    About this audiobook

    Drs. Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski's popular Online course Learning How to Learn, based on Dr. Oakley's bestselling 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.

      This book is a MUST READ for all ages!!! I got so much out of it studying every chapter and memorizing it!! I am an avid reading and knowledge seeker always looking for ways to improve, learn new things and expand my mental limitless library I have of a brain ?. This book has changed forever how I read a book. I average 65-100 books a year the past 3 years but now it will be less because I will make sure these books Actual Stick using the INCREDIBLE instructions in this book. Sure this book seemed to be for kids but aren’t we all learning as beginners anyway. I have bought both audio and book on Amazon. I personally adore Scribd and it’s my go to. So happy they had your Audio here!!! A MUST HAVE AUDIO AND BOOK FOR ALL AGES!!! Changed my life as of 2021 . This year will be an even more well thought out success just by using these principles of LEARNING how to LEARN! Barb, as you like to be called, I want to say your voice is what made this book worth hearing over and over. I went back to each chapter multiple times. Please write more books and do more audios. Well written book

      What an excellent book. I read it during a flight from Sydmey to Tokyo and it was both easy to read and (because of the various tricks with constant revision), it was also easy to recall). I must say, Barbara captured me very early on with her personal anecdote about how she felt she couldn’t do maths or science but now is a scientist. Actually, they use such personal anecdotes very cleverly throughout. The book appears to be very well grounded in the current neurology of learning. Yet it comes with really practical suggestions.... such as ...”leave your iPhone in the next room”. And use the Pomodoro technique. I’m actually thinking of buying an actual physical Pomodoro timer because I can see that it’s a great idea. (Actually the pomodoro technique is not new to me.... nor are most of the other techniques but the really introduce them in such an interesting way as to make them very memorable.One exception: I found the description of interleaving confusing. It needs cleaning up. I eventually got the point that instead of just doing all the examples of , say, isosceles triangles.... it’s smart to throw in some examples from the other stuff you have done..... say... linear equations. The point being that it jolts the brain and stimulates the memory and makes both types of examples more memorable.I also loved the story by one of the authors about how he had avoided Chemistry but then enrolled in the high school chemistry class .... basically proving the point that you can learn new stuff. But also providing a lot of pointers about how to do it.I would highly recommend this book and have already given it to my son ... with some pressure to actually read it. Five stars from me

      Read this and gave it to Olivia-Grace to read. There is a lot of valuable information in this, that I think is perfect for teenagers, specifically high school and middle school age students. And Olivia-Grace starts Middle School next Monday, so I think its perfect timing for her to read it.

      It is a bit juvenile in some places and some of the things seem obvious and overly 'dumbed' down (for lack of better terminology; but that is to be considered who the audience is and its not horrible and its not the entire book either.

      A lot of this is things I've known before, but I think this book did a wonderful job of condensing that, and putting it all together and into a package for teenagers/youth, and done well enough to make it interesting, fun, and educational. Definitely a well read book and one I think many kids could use to learn a lot from. A lot of handy resources at the back too, from games, websites, to books, etc.

      Highly recommend.
