Barbara Oakley PhdLearn Like a Pro

Of course, the science wasn’t yet done, but every child should be given access to this material. I’m constantly learning and will be changing some of my methods to match the books recommendations. Can’t praise this book enough!

Specific steps to follow for optimal learning. I am using these methods now. They work!!How to learn - how to memorize

Over the past year I've read over 10 books on the subject of efficient learning like UltraLearning by Scott H. Young and How We Learn by Stanislas Dehaene. This book gets to the point that a lot of the work by the previously mentioned authors takes ages to nail down and does so very consicely. The downside is that it does not delve too deeply into studies or the underlying science, but I believe cutting that for brevity was an intentional choice, as their inclusion in other works can sometimes make the reading experience drag. Knowing the intricate workings of myelin in the brain will not, unfortunately, make your own myelin work harder. Knowing the learning principles that properly stimulates your brain will, and this book cuts to them quickly.Do not let a 1 star review about what's included in the sample (of all things man, come on) turn you off of buying this book. Despite what that review might suggest, rating the contents of an ebook sample is not, in fact, a fair rating of the contents of the book.

Concise and precise summary of main techniques of learning in a smart way. You gain a lot of time ir you apply yourself in your live. I recommend you

This is a great book and provides great insight into how we can sharpen our learning tools set....and why the brain learns better and easier this wayIf you want a deeper dive check out the Excellent and free Coursera courses , learning to learn, learning to learn for youth and Mindshift...also other books , mind for numbers and mindshift all take a deep dive into this life changing subject.....they all build on and reinforce the concepts

This is a very practical book. It is concise, making for an easy read. It does not get bogged down in excessive background for the principles presented. Clearly the target audience is college students, but all the information is useable by anyone with a little tweaking.

The book successfully covers different learning techniques. It’s easy to read and remember. The topics include focus, creative thinking, reading effectively, planning, habits, metacognition and taking tests. Although it’s more geared towards to studying, you can use it for learning other practices. There’s no unnecessary stories or fluff material. It has takeaways and good summaries.

The book has a good collection of tips for learning in a short format. While there isn't anything new here, it is a handy collection to have in one place. The graphics and tabulated highlights make it useful for a diligent high schooler.

É um bom livro. Lembrando que ele é um resumo sistemático e direto do "aprendendo a aprender" com algumas dicas a mais e que não é tão bem explicado quanto o citado. Mas vale o preço pra quem não quer saber tanto sobre com tantos detalhes sobre aprendizagem e quer um guia rápido e sintético. O ponto negativo fica sobre a qualidade do papel e encadernação, bem abaixo do "aprendendo a aprender".

Ho comprato questo libro senza troppe aspettative ed invece si è rivelato un testo, a mio parere, ben concepito e che offre numerosi spunti di interesse. Un libro che non entra troppo nella teoria degli argomenti trattati ma va dritto al punto, alla pratica, a quello che alla fine serve per ottenere il risultato. Lo consiglio assieme ai testi del grande Mario Polito.

Lohnt sich vorallem für Studenten und hilft zu verstehen wie wir eigentlich lernen. Tips und Tricks sind einfach umzusetzen.

The media could not be loaded.  All the chapters teaches you something. Must have book for life long learners and who thinks learning is rejoicing. Though some concepts are dry but worth reading, observing and learning from them too. I belive adults who feel boring about reading and learning should read this putting some extra effort. This book is all about how we can train our brain to learn something gradually.. most of us knew about pomodoro technique but we can learn why that strategy applies to first 25 mins can be learn through this book. I felt this was interesting and worth reading. Belive you too. Thanks to the authors..

I wish I had this book 30 years earlier. I don't understand why schools make this a must read for sophomore students. Money we'll spend!!!!!
