About this title

Review

This book by Pete Hollins is the real deal and teaches you how to really learn in an accelerated manner. It's how to process info, condense it, make it stick, and use it.

The science of accelerated learning starts from the beginning and how we must shape our mindsets to be geared for learning, fertile as he puts it. Then he talks about the three types of factors that can make or break us: subconscious psychological, conscious psychological, and environmental. It was a great breakdown and the further breakdowns at the end of each chapter with the takeaways were priceless. This book is 2 legit to quit, I swear. - Reader

Needed a refresher in learning because I wanted to get better at my hobbies (guitar and swimming). Lots of good stuff here. Particularly enjoyed the bit about how 80/20 applies to language learning and becoming an expert in something. The bit about language learning reminded me of how Tim Ferriss claims to have learned how to tango, by learning what theimportant parts were and mastering those first. Makes sense to me. Also really enjoyed the chapter about learning/teaching and how they further each other. There is just a lot of clarity that is lost if you don'thave to teach, even yourself, and as Feynman says, to find your blind spots - Reader

Awesome book on learning, designing for learning, and creating a good mental and  physical environment for basically what is accomplishing your goals. As the author notes, learning is what unlocks your life, though it might not be what gets you there, that's okay. Relays lots of helpful info on the memory structure, how to use that for your own purposes, and how to really get the most out of what you come across and not forget it instantly. - Reader
