This had some great ideas, and exercises, on how to use more of your mind, and use ideas and ways of thinking that we may have discarded. For example, some people feel that thinking emotionally is always bad, or that being totally rational is robotic. Albrecht talks about rational/emotive thinking as being on the same spectrum and to be used to look at the same issue or problem from different perspectives. He quotes from Zen teachers, American psychologists, and neuroscientists in exploring the capacity of the brain to know well quickly (as in Blink), or to unravel a problem with group input in an organized way--zone thinking. He also has some great strategies for thinking more clearly about ourselves, especially so that we end negative self-talk that makes us feel unworthy or depressed.
It wraps up many of the thoughts in his two previous books but adds a great deal to them. I liked it.
