Title: Still the best book on study skills
Review: When I entered high school forty years ago, I was given this book, with the warning that school work was about to become less like play and more like adult work. This book helped me understand the difference between merely getting a job done and doing it well. It gave me the tools to study efficiently and to focus on the task at hand, abilities that have stood me in good stead ever since. But my response to one of the prior reviewers is this, gentle reader - the title says it all - there are no short cuts, cute tricks, diagrams. Life does not ever put the important stuff in bold print for you. Mr. Armstrong understood that studying is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. The book expresses the expectation that you, the student, must examine how you think and then develop your own discipline to learn how to learn.
