Hacker News Stories and Comments
All the comments and stories posted to Hacker News that reference this book.This is not the first time it has been called "Magic". For example in "The Structure of Magic, Vol. 1: A Book About Language and Therapy" the book explains how people create inner models of the world to represent their experience and guide their behavior.
I have found a lot of books on the subject but most rightly titled books seemed to have only tips and tricks. Some are really good but don't really hit the sweet spot for me.This book is good but and example of what I am talking about. http://www.amazon.com/Accelerated-Learning-21st-Century-Mast...
But the ones I have had the most success with are the Neuro Linguistic Programming books by John Grinder and Richard Bandler.

⬐ DamagedPropertyI looked through my library and found a couple more that are really great for accelerated learning.Sleep thinking: http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Thinking-Revolutionary-Problems-...
The Einstien Factor by Win Wenger and Richard Poe. (Couldn't find the book on Amazon)
The Man-Month is enough! =)Btw, there is another 33 years old book which is still worth reading - http://www.amazon.com/Structure-Magic-About-Language-Therapy...
⬐ mahmudI found "abstract NLP", specially their use of Chomsky's work, a bit of a voodoo. I have worked through Bandler and Grindger with a pencil for months, and eventually became disenchanted with the faux-science aspects of NLP.⬐ c00p3rThis book is not about NLP, it is about that language is a key, about gule-governed behavior and about understanding and modeling of this behaviour.The great idea is about using linguistic methods to understand and model a human's mind activities, which are based on language constructions.
NLP itself is just a trend, an attempt to sell these theories to the masses.
