Does anyone here apply the lessons taught in this book?
i accidentally left this book in the bathroom of a sushi restaurant and when i went back to retrieve it someone had placed it directly in the toilet
I actually plan to read it soon, I started with "Learning How to Learn" by Barbara Oakley, the tldr is>Interleaving subjects/activities>Scanning texts for keywords/main ideas before jumping straight in, asking questions about the text and looking for answers as you read>Active recall, spaced repetition, pomodoro technique>Memorization techniques>Deliberate practice (avoid spending too much time on material that you already know)>Impact of sleep, diet and exercise on learningit was a decent and quick read, I don't implement all the tips outlined there but I found most of them useful and I have been experimenting with them for a while now
>>25337239Is this book about sex?
>>25337346Yes. So you wouldn't get it.
>>25337274This is all fine and well but honestly you could achieve this ""naturally"" by skimming, fixing a question, absorbing the material within the framework of this question and then writing an essay on how the book answers it. I personally haven't tried the essay method yet but it seems like it would tie the book better in your mind cohesively instead of asking fragmented questions during the read. On top of that essay allows you to tie the material you already know better into what you are learning IMO
>>25337239I do. In general all the techniques simply require active effort, so it's not a hack.I also read A Mind for Numbers.
