30 Days to a More Powerful Vocabulary: The 500 Words You Need to Know to Transform Your Vocabulary...and Your Life

Excellent help to change or improve your mind

Loved it, I have been reviewing since I bought this audiobook.

It is a great book! I like how the narrator on the audio book sounds so great . I'll highly recommend this to anyone who wants to increase their vocabulary.

This book was perfect for my needs. First, it is a relatively fast read, which is great because I can rarely finish books due to my busy schedule. But, this one was well-written, very interesting, short and to the point so I read it twice. Second, I learned a great deal of additional information on how a large vocabulary correlates to so many other factors in life---from happiness to career success to general well-being. The 30-day program was a great way to organize the material---I followed it to the letter, reading and reviewing those words that corresponded to the particular day I was working on. After 30 days, I did feel I had a good handle on all the new words, and then re-read it on a plane ride, just to reinforce it. I'd highly recommend this if you are interested in the topic, want something that you can fit into your schedule, and want to learn a ton of great new ideas.

The entire presentation is boring and he talks way too fast. The first CD is full of talk, talk, talk. Instead, he should have gotten right down to business. Once he does, he talks way too fast and tries to fit too much into each session.

I love this book and having the PDF to go along with it helps a lot. Love this!!!!

Don't waste your money on this book. The title is deceptive since it borrows its title from a previous best-seller by another author. A quick look at the Kindle edition reveals that this book is not much more convenient than a paperback book. It has no exercises, just a list of words with "artificial categories." Not a difficult book to write, very few interesting insights. You would be best advised to buy a kindle dictionary or better still, download a free dictionary and thesaurus app, then be on the lookout for words you don't understand and look them up as you read. This book should not be listed on Amazon! Or it should be sold for 20% of the listed price. If it weren't for wasting the time to request a refund, I'd do that...and this much says a lot about my opinion of the book.What one would expect (because this copycat book's original model had them) is multiple tests over each chapter with uses and contexts to reinforce words learned by asking questions about the words as they might be used in context.

I have read books in the past that were much more helpful. It does not teach you any word per se! It just talks about words!
