Well to be honest the book started off on a good note but I lost interest very easily and quickly.
When I first got the book I didn't like the title and what it suggested. I dunno, just thought it meant using psychology rather than true and good intentions to get what you want. Further reading and I started to understand it and it made a lot of sense. It was mere dynamics of how the brain functions and using that knowledge you could get what you want. So I got into it but at this point I feel like following such rules can make life dull. All you really need is actually good intentions and a good heart and the rest will follow. I have decided to continue reading since there is no knowledge that is not power. Learning how the brain works and all its weird dynamics can be amazing too.
Some of the things I have learnt already :
I learnt about Internal dialogue. How to understand your internal dialogue and change it to a more positive one.
How to overcome fears and teach your brain to understand that the actual fear is a manifestation of a conceived notion by the brain of something that has not happened yet.
How making a pros and cons list can bring to surface the unconscious mind which has already made a decision where as the conscious mind seems to procrastinate that decision based on logic, environmental factors, people and preconceived logic.
Breaking the habit. Realising that a habits give you certain benefits and trying to get the same benefits by forming new and positive habits and replacing the old ones with these can help you overcome destructive behaviour patterns.
Autopilots - we have an internal mechanical thinking processor that automatically performs tasks to give way for us to focus on other things. These autopilots do not understand logic or reason so sometimes bad autopilots are formed. Finding out which autopilots are useful and which are not can help you to be more productive.
