Publisher's summary

Becoming a more effective learner and boosting your productivity will help you earn better grades - but it’ll also cut down on your study time. This is a short, meaty audiobook that will guide you through 10 steps to achieving those goals:

  • Pay better attention in class
  • Take more effective notes
  • Get more out of your textbooks
  • Plan like a general
  • Build a better study environment
  • Fight entropy and stay organized
  • Defeat procrastination
  • Study smarter
  • Write better papers
  • Make group projects suck less

Whether you’re in college or high school, this book will probably help you. But not if you’re a raccoon. I want to be very clear about that; if you’re a raccoon, please buy a different book. This one will do absolutely nothing for you. How did you even learn to read, anyway?

straightforward and some nice tips.

Nothing groundbreaking, but plenty of good info and great resources to take it further. I've followed CIG for some time and had read the book before, but it was nice to refresh during my workouts.

An honest take on this amazing book!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Not only was it full of good information and witty jokes (as with all the works of Thomas Frank), but it also really made a difference! One of the things I really wanted to work on was my ability to take notes while in a lecture, and to get better at active reading. When listening to this audiobook, I took notes the entire time! In doing so, I absorbed all of the information more efficiently, and actually discovered my own spin on note taking that I thoroughly enjoy. On another note, I believe this book is just long enough to give you all the information you need, but short enough to keep you interested (the condensed format really makes this a fantastic, and quick, read). I would recommend this to anyone who has an interest in working on themselves and being a lifelong learner. Surprisingly, I’d even recommend it to people who already watch his YouTube channel. Even though he talks about everything in this book on his channel, the order of which the information is in, and how it has been refined, makes this book an amazing compliment to his YouTube videos!

One of the best

this is abseloutly one of the best books to read if you want to improve as a student.
the advice comes from great research, and the personal experiences of the auther. And it doesnt hurt that it's spiced with Thomas humor.

Would read again

Really enjoyed listening to the book. Will consistently come back to this book since it was really helpful, inspiring and most of all motivating. Got my mind rolling on what I should do as my next step to not just become a better student, but a better learner and leader. Thank you so much.

Great Book! Good for long car rides!

I'm a college freshman and I live about 30 minutes from my school. I really got into Thomas's channel when I was in high school and I saw that he offered his book for free to his subscribers. After downloading the PDF, I quickly realized that I didn't have time to read another book on top of my textbooks, so I opted to get the audiobook version. This book is great to listen to on the way to school to get myself into the studious mindset, and I love seeing where I can apply what I learned in the morning throughout my day. Good read 10/10 would reccomend.

Concise and extremely valuable

The author, who also reads the book, is very a talented storyteller and fun to listen to. The advices are obvious, but put to the listener in a way that call for reflection and helps to put your mind in the right path.
I’m now also watching his YouTube channel, which focus on productivity and have great quality videos, as well.

Very Helpful!

My daughter and I listened to this book on the way to college!

It is the perfect length and the content is rich! I’m very hopeful that listening and talking about these things will help her have more confidence heading into her first year! Highly Recommend!
