I would absolutely recommend the book that's mentioned at the end of the article:
"Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning by Peter C. Brown et al."
It's a great read for anybody who wants to continue learning new material. I'm one of the people who had very poor studying practices beforehand...
- roflmyeggo 12y agoMarked to read, thanks for the recommendation! Moonwalking With Einstein is also a good read, albeit more for pleasure and insight into our brains than any practical applications.
- thirdtruck 12y agoDitto on Moonwalking. I listened to the audio book and found its practical advice incredibly helpful.
- vladplatt 12y agoOut of curiosity, what new practices did you adopt after reading Moonwalking?
- thirdtruck 12y agoI've found the "Memory Palace" technique useful (tying items to memorize to specific places in familiar locations).
- sghodas 12y agoJoshua Foer (author of Moonwalking with Einstein) has a great TED talk too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6PoUg7jXsA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6PoUg7jXsA
