Title: Learning How to Learn
Review: As an educator and Ph.D. memory researcher I was disappointed in the narrow focus of the book. I rated this two stars only because the techniques work, in a very narrow and limited sense and the reader has a huge amount of time. If you're merely looking to memorize a lot of information, data and not make application of it, then this is the book for you. However, if you, your students or children need to THINK, problem solve, and analyze, you will obtain only a very limited set of skills with this book. Teaching usable learning skills is far more broad and complex than this book represents, which seems to lean rather heavily at times on being a sales pitch for Lucas. I found the techniques old and not the break-throughs that were hyped.
Is the review positive or negative?
