Learning To Learn By Knowing Your Brain

Did you know that science has revealed what actions and circumstances make your brain learn more effectively? In this book, a scientist explains in a simple and very entertaining way how your brain learns and what you can do to take advantage of its full potential. Among other things, you will find out that: - Both people who are good at learning and those who are not can improve their performance if they use the right learning strategies: those that align with the way the brain learns best! - Most students do not know these strategies and those who spontaneously develop them gain a huge advantage without even realizing it. - Your brain is much more powerful than you realize in terms of its ability to learn. Every time you learn something, your brain changes its structure! When you learn about how the brain learns, you learn to learn!
