A surprisingly simple way for students to master any subject--based on one of the world's most popular online courses and the bestselling book A Mind for Numbers
A Mind for Numbers and its wildly popular online companion course "Learning How to Learn" have empowered more than two million learners of all ages from around the world to master subjects that they once struggled with. Fans often wish they'd discovered these learning strategies earlier and ask how they can help their kids master these skills as well. Now in this new book for kids and teens, the authors reveal how to make the most of time spent studying.
We all have the tools to learn what might not seem to come naturally to us at first--the secret is to understand how the brain works so we can unlock its power. This book explains:
* Why sometimes letting your mind wander is an important part of the learning process
* How to avoid "rut think" in order to think outside the box
* Why having a poor memory can be a good thing
* The value of metaphors in developing understanding
* A simple, yet powerful, way to stop procrastinating
Filled with illustrations, application questions, and exercises, this book makes learning easy and fun.

生动活泼的引导教学,其中有些比喻方式和互动模式对沟通很有启发意义。尽管主要是面向低龄读者,可是内容对成年人也是通用的,甚至还有警醒的意义。非常建议推广给小孩子。

相见恨晚,很多道理我都懂,但是串起来更加make sense了。比如身心健康和学习能力是相辅相承的,有好的学习方法更需要有健康的身心底子。好好睡觉、好好吃饭是基础,在此之上再加上active recall和各类奇巧淫技,才能学通并建立牢固的长期记忆。全书着重介绍记忆和学习的生理性原理,然后教读者顺着这个原理来学习,哪还有不通的道理呢?不会学习是因为我们不够了解自己罢了。有声书听起来很快,因为本来就... 相见恨晚,很多道理我都懂,但是串起来更加make sense了。比如身心健康和学习能力是相辅相承的,有好的学习方法更需要有健康的身心底子。好好睡觉、好好吃饭是基础,在此之上再加上active recall和各类奇巧淫技,才能学通并建立牢固的长期记忆。全书着重介绍记忆和学习的生理性原理,然后教读者顺着这个原理来学习,哪还有不通的道理呢?不会学习是因为我们不够了解自己罢了。有声书听起来很快,因为本来就是写给中学生的,没有什么生僻复杂词。 (展开)

学完了mooc,也读完了这本书,本质上是对自己的学习方法提供了一些理论基础,书中大部分的观点因为有自己的亲身体会我是计较认同的。推荐看英文原版,不为别的,就是因为里面除了专业词汇之外,其它用词用句都特别简单,初中的词汇量基本就够了。
