This book grabs your attention and lets you in, revealing the secrets of how the human mind works, what moves and motivates all of us, and what matters the most in our lives.It is innovative and demonstrates how to learn new things in a way that does not feel like learning—and this is revolutionary by itself.

I highly recommend it.The authors get immediately noticed by how they captivate and connect with their audience. It becomes evident that they poured their hearts into these projects; they are very passionate and deeply care!They sprinkle their stories and struggles—that are often like David against Goliath, fights for good causes, and they are always looking out for your best interest. This adds humility and reliability, inspiring their audiences to like and trust them. They also give proof time and again with the undeniable evidence that the results are quite doable, and that the journey to get these goals is rewarding. However, their origin stories are the story of humanity, the story of us, showing similarities we all share.

They point out that this quest—a hero’s journey—is what we all have to go through, rediscovering it for ourselves, but it is much easier with a map at hand, presenting the information in an organized way after the strenuous work of breaking the codes has been completed.
