For chapter summaries turn to Quick Start!
This book contains numerous techniques and principles. Their application to your life does not require a full understanding of why they work. This is analogous to driving a car. When operating a car, it is not necessary to know the mechanical engineering behind its functioning in order to get you to where you're going. All you need to know is how to drive it.
Using this book is very much the same way. Although the techniques work, you don't really have to understand the reasoning behind them - and I won't dwell too much on that part of it either. You just have to know when to apply them. This book is geared towards effective results. I wrote it so that a person can just pick it up and start using the stuff immediately. That is why one of the first chapters is about memory. I want you to get right into the action. Feel free to read the memory and speed-reading chapters first, if you need to use these tools right now. However, do not neglect the other chapters. The total unification of diverse tactics into a single stragtegy for success is the very essence of this book. The scope of this book does not allow me to go into considerable depth on any one particular topic. In Appendix B you will find sources for more information and I highly recommend you use them.
The material contained in these pages was gathered from many places. I would like to salute the individual men and women throughout history who have each, in his or her own special way, overcome major obstacles out of their love for humanity, and uplifted us just that little bit more. It is for them, and a new generation of students everywhere, that this book was written.
Thank You All and God Bless.
