This is an easy book to read. Ideas are presented in a lucid style. I think there are some good ideas in this book but I think you should be aware before you buy the book that it is referring to learning skills and new habit patters, such as those needed to curb overeating (which is well explained) rather than learning facts like languages and formulae. I think that the message is more about life long learning, which may be what you want. You will learn about "ganus" and attitude and excitement in learning. I think that it could be an interesting resource to have in your collection of self-help books, but I am not going head over heels about it!

I have seen quotes by this author in various places on the web and was very impressed by them. I am sure she is a dynamic presenter. This book is pretty much a rehash of just about every aspect of the New Age movement. It might open doors for newcomers, but it lacks the specificity and the uniqueness of which I think this author is capable

I use this book in my training classes for LifeSkills, Leadership and personal development. Ms. Hunt's writing style and examples are clear, easy to understand and hit the point. This is an excellent book for anyone who is ready to be introduced to or to take responsiblity for their own learning and development using creative right brain methodologies.

It is a terrific introduction to the new-comer and a great refresher and reminder for those who study self-development. The techniques can be applied in both personal and professional development and gives the reader ideas on ways to expand one's thinking and mindset.

One of my favorite references is to "Possibility vs. Probability Thinking" in Chapter Three, Mental Climate for Optimal Learning. Ms. Hunt's book and teaching has opened up my personal possibility thinking in many area's of my life.

I have always had trouble in school because of being dyslexic. Trinidad's book Learning to Learn has helped me in so many ways. Before I wouldn't try in school because it was so hard to concentrate when everything I saw, I saw differently. You see when you are dyslexic you mix up numbers and letters, so it very hard to learn. Trinidad's book taught me to be a good listener. Helped me to be better organize when learning something new. Made it OK for me to ask questions in class. And know that it was OK if I didn't understand everything that was given to me. I found out by reading her book that we all learn differently and that that was OK. For educators I think it is a must read. You will have a better idea about the students that are in your class rooms. And for those of you that are in the corporate world. You will be better prepared for learning new skills as well as teaching them to each other. Trinidad I want to thank you for this book. There are not enough words to express my appreciation.
