By: Barbara Oakley PhD, Terrence Sejnowski PhD, Alistair McConville

Narrated by: Laural Merlington

Drs. Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski's popular Online course Learning How to Learn, based on Dr. Oakley's best-selling book A Mind for Numbers, has enrolled more than 1.8 million students from more than 200 countries. In this much needed follow-up to A Mind for Numbers, the authors teach kids and teens how to learn effectively at a time when they most need these skills.

Learning How to Learn teaches them about the importance of both focused concentration and letting their minds wander, how the brain makes connections between different pieces of information, the value of metaphors in developing understanding, why procrastination is the enemy of problem solving, and much more. Filled with application questions and exercises, this audiobook makes learning engaging and accessible.

Very good book

It's a good book to learn different learning techniques, however, probably very oriented to kids and teens instead of adults. I'm 28 years old and not too long ago I heard about Pomodoro technique in a very simple and precise way. In this book the author goes to the point after sneaking around for a while with different stories.

Great book to read, if you’re looking to improve you’re learning ability!

This book is a great read. There are a lot of take away for some one of any age. I’m 27 and I’m currently going back to school to become an engineer. This book has been an amazing resource for me. Learning to learn should be the first thing a person learns! Happy learning!

Fantastic!!

I know I'm reading it again!! Taught me some things I should have learned years ago!!

Good information

While good it should be updated. Some of the lectures the authors have done since the release of this book contain updated information and metaphors. I think the book should have these updates.

great book. I wish I had this when I wad in high school. A must for students and adults.
