When yo**spoiler alert** If I could give 6 stars to this book then I would. From the very start you can see that the author REALLY KNOWS his readers. When you want to be a good leader, a better student and the best family member...and then you have all of this work to do and at first it feels overwhelming and then you are barely progressing so you get angry at yourself and you overthink everything and then you've got to pull on an all-nighter and the next day you have this big headache and you are frustrated because obviously you couldn't catch up on all of them essential tasks.....Life just isn't this hard! Burn out is not a badge of honor. You have got to built an effortless state and carry on effortless actions to be able to get effortless results. Pulling on an all- nighter won't do any good if you don't know the principles, it's just like you are trying to understand the acid-base balance function of the kidneys but you know absolutely nothing about what an acid or a base is in the first place.....so you've got to learn the principles first even if they take a whole day or two to get to understand them, because it is after that when everything else will just flow in swiftly and you literally won't have to put in all that huge effort- that all-nighter. I loved this idea of starting from zero, I would often sit for hours and hours in an hall exam and not be able to write anything in that box and then i would eventually give out my paper blank, but as i learned about this method, it really has changed my life. I'm being more courageous by the day, I not only am starting to get higher grades but I also have started writing reviews about the books that I have read, when otherwise I couldn't even hold the pen. This book has just made my life so much easier. It is amazing. I hope it finds its way on every bookshelf....more

Have you ever got the feeling of finally finding out where something originated from? That feeling of relief when finally you understand it!? Well if you are that type of person then this is your type of book! I love how the writer shows how all this science being recently discovered was already written in our holy book of the QURAN thousands of years ago... There was this chapter where the writer recalls how wudu gives you more energy you need instead of coffee to get through your day with a clearer mind and obviously much less anxiety; it being sweeping off all those so active charges inside of us that could literally blow off a whole house if they were shot at it! I absolutely recommend this book and I also recommend it be read daily that is to read each chapter on a separate day all alone (I know how hard it could be since the book is awesome and you want to read more and know more) but of course, after finishing the book recall on it constantly to get the most out of it!....more
