Enthusiastic and seriously cringeworthy
Whilst I loved the title, the book was disappointing. I am finding it difficult to finish...I'm half way through. I work largely in early years and key stage 1 and there is nothing new about the teaching strategies except maybe that he is attempting them with older students. These are tried and tested techniques and have been adopted for years in early years teaching.
Amendment: I have tried yet again to finish this book but decided to delete it instead. I can't get past the author's annoyingly over-the-top admiration for himself and the cringeworthy statements he reads from un-named and possible non-existent students, who write in exactly the same language as the author, which he uses to exemplify his reasons for singing his own praises.

Good main message, but more hyperbole than helpful
I can see this being helpful to a browbeaten teacher looking for a pick me up, but that's all there really is here. Yes, enthusiasm and creativity are essential in teaching, which is the only real message, but it is only one part of great or even good teaching.
The author falls into an all too common trap, seeing education as a dichotomy. Creativity, OR facts. Many of the lessons he describes seem to lack depth of content needed for genuine creativity to happen.
I was put off with him quoting the Law of Attraction and Tony Robins. He also misapplies multiple intelligences (telling kids its ok, they are intelligent in ways 'not on the test' that matter in the real world) and cites learning styles, which have neven been shown to exist.
On a final note, it seemed to me that the teaching style being promoted here is far more about the teacher than students, gimmicks than learning and self promotion than depth. I strongly suspect that teaching in this way would leave teachers pretty clueless about what their students do and don't know or understand.
There are better reads that set out better visions for education in my opinion If you were disappointed with this, try 'Responsive Teaching', 'Why Kids Don't Like School' and 'The Learning Rainforest.'
