Learn Like a Pro

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

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 offers tips for studying more than general learning for educational purposes. The pages, at least in my version, were all backwards, so I had to read the book from back to front, opposite of the covers.

A great and easy book to use. Makes it fun. I can recommend it.

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 way If 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.

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.
