5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Non-Self-Help Book I've Read for Self-Help
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2016
Verified Purchase
When I initially agreed to read this book--I truly thought it was going to be another "self-help", "harness your brain's power" book. I was still interested--as these concepts always intrigue me. Then--the book wasn't that--and, I absolutely loved it. Katz introduced us to his gifts of the mind through a fictional, suspenseful story. This was a wonderful way to challenge our thought processes--and teach something without actually teaching or preaching.

I loved the author's writing style and I loved the character interaction. Everyone was open to new experiences--and everyone had a curious spark for learning. This was the perfect setting for this novel. I couldn't put it down--and I found his perspectives interesting, and perhaps even feasible and reasonable for my own life.

Would I recommend Five Gifts for the Mind by Eran Katz? I love learning about the mind and the brain's potential. I love learning even more when I don't feel that I'm back in my college psych or sociology lectures. This book is perfect for anyone--at any level of education--to consider the gifts and the possibilities of the mind. The fictional story is interesting, well written and engaging--I had to follow the characters through their quest--and make my own discoveries and realizations along with them. I loved this book. While it's not a "self help" book--so to speak--I think the writing style and format makes it so accessible to such a wide audience that it suits its goals perfectly. If you are interested in the mind and in harnessing its many powers--give this book a read. The format will surprise you--but, the story will also enlighten you as you go.

4.0 out of 5 stars Self-help Mystery - Captivating
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2016

If you're looking for a pinpointed list of tips and techniques to harness and strengthen your brain's hidden potential, you're going to be a little surprised by this book. I've read and enjoyed a ridiculous number of self-help books on a variety of subjects, and this is by far the most unique, and interesting presentation I've seen to date.

Rather than laying out a straight-forward guide, the five gifts of the mind presented in this book are wrapped up within a fictional mystery. It was slightly jarring at first, and I wasn't sure if I would enjoy the read. Not only was I pleasantly surprised by how smoothly the two genres were blended together, but also how compelling the combination was. I couldn't put it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Mystery/Self-Help book
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2016
Verified Purchase
Five Gifts for the Mind by Eran Katz is a fantastic story. The author tells a story about five gifts for the mind which are real and puts it in a story telling way. I loved it. I love reading stories and learning something from the story. This book was something I needed to read and helped me understand some things about memory.
The story is a mystery and a fun one at that. A Professor who is in his fifties receives a hand-written letter with a slight scent to it. The letter is his first clue and he must follow all the clues to find out who is sending him these mystery letters.
The characters are well developed and very interesting to read about. The book itself is easy to follow and gives great information about each of the Five Gifts for the Mind. There were some fantastic quotes in the book as well and I love good quotes. The quotes were new to me. I do highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery, and also wanting to know these five gifts for the mind. This book is a clean mystery.

A royal salute to the author.

Pardon me for out-of-ordinary comments.

The intention of the author for producing this book is clearly challenging.

Personally, I don't think that He wanted to publish a book.
I have a serious doubt that by this book,
He wants the reader
to respect every faith and religion in this world,
look deep into the words the faiths carry,
make the reader understand that there have been very wise people who have lived before our times,
and most importantly,
amazingly big feats are possible by rational, simple and strategic steps.

That apart,
What makes this book very readable and interesting are,

- The interesting way the book is planned

- The choice of language

- Plainness in presentation

- The story method

- Allowance of reasoning with the reader's psyche

A compelling recommendation

PS: I would add that in the mention of India and its systems, Author could have made atleast a passing mention about the corrupting educational system which was planned and planted by the British.
An educational system whose purpose stay to belittle ancient heritage, languages and induce high ego and selfishness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not What You Might Expect
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2016
Verified Purchase
I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up 5 Gifts For the Mind. When I first picked it up I was expecting a non-fiction how to type of book. But there is actually a story woven in with the learning. Definitely an interesting approach, and it held my interest more than it may have if it just explored the concepts of the mind straight forward as a normal non-fiction book. It felt a little odd in the beginning, but once I got into the story with the mind training it was a good read.

So I don't why but I thought this was a self help book. I had now clue it was both a self help book and a fictional story. It was a fascinating read! You literally are being taught things as you read the story. I found myself with the house to myself so I sat down with a cup of coffee and read the story. I could not put it down. The way the authors weaves fact and fiction is masterful. This is such a unique style of storytelling, you need to grab a copy. You get so much info plus you learn about history and mind training. I love when learning is fun!
