This book isn't about high performance as much as it is about accelerated learning, and it uses juggling as a metaphor as well as a practical method to improving our approach to learning.
The book gives - as the title suggests - five keys (or principles). They are:
1- Activate Your Brain's Success Mechanism
2- Transform Your Attitude about Mistakes and Failure
3- Play! Your Genius Birthright
4- Cultivate Relaxed Concentration.
5- Coach to Learn
I found the second to fourth principles the most useful, especially since play and relaxation aren't things we usually associate with learning, but are critical for learning success.
I enjoy Michael Gelb's approach to accelerated learning and holistic thinking. If you didn't recognize the name, he's the author of How To Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci.
