'It fired my imagination. It set me thinking. If your aim is to enable learners to explore, integrate and make sense of knowledge or skills that will help them in their work - and for you all to have fun in the process - then the contents of this resource will put you well on the way. The outcome for me was that I felt empowered, imaginative and very enthusiastic.' People Management 'This is an incredible book that provides a wealth of well-researched, up-to-date material with which trainers can transform their approaches to groups in order to make learning a reality. There are some very stimulating chapters in the book...The explanations are very clear, well spaced out and full with unobtrusive but text enhancing pictures, diagrams, quotations and references. Unusual ideas are put forward in the chapters dealing with rhythm and rhyme, mnemonics, stories, anecdotes and humour. This book needs to be on the desk of every trainer and manager in the country. It is a wonderful up-to-date resource that would help to enliven any collective gathering such as a board meeting or conference as well as within the rooms of a trainer. Kimberley Hare and Larry Reynolds have certainly brought brain-friendly learnging to life in this excellent publication.'

Training Journal '...this is an interesting, readable and thought-provoking publication which has value for new and experienced trainers, facilitators and learning designers...the manual is bursting with ideas and intriguing perceptions - try it.'
