The remainders of "The Greatest Secret in the World" replaced with exercices and pieces about being more aware of many essential skills. Through the exercises and losely coupled chapters, you can learn some core disciplines of the whole human race.
Let me explain.
It's like a manual for the simplest things in live like control about yourself, how the brain works, performance in any situation and so on. It makes a real difference for you, once you have understood and practiced for a while. But it is worth the effort.
Books are like a stream of knowledge, when they are really packed to the smallest possible pieces of text. The first read through is an enjoyment of well written text and assembled graphics, tips and exercises. But when you work while you read it gets even better.
Riding a bycycle is a pretty good metaphor on the whole thing.
You need to learn how to ride a bike. So you need a bike.
I assume you already have a brain, since you are reading this.
Then you probably want to know how it works and evolves, in many details and exercises? One chapter. Go for it.
It reads closely to the offense of structure of very well written code, but in human readable text.
This is my opinion and i'd like to hear from others what they think, by all means. :)
