Summary

Education can be enriching and transformative. It can also be downright excruciating—even demoralizing. When it comes to learning, why are some of us lovers and some of us haters?

Welcome to the world of educational psychology, which uses science to explore what causes people to engage and learn, and what we can do to make learning opportunities more enjoyable and impactful. Spoiler alert: Teachers can only do so much. Students, too, must take control of their learning. Unfortunately, many of us never, ahem, learned the skills to do just that.

Enter Tesia Marshik, a specialist in educational and developmental psychology. Her eye-opening Audible Original, Learning How to Learn, teaches you how to apply research-based tactics to improve your learning in any context, whether you’re in a typical classroom setting, pursuing a professional development opportunity, or working your way toward accomplishing almost any personal goal imaginable. By challenging basic assumptions about learning, you’ll develop effective strategies for studying smarter, staying focused, taking notes, learning online, and dodging the common pitfalls that keep so many of us from growing into our full potential.

Think you’re not a math person, or no good at photography, or too old to learn a new language, or that you simply can’t bake to save your life? Think again.

Motivating and positive

This is something for literally everyone, young or old. The material consists of things most of us kind of already learned from life experience, and some of it just plain obvious, but it is still a nice refresher and it's just encouraging and motivating to listen to it.
The narrating voice is not my favorite, but I don't have complaints either.
It was kinda funny how one of the tips was literally suck up to your instructors. Building personal connections, they called it. For opportunities and additional material 😄
And the book kind of assumes you have resources available, such as access to libraries, teachers, textbooks, material and such to aid your learning and provide you with places you can study in. So it assumes you are pretty fortunate.

Could recommend to others.

Each chapter not too long at just the right length. Content is well structured easy to follow. Helpful suggestions definitely can put in to use. Would recommend to anyone who wants to get better at learning.

Some Useful Ideas

While some of this book's contents might be regarded as common sense, or the new common sense shall we say as some previously common attitudes would contradict it, there are several useful study tips clearly backed by research. It's useful and motivating to know you're undertaking the most advantageous methods.

Well structured and interesting

I loved the bitesize structure of this series and the analogies used to help embed the learning. My favourite part was where she debunked learning styles and the way she explained that. Great!
