Initial thoughts: The title Mindshift is pretty fitting, as the book examines different ways people have reframed their minds/their perspectives to achieve their goals. Perhaps because the author strongly believes in metaphors as aids to teaching, most of the chapters are based on specific people and their life experiences. I found this to be an engaging approach, though there were minor factual errors (about Singapore) that distracted me; same with audiobook mispronunciations of terms (Malay became "may-lay) and names (Sun Yat Sen became "Sen Yat Sen"). Still, it's evident that Oakley knows what she is talking about and is very passionate about the mechanics of how to learn and how to prime our minds for action.
