Description

Everything is Connected! This reference book for life helps make everything you read and do, work better.  It shows you how to learn and master the life comprehension and transformation skills that experts possess, from the way they write and speak. You will put more and more pieces of that puzzle together, in ever new ways, the better you understand the process. 

Learning how to learn impacts your work and personal life regardless of your age, education or career.  The 10 Lessons provide direct applications to every facet of life.  Each influences the others, so your improvement is accelerated.

Many other books connect the dots for you as they deliver their advice.  But there is limited understanding of how to apply the process they use to your own life and communicate better with it, the way children fill in spaces outlined in a coloring book: a Coloring Book for Thinking. 

Clinical research has proven that people retain and USE information better with illustrative anecdotes and analogies.  Field research has proven that people at every level are more productive who communicate that way.

Take the journey.  Unlock the mystery of how to learn and communicate. Discover and put the pieces of your puzzle together, each moment.

Advance Praise

“I introduced David to speak at our annual conference as The man who figured out our secret ingredient; turned out, it was everyone else’s, as well. Then I likened his Coloring Book approach to the old BASF commercial: he doesn’t do sales, leadership, teamwork, or any other kind of training; he makes whatever training people have gotten, WORK better.”

—Rick J. Gallegos, CEO,  Dale Carnegie Training 

 

“David’s program is truly A Microsoft of the Mind. It will enable you to access and use what you know the way computers do, and how to apply that information to every facet of work and life.”

—Larry Cantrell,  Robertson County Alternative Program

 

“What I found especially intriguing about David’s blog for our Innovation Center is the way the posts continually demonstrate that the same process that works in business makes us more effective in coping with the many practical matters, with which life confronts us. The posts reveal that our ability to be innovative depends as much on our command of language as accomplishing tasks in engineering and the natural sciences relies on our mathematical skills.

—Manuel London, Ph.D.  Dean, College of Business and Professor of Management State University of New York at Stony Brook

 

“David’s approach to training lets the consultant-guru’s cat out of the bag by suggesting persuasively that what is important is understanding how people observe and communicate what they do.

—John Clemens, retired professor

Excellent! Fascinating, through and easy to read.

Honestly, this book is an enigma wrapped inside a toothache in the mouth of a genius (I think!) Yes, that was a bit random but once you've read this book I think you'll understand why I said that. One reviewer referred to it as an 'easy read' and it is - if you are happy to 'easily read' 750 odd pages. Reading this book which is essentially about learning using analogies (and that is, I admit a huge simplification) is an exercise in emotional swings. I've been fascinated - and frustrated - amazed by the bombast and the brilliance. The author has the tone of a man who has found something glaringly obvious - once you see it - and spends a great deal of time a) explaining how others are NOT seeing it and b) teasing you about how good it will be once you know it. At first I felt he had more waffle than an American diner.

But... BUT then... you start to see flashes of the brilliance he was talking about. He teases you with glimpses of his process like someone dropping coloured ink into a stream, it pauses, swirls and then dissapears leaving you seeking for the next drop of colour. The man is an expert in the art of the tease but I really think he is onto something.

I will say this- most self-development authors talk about the importance of repetition but only a few - the amazing Andy Shaw comes to mind - actually use it in their books because I suspect they are terrified of being called 'repetitious'! But this guy is not afraid to repeat himself and it is working. I have not yet finished the book but I recommend it already as a work of genius on the other side of the fog. Keep reading and you'll see daylight, the vista will open up and the El Dorado of learning is on the other side. You'll also understand why I wrote my review this way.
