This highly motivational book creates an "AHA!" feeling, as it serves to guide individuals, schools, learning institutions and governments in transforming nations into active learners.
The highly practical guidelines enables one to immediately put into practise ideas discussed in this book.
Interesting concept on how to read 28 books a week. It works......
It is a must read for educators striving to be the best they can and even more important for parents as they hold the key for unlocking their children's potential.

Yes, you did read that right a man can give birth to a hippo. Or at least he probably can if you choose to believe the claim that starts one of the chapters in this book: "almost anything we can conceive is now possible". While that may be a particularly ridiculous statement it is indicative of the tone of this book. Relentlessly optimistic in their outlook, the authors tour every trendy idea in education, teaching and learning, ready to see "the world's best" in everything. So enthusiastic are they that every other page is given over to a large type summary of the key point(s) of the surrounding pages. To begin with the book is almost overwhelming in its breadth, but before too long it sinks in just how superficial the information is, and how uncritically every idea, no matter how controversial, is being presented. All becomes clear when you get to the section suggesting that you "relearn how to read". Apparently you can read four books a day if you read them like you would a newspaper - flick through it and just read the bits that look interesting. Now you understand why the information in this book is so broad but so shallow. The authors must have skim read their source material.
