A book for learners of all ages containing the best and most updated advice on learning from neuroscience and cognitive psychology. 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’s 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, no 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 it’s all honed with feedback from thousands of students who have themselves gone through the trenches of learning. Successful learners gradually add tools and techniques to their mental toolbox, and they think critically about their learning to determine when and how to best use their mental tools. That allows these learners to make the best use of their brains, whether those brains seem “naturally” geared toward learning or not. This book will teach you how you can do the same. Review: Learn how to learn - 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.. Review: Excellent Book - This is the book that people of all ages, particularly students should read. The money spent on this book will be worth it.

This book is a must read. It helps us in understanding what research knows about how the brain learns so that we can optimise our learning approaches in the right way.

You should mention “Printed by Amazon italia”
Cheap paper cover printed by Amazon Italia Logistica Srl There isn’t any protective foiling on the paper Could have done the same by printing the book on my home printer At least mention the origin of the publisher Original book OR copy made through the self publishing paperback printing Amazon program

Tutto ciò che serve e nulla più
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.

Consejos útiles, basado en trabajos previos, resumen, similar a "Learning How To Learn"
Compré este libro tras leer "Learning How To Learn". - Hay temas que aparecen en ambos libros: procrastinación y la técnica Pomodoro, descanso y consolidación de la memoria, mnemotecnia, la importancia de realizar tests (la parte de crearlos tú mismo es un buen consejo). Siempre puedes consultar el índice de ambos libros y elegir el que más te interese. - Aquí trata algo más (o introducen) aspectos relacionados con disciplina, motivación, lectura eficiente y metacognición. - Cada capítulo acaba con un breve resumen con los puntos más importantes. - También hay un resumen final, de todos lo capítulos, cosa que agradezco. - Cuenta con una bibliografía, dividida por capítulos. Para mí esto es importante, nada de "muchos estudios dicen que...". No, aquí incluyen las fuentes. - Corto y de lectura sencilla. - Bastantes consejos útiles, ¡pero tienes que ponerlos en práctica!
