Title: Learn More, Study Less
Post by: kyzoo on January 10, 2010, 01:20:30 am

Wanted to share this – Amazing ebook

Learn More, Study Less debunks the myth of genius, and delineates what “being smart” is really all about - it has nothing to do with genes, parents, or even the environment one was raised in, conversely it’s a practical principle that everyone can apply. The principle is termed “holistic learning”; to put it shortly it’s the opposite of rote memorization, which as the author puts it, is “repeating information enough times with the hopes that it will stick.”

The ebook goes on to explain in detail an approach to learning which integrates the principle, in addition to specific learning and memorization techniques. Other features include insights on being a productive student, as well as motivation.

Definitely worth your time to read.

I read it all. Ill definitely employ some of the methods. Visceralisation. Peg methods or whatever he called it. I already do work a bit like that which is comforting. I dont really think the flow notes would be particularly helpful apart from learning the concept for the first time.

Lol I changed my entire learning strategy after reading this one ebook. I used to prepare for exams by producing a 6000 word document of notes and memorizing the contents word-for-word, now my strategy is totally different.
