5.0 out of 5 stars No Excuses - The Secrets Have Been Revealed, January 19, 2004

By	James D. Williams (Honolulu, HI USA) - See all my reviews

In "7 Secrets of Learning," Dr. Martel reveals what parents, teachers and students need to know to dramatically transform the learning process into the joyful, natural and successful experience we have dared hoped it could be. Now, as never before, Dr. Martel shows us that we have the knowledge needed so that none of us needs to struggle to learn. This book is built on 7 core concepts:
1. The message received is the message sent.
2. You get more of what you reinforce.
3. Any act of learning is an act of creating.
4. Diversity is a capacity.
5. Our strength is in our connectedness.
6. Stupidity is a learned behavior.
7. Everyone is born a genius.
Not only does Dr. Martel, explain these concepts chapter by chapter, page by page, he also gives us clear and easy to follow processes to put these concepts to work in our daily lives. Parents can use this book to give their children a head start. Teachers can use it as the only guide they need to take their students to the highest levels of performance. Students themselves, especially those in high school and college, can use it to take control of their own learning, going faster and further in their studies than they may have dreamed was possible.
Everyone interested in learning, teaching or education should read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars learning seen from a different perspective, April 15, 2004

By	G.M. Schmitz-Darwinkel (Vreeland, Utrecht Netherlands) - See all my reviews

For all people, especially teachers and parents who are interested in how children learn best, this is a book that should not be missing on your book shelf. It not only reveals secrets about a child's (internal) learning process, it also gives insights in what the learning environment should look like to achieve the optimal learning performance. Issues like the importance of colours, music, water and light are decribed in such a way that you understand how environmental mismatches can influence the learning proces and a child's health in a negative way.
It is furthermore a book that beside the theoretical background on the seven secrets of learning, provides the reader with very practical tips and tools and lots of lifely examples of schools and companies who have implemented the Intellilearn method. If you read these examples you can only be wanting to start working with the Intellilearn methodology. For, this is the way to create an optimal learning environment, in which children will learn and perform with pleasure, according to their personal learningstyle, in good health and achieving their best level of personal performance.
I believe in the methodolgy of Dr. Martel and my personal aim is to get these seven secrets of learning implemented in our Dutch school system and let a lot of children have more fun in learning.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Secrets for Everyone", October 8, 2003

By A Customer

Martel shares with his readers all his knowledge and enthusiasm for the "real" world of learning. There is something in this book for everyone to take to "heart and brain". I'm a grandparent now, but I've also been a student, educator, parent , administrator, member of community boards over my life-time and it would have been great to have had knowledge of the "secrets" this book imparts. The author makes it easy to follow the trail of what happens while one is "learning" anything. The reader can easily see how the process of thinking and absorbing information is influenced by who we are, where we are, and when all this is taking place. In this book are a myriad of suggestions as to how one can make learning "anything" easier and more fun. I only wish I had had access to all these "secrets" many years ago.
