Product Description
From Booklist
A little more than 20 years ago, DePorter was a San Francisco homemaker who decided to venture into the world of real estate. Hawthorne-Stone, the firm with which she wound up, was unique. It emphasized a noncompetitive, "win-win" approach to doing business, and DePorter soon earned more than a million dollars. So impressed was she with the company's philosophy that she incorporated it into an innovative school she and one of the firm's partners started in Vermont, called the Burklyn Business School, whose instructors included Buckminster Fuller. Though the school failed because of bad investments, DePorter remained committed to its nontraditional approaches to learning, which she detailed in Quantum Learning (1992). She now applies these principles at the Learning Forum, which she cofounded and which conducts a SuperCamp for children and advises companies on training programs. This new book adapts these same principles to a business environment, emphasizing empowerment, positive relationships, accountability, flexibility, commitment, integrity, and honesty. David Rouse

Excellent Brain Book, Feb 2 2007
By Stoney deGeyter "Pole Position Marketing" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Quantum Business (Paperback)
After picking this book up and reading the first several pages I almost put it down. Unfortunately it's a slow start with a lot of background on the author's business ventures. Once I got past that, however, Quantum Business was a book I could hardly put down. You might find their cartoon character, "Captain Q", to be a bit silly, but don't let that be a reflection on the content of the book itself.Quantum Learning is all about finding means and methods for improving your personal and business skills. You'll learn:
* How to find your own intrinsic motivation
* The power of taking responsibility for your life
* How to identify your preferred learning style
* How to take meaningful notes
* How to read faster with greater comprehension
* The benefit of turning failure into feedback
* How to memorize anything: names, numbers and lists
* Creative thinking and problem solving
* The power of clear communication
One of the drawbacks in which books that offer how to scenarios is that the only provide a single way (the authors way) of doing things. Quantum Learning doesn't push the reader into a single method that may or may not be right for them. Instead the authors offer multiple methods and variations which allow the reader to find a method most suitable to them.
For instance, one of the sections I found most interesting was learning how to read faster and with more comprehension. The authors provided not just one or two scientifically proven ways to improve reading skills, but three. Being able to test each method I found one that was most comfortable to me. I must add that this immediately improved my reading speed!
The chapter I found least helpful was on memorization, due to the amount of detail and, well memorization involved in just being able to learn how to memorize through the methods they had shown. But even still I walked away with the basic idea which I have since applied and was able to remember something I would have otherwise forgotten.
Quantum learning isn't a self-help book; it's a book about training yourself to do things in ways that you probably had never thought about before. In doing so, you'll find yourself far more productive, able to do and remember far more than before and able to achieve a new level of success in every area of your business life.
