I read this book through my Kindle Unlimited subscription and was very impressed. It was a relatively short, inspiring, and informative read. Zoe McKey explores the multiple intelligences pioneered by Harvard professor Howard Gardner back in 1983. Each intelligence type such as Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, and linguistic and verbal among several others is summarized with specific characteristics and traits. After identifying which intelligence type(s) the reader most identifies with, he/she is encouraged to go through the exercises identified in the following chapters to narrow down their interests and choose a path that suits their passions and desires. I took this book seriously and found out a lot about myself, especially digging into my past and reflecting on the things I really enjoyed doing as a child before the world corrupted me. I would suggest that’s a good place to start. I highly recommend this book.
This is the second of Zoe's books I have read and am ready to read another. She uses many references and research from prominent sources to support her positions. She tells her story in a relatable way that keeps you nodding in agreement as you turn each page. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a little guidance in their life and be sure to see not only Zoe's other books, but also the books that she references within them. Some truly incredible reads!
I only got two pages in. I just can't take an author seriously when they can't even be bothered to proofread their work or fix minor typos and grammatical errors. Far too tedious and far too many books I could be reading instead.
Appreciated the use of Gardner and Maslow in this work. She connects the concepts and applications very well. Would recommend this book to those new to the workforce but also as a refresher to those seeking alignment in their job and dreams.
Short but very detailed. I actually found out whats my intelligence, it made feel very good knowing what I am good for. Now I will put everything in practice as Zoe recommends.
If you are not an avid psychology genre reader, you may like this book more. This book is a pretty good summary of the multiple intelligence theory from Howard Gardner, along with some guiding questions that helps you to reflect yourself. Do you really get a mind-map to find out what you are born for? Not really. But if you'd like to examine what category of intelligence out of the 9, this maybe a good summary book for you.
Good reminder of common sense and things to comsidsr
Nothing earth shattering in the book. Find what you like, understand your true personality, confirm your desires, be practical before pursuing and learn to not react to hastily. the author provided good questions to answer to help you identify your intelligence type and how to hone it. overall, not a disappointing read but nothing I would pick up again. a good read for the first time self-help reader.
Honestly didn't get why this book has such high reviews. Perhaps a few sentences (mostly quotes from other writers used in a text) can find insightful.
This was an easy and quick read. The books delivered most of what I expected. This is not a detailed analysis of types but more a guide for anyone wanting help with determining their goals and getting out of a rut. I found the ideas relevant and easy to implement.
