jovana_vdk's review against another edition
This book was interesting in some way but at one point I just couldn't keep reading it. It just wasn't interesting enough for me even though I read about 73% of the book.
beckuiters's review against another edition
4.0
Really great book. Would recommend if you want to improve your mind, thinking skills and your overall perception of the world/other people. The six secrets were identified and explained brilliantly. The parts on the education system and how to improve it were not originally my thing but the author still made interesting points to keep me engaged. A key point that stuck on this particular section was our education system’s bias towards stories and eloquent writing over how to argue and identify manipulation. Schools recommend books for kids to read and only 2 out of 60 are non-fiction as they have an emphasis on epic stories and pretty words. While the author doesn’t undermine the importance of literature, he emphasizes the lack of education on scientific process and thought techniques that impact our lives more so than using ‘verdant instead of green’. Some great points to stew on and many thought provoking sections.
