Publisher's Synopsis
Do you spend too much time learning with disappointing results? Do you find it difficult to remember what you read? Do you put off studying because it is boring and you're easily distracted? This book is for you. Dr Barbara Oakley and Olav Schewe have both struggled in the past with their learning. But they have found techniques to help them master any material. Building on insights from neuroscience and cognitive psychology, they give you a crash course to improve your ability to learn, not matter what the subject is. Through their decades of writing, teaching, and research on learning, the authors have developed deep connections with experts from a vast array of disciplines. And its all honed with feedback from thousands of students who have themselves gone through the trenches of learning.
