"As the maxim goes, "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right." "
This will, in a way, be a dual review. If you can and you are able, I would highly recommend reading Mindset by Carol Dweck alongside this book. Or if you’re the type that can’t read two books at once, read Mindset first and then this one. It’s a match made in heaven. Mindset opens you up to the possibility your intelligence is entirely within your control and Make It Stick gives you the tools to make it so. This book outlines, not only the science for why this works, but also specific tips whether you're a student, a teacher, a coach, or just someone who wants to learn how to play the piano.
I will be sleeping with this by my bed and slipping copies into little drawers in hotel rooms like a second bible. I will find a way to put this in the hands of every student and teacher and everyone anyone that needs it. And even then I will still be singing this book's praises to the high heavens for what it's done for me.
