I thought this book was a nice gathering of scattered wisdom. It contained many skills that can help in various areas of life like memorization, problem solving, quick math and the mental edge. Much of what is written here is common sense to the older generation, but may be fresh and life-changing to my generation as it was for me.

The cheesy, hardsell style of this book belies the excellent content. So I recommend you start with the reading chapter first and learn how to selectively skim to get simply get the idea you are after and then stop reading.
Essentially it is a series of blog posts on disconnected learning ideas with incredibly hardsell heavy marketing information.
Recommend Stine, Double your Brain Power, for a calmer resummary.

نقد الكتاب : تستند بعض المعلومات إلى خرافة أن الإنسان يستخدم 10% فقط من دماغه و اثبت العلم من عشرات السنين فشل هذه الخرافة علمياً
ثناء على الكتاب : يحتوى الكتاب على بعض الممارسات العقلية و بعض الاستنباطات الإستقرائية المفيدة فى الكتاب لزيادة و رفع الكفاءة العقلية للقارىء

قرات الكتاب حسب توصية اخي الأكبر
ربما الكتاب أنقذه في بداية عمره لكن لم
يؤثر بي وأنا في نهاية العشرين ليس تصغيراً
للكاتب لانه يحتوي نصائح قيمة ومفيدة
بل بعضها عظيم ويجب تعلمها خاصة
الباب المتعلق بالمسائل الرياضية وكل من يعرفني
يعرف أن انا و الرياضيات لا نلتقي أبداً
يعني لو قرات الكتاب في بدايتي لتحسنت
في المعدلات ربما ١٠٪ والبعض الخاص
بالتلخيص و الحفظ الا ان الكتاب يعيبه
الحشو الزائد فالكتاب كبير ،كبير جدا
ويمكن اختصاره ١٥٠ صفحة على الأقل

I normally keep as far away as possible from books of this kind, but in this particular case (the book was given to me), I thought it would be easier to simply read it instead of trying to explain my prejudice without being offensive.
Well, I read it, and it turns out I have been right in my aversion to such titles.
Some of the tips in the book are not really applicable, and many of those which would probably work, would hardly be any faster or better than more conventional solutions. And the rest is just general advice of which the reader is already aware. Here are two examples:
Witt tries to convince the readers that practice is good for you (duh), and illustrates this statement with a short story about a guy who learned a foreign language better by practicing it. Thank you, captain! He also says that to solve a problem, you have to think about it and imagine what the various outcomes might be. I would never have thought of that.
The book is full of convenient stories and clichés, obviously made up for the occasion, but Witt claims that all of them happened to friends of his, so instead of being convincing, the examples are just annoying, if not insulting to the reader's intelligence (even if the very fact that they are reading a book called "How to be twice as smart" might suggest they are not the crunchiest chip in the bag).
The author's scientific claims are also questionable and as a rule, he never quotes his sources.
Witt sounds as if he were a salesperson from a teleshopping program, repeating the same things over and over again, trying hard to sell some product. Well, the reader has already bought the book, hasn't he/she?
In the chapter about fast and effective reading, the author tells us how to skip through introductions, "filler" and other unnecessary information in various texts, for example history books. This ridiculous underestimation of literature (fiction or not) maybe comes from his own experience, since you can easily skip about 75% of this very book and you won't miss anything.
But what annoyed me most in "How to be twice as smart" was the author's attitude to the topic. The reader is left with the impression that according to Witt, 'intelligent' equals 'fake', 'pragmatic' and 'manipulative'; that there are hardly any people outside the corporate and capitalist world, that the only reason to communicate with other people is to make use of them, and that everybody is driven by the same basic needs and wants. (Here is the moment to mention that many of the methods in the book are based on oversimplified psychology and Witt's lack of understanding for the subconscious.)
As a conclusion, I would suggest that you don't lose any time with this book. (It took me a few hours to read it, which were, however, spread throughout several months, because of my reluctance to keep on reading it.) I have to admit that there are some useful tips in there, but none which you can't think of by yourself or at least stumble across on the Internet.

كالعادة اسم مبهرج اكتر من المحتوى
لكن ان تناسينا وعد الكاتب وعنوانه يبقى كتاب مفيد
فيه بعض الطرق عادية للتفكير ربما لان الكتاب قديم نسبيا
لكن يوجد الكثير من النصائح المفيدة والتي تساعد في التعلم بشكل فعال واسرع
يوجد يعض الفصول في التحكم بالناس اسمهيا الفصول الشريرة
ولكن مفيد بالمجمل

على الرغم ان اسم الكتاب ليس كمحتواه حرفياً ... فالكتاب يعلمك مهارات في امور متعددة في الحياة وكان من الاصلح ان يكون عنوان الكتاب ( كيف تضاعف مهاراتك ) او شيء من هذا القبيل
الا انني انصح بهذا الكتاب وبشدة ١٠٠٪

معلومات قيمة في أساليب رفع الكفاءة العقلية في العديد من المجالات ..
و الجميل أنها أساليب فعالة ، وليست من هراء بعض كتب التنمية الذاتية

I was always a bit ahead of my peers, and I am wondering why. I am quite sure I am not naturally better than them. But I don't work that hard as well. And in this book, some of the method I have always used are mentioned. I think I found various skills in this book from the internet, or it comes with experience. And this book are printed in 1983, so it's understandable that the methods are already well known as of now.
So, well, this book didn't make me twice as smart, but it's a nice reminder and "prove" that it could work. I have a base for weird things I am doing now. Nice compilation, too. Good for the one unfamiliar for it
