself stopping every few pages to absorb the powerful concepts presented, think about what they mean to me, and generate ideas that will transform ...

Faster: The Acceleration of Just About Everything 100 reviews
James Gleick
Vintage, 2000
entertaining collection of observations
Jam-packed with information and covering subjects that range from Richard Feynman's observations of theoretical physics to the rise of MTV, this book reads, well, fastly. I got a kick out of it and learned a lot. It has a very large number of chapters which are not always that closely tied together, but maybe an obvious point is that that is the intent of the author, to make the book read like ...

Prufrock Press, 2005
A must for every parent of a gifted math student
This is by far the best book I have read on the subject of giftedness in math. This goes through the myths of teaching math to gifted. It will hit home- as these myths are WIDELY believed by the schools in the USA. There is a plethora of very practical advice for parents. Many talented youth are underachieving in math in the USA because of they way the schools go about teaching. This book ...

Stan Reimer, Orin Thomas
Microsoft Press, 2005
Very good exam and real world based book
I went to the MOC2824B training a few months ago and didn't like it that much. If you, like me go to the official training you will find that is very much alike. But the autors included a lot of real world notes and insights for the exam on the book that you wont find on the MOC manual. Be ready to mount the practices on a virtual machine environment or real one if you have all the hardware, you ...

Lisa Rivero
Great Potential Press, 2002
Targets a Different Audience
I read several dozen books on homeschooling when I decided that my kids were going to be homeschooled. Creative Home Schooling by Lisa Rivero was by far the best book I came across. Initially I just checked the book out from the library as I did with the rest of books on homeschooling I read. I actually bought this book and am happy about it. Most of the home schooling books are designed for ...

Accelerated Learning
Out of the books on accelerated learning I liked this one the best. Not only did these techniques work for me but I now combine accelerated learning with biofeedback to help children with learning disorders. Using the techniques from this book I even did a research showing how learning can be improved in ADHD children. The research is at

Iowa Acceleration Scale Manual: A Guide for Whole-Grade Acceleration (K-8) 2nd Edition2 reviews
Nicholas Colangelo, Ann, Ph.D. Lupkowski-Shoplik, ...
Great Potential Press, 2002
A "Must Have" for Acceleration Decisions
The Iowa Acceleration Scale (IAS) is a "must have" tool in the process for determining the appropriateness of whole-grade acceleration. What I like most about the IAS is that it is research based and patently objective. The IAS also requires a team approach which only serves to add confidence to whatever decision is ultimately arrived upon. Further, each child is assessed wholistically with ...

Terrific book on memmory and learning
Filled with inspirational case studies and insight, Accellerated Learning tells how memory works and the ways to apply it. Accelerated Learning lifts my attitude up two levels whenever I pick it up. I have successfully applied many techniques learned solely from reading this book.

Great reference
I am the network administrator of a pretty big company. We put in ISA Server last year. I wish I had this book then. I can't tell you how many times I could have used this. It explains how to do basic stuff like block certain sites or make our Outlook server available using OWA, how to publish a web server, and how to lock down the environment to keep the bad guys out. The book is sometimes ...

Dell, 1997
The same tool in different hands
I read this book when it was first published, and was inspired to try the techniques. I have returned to it many times since then for further inspiration. It is really sad to read reviews declaring that Superlearning is a scam; I would suggest that any tool - and Superlearning is surely no more than a tool - is only as good as the person using it. Or perhaps only as good as their expectations - ...
