Very good insight into dyslexia.

as a parent I was looking for a good description of what dyslexia feels like and how I can help my child. I'm going to skip back to some of the chapter to take notes. really easy to listen to voice on book.

A must listen for all dyslexics out there

Being dyslexic is not easy to grow up with, that’s a fact. Later in life the academic pressure looses its grips but low self esteem leaves the residue. This book made me realised that my mind works in such a high flying attitude that I should have been proud of all it, not ashamed.
Ronald inspires you to change the way you perceive the gift.

Not so rare survival story

A dyslexic man walked into a bra – though still, thinking quicker than a hand can write may not be a serious defect. Learning can be a very enticing activity if not made dull by a formal schooling system. The book reminded me my own adolescent years when quitted the school thinking that never again. However, a young man needed a profession so I later started studying in a technical college. Then, surprisingly, the former troublemaker turned out to be the best in the class – especially in mathematics, physics and mechanics. Now, after two engineering degrees and one postgraduate degree in technical mathematics, I can do nothing but wonder why on earth I could have missed so many years in my younger life. People are very different, and indeed, and excellent talents can get dismissed. The book is unquestionably worth of listening (or reading)

insightful

As the author has overcome dyslexia, it was interesting to hear his perspective and the research into why dyslexia develops.

must buy for dyslexia or parents of dyslexia child

this is a must buy if you want insight into how to overcome dyslexia. the reason i gave it 4 stars is because it is just read from the book, and says from time to time to read the side notes, or look at the chart, etc. well you dont have that so sometimes your just left wondering what iam missing. for that i would say buy the book and on kindle its much cheaper.

Highly useful content. Audio poor quality.

I'm an educator & motivated to help my dyslexic students. This book is proving to be a fab companion on the commute/on walks as so many concepts are clarifying the approach my students have mastered before they arrive on my courses as adult learners. I just wish the audio was cleaned up as it's terrible. Please consider doing this unless it is on purpose to help depict how things are distorted for Dyslexics. Which I doubt.
