About this listen

To most of us, learning something "the hard way" implies wasted time and effort. Good teaching, we believe, should be creatively tailored to the different learning styles of students and should use strategies that make learning easier.

Make It Stick turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. Many common study habits and practice routines turn out to be counterproductive. Underlining and highlighting, rereading, cramming, and single-minded repetition of new skills create the illusion of mastery, but gains fade quickly. More complex and learning come from self-testing, introducing certain difficulties in practice, waiting to re-study new material until a little forgetting has set in, and interleaving the practice of one skill or topic with another. Speaking most urgently to students, teachers, trainers, and athletes, Make It Stick will appeal to all those interested in the challenge of lifelong learning and self-improvement.

Came to know of this book through Ali Abdaal and honestly I'm impressed.
This book is all you need in terms of study strategies that'll take you quite far in terms of your potential.I don't know if I'd like to describe "potential" in sort of a limiting fashion ,but In a way that we humans are capable of learning anything with the right strategies and one's own potential is set by him/herself and not by our peers.
Would Recommend to all.

Narrator's voice was engaging. Content is clear and simple. However the writers have included too many anecdotes. I wonder if read in a book they would lighter. Overall a good listen for anyone in post graduate to a continuous learning philosophy.
