Learn Better by Ulrich Boser | Book Summary

Have you ever crammed for a test? If you have, then you probably remember
the grueling pressure of the all-nighter: that zombie-like haze of caffeine,
exhaustion, and nerves in which you frantically try to stuff your brain full of
as much information as possible. If you’re lucky, maybe you’ll remember
some of it for tomorrow’s test. Many of us have found ourselves in this
unenviable position, but we would never want to spend our lives learning in
this way! But unfortunately, if you have never been taught the best way to
learn, your entire educational experience will feel like cramming. Even if you
have all the time and study resources in the world, you’ll always feel as
though you’re desperately packing facts into your head and hoping
something sticks. That’s no way to live! But if that’s all you know, it’s no
surprise that many people come to hate learning and try to avoid it as much
as possible. And that’s why the author wrote this book: to remind everyone
that learning can be a pleasure instead of a chore. In fact, with the right tips,
you can not only enjoy learning-- you can become an expert on any subject!
So, over the course of this summary, we’ll explore the author’s top tips to help
you maximize your learning potential.
