INSTRUCTION MANUAL

TIME TO READ | 5-8 hours | 1 hour |
SIZE | Regular-sized, 200+ page book | Thin booklet; hardly takes up any space in your suitcase, backpack, or pocket |
CONTENT | Contains everything that is in the instruction manual, but information is more spread out and arranged differently. The book gradually builds a case for frictionless mastery. It shares stories, general principles, and specific recommendations along the way. There is also discussion of how frictionless learning applies to any type of skill acquisition or lasting personal change. An action and understanding checklist is given at the end. | Makes it extremely clear what you need to do, but provides almost no argumentation. Brief explanations are given for only the most important principles. The manual has no stories or entertainment value. Language is direct and concise, i.e. "do this," "don't do that." |
Here is what reader Tom K. had to say after reading the draft of the full-length version:
"It really expands upon, and goes into much deeper level of your method and how to apply it to your life. It's quite a good documentation of your philosophy I believe.
As for things I liked, pretty much everything else you covered in the book was wonderfully written and presented very clearly. My main interest now came on the last few chapters, starting with Chapter 8, which deals with your training exercises, and how to improve your speaking and listening abilities.
...[This and the sections following outline] one of my biggest goals, to sound like a native speaker, gain acceptance from native speakers, and become "native" internally even though by birth I am American. So I plan to use them to their fullest extent in my learning. So thank you sir, for offering solutions to my biggest pursuit and barrier."
