Regrettably, what's in the 1st book, is exactly replicated in the 2nd book, which is supposedly a sequel.,
By Lee Say Keng "KNOWLEDGE ADVENTURER/TECHNOLOGY... (Ho Chi Minh City/Singapore) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Easy Genius at Work: Awakening Your Whole Brain to Succeed in Business (Paperback)
1) 'Easy Genius';
2) 'Easy Genius at Work'; by Chance Massaro & Steve Wallis; While browsing the Popular Book Store at the Jurong Point Shopping Mall recently, I have found two relatively new books, 'Easy Genius' & 'Easy Genius at Work', in large format print. Since they have been reasonably priced, at S$18/- each, I just grabbed the two books. At first glance, these two supposedly interactive workbooks look interesting, especially with their unorthodox arrangements of information stuff on any given page. The whole idea, according to the two authors, is to allow readers to jump into the books at any point, read it sequentially, or just go to read any particular section on a page, which has been deliberately spaced out, with information organised in chunks, to meet the many unique ways &/or styles of readers. For me, I have really enjoyed doing that. The last time I had come across such books, was during the mid-nineties or so, when the author of 'Mapping InnerSpace', Nancy Margulies, had produced two interactive books, 'Map It: Tools for Charting the Vast Territories of Your Mind' & 'The Magic Seven: Tools for Building Multiple Intelligences'. With 30+ pages each, the foregoing books were seemingly targetted at teachers & students. Nonetheless, the two books as mentioned above, took readers, including me of course, on a colourful textual/visual adventure to explore the power of our multiple intelligences. At that time, I didn't find the two books really engaging & exciting. In fact, I would say my response to them was lukewarm, to say the least. The authors of the two books now under my current review have apparently adopted more or less the same approach as Nancy Margulies. In contrast, each of the books has about 80 pages. The second book is supposed to be the sequel to the first book. Sad to say, what is in the first book, is exactly replicated in the second book. The second book is supposed to be targetted for an organisational setting, with its fancy tagline: "awakening your whole brain to succeed in business". Sad to say again, as the way I see it, the second book didn't really stand up to the author's original intentions, as expressed in the tagline, because the implementation perspectives, as far as work practices in an organisation are concerned, have only been addressed perfunctorily or pompously. What surprised me most is that all the theoretical &/or elaborative stuff pertaining to the 5 sensory or learning modalities, 10 multiple intelligences & 5 cognitive personalities (realist, pragmatist, synthetic, idealist, & analyst), which has already been covered in the first book, actually makes the second book lopsided with inadequate application utilities for the reader. In my view, the treatment of reader's worksheets has been somewhat over-simplified to be of real use in an organisational setting. I reckon maybe the second book is more appropriate for an educational setting. However, I must say that, from the standpoint of learning, i.e. learning how to learn, using one's innate intelligences, so to speak, either one of the books readily stands out on its own. The authors have covered the requisite material quite well, drawing upon many learning experts, including Howard Gardner, & touching on the significant interplay of the sensory modalities, multiple-intelligences & cognitive personalities. On the surface, the books certainly have extensive bibliographies, numerous web resources, charts & other diagrammatic aids, but their presence couldn't compensate for the short-comings. As a quick comparison, & from the standpoint of implementation perspectives with regard to multiple intelligences at work, I reckon any one of the books by educational consultant David Lazear, particularly his '8 Ways of Learning &/or Teaching' (expanded from 7 Ways during the nineties), probably fit the bill, even though his stuff has a predominantly educational slant. In fairness to the authors, I can only say this: if you are looking for a quick, fun-filled, easy-to-digest, book to read about learning modalities, multiple intelligences & cognitive personalities in one go, without too much frills, either one of the two books, 'Easy Genius' or 'Easy Genius at Work', will not disappoint you. However, if you are looking for implementation specifics & application utilities within an organisational setting, in connection with the foregoing learning "technologies", I suggest readers to do some more finger-work by exploring other better books. David Lazear's is just one possibility, & I am sure there are many others. [Reviewed by Lee Say Keng, Knowledge Adventurer & Technology Explorer, November 2008]
