Good paperwork skills without hypes or gimmicks!!!
This book really helped me organize how I handle paperwork, communications, and information gathering. It help me learn to read faster and improve my memory. This book is out of print but I highly recommended it. This isn't Super Learning telling stories etc. This book really is a how to book. If you're swamped in paperwork this will help greatly. The book is any easy read.

More than I had hoped to learn
This book is packed full of good useful information. By reading the book and doing the pertinent exercises I was able to improve many of my mental skills. I hadn't expected to get so much out of one book.

Amazing section on speed reading
Found this 1990 book at the local library - though it does not deal with the internet at all, it is still an extremely useful book.

Talks about a variety of topics like power of positive thinking, reducing stress, improve concentratiion, how to relax your eyes & improve peripheral vision.

The section on speed reading is utterly amazing, well worth the price of the book - I've been able to more than double my reading speed, and am trying to learn "grokking" to grasp at the essence of an entire technical book in an hour!
