Publisher's summary

Becoming a more effective learner and boosting your productivity will help you earn better grades - but it’ll also cut down on your study time. This is a short, meaty audiobook that will guide you through 10 steps to achieving those goals:

  • Pay better attention in class
  • Take more effective notes
  • Get more out of your textbooks
  • Plan like a general
  • Build a better study environment
  • Fight entropy and stay organized
  • Defeat procrastination
  • Study smarter
  • Write better papers
  • Make group projects suck less

Whether you’re in college or high school, this book will probably help you. But not if you’re a raccoon. I want to be very clear about that; if you’re a raccoon, please buy a different book. This one will do absolutely nothing for you. How did you even learn to read, anyway?

Very Helpful!

My daughter and I listened to this book on the way to college!

It is the perfect length and the content is rich! I’m very hopeful that listening and talking about these things will help her have more confidence heading into her first year! Highly Recommend!

Very good narration!

Having this be narrated by the author makes a huge difference! He does a great job of adjusting for audiobook listeners and using tone and sarcasm where he intended.
Book was also very helpful and full of realistic tips and tactics.

A Once Year Read

As a student striving to fix their GPA after a freshmen year of a new reality, this book has given me a very easy, and clear understanding of the bare minimum I can do.

If you simply follow the steps in this book you will have at least straight Bs no matter what.

Good luck, you can do it!

Perfect and Realistic

The audio book is short and sweet but gives tons of information that is easy to digest. Frank presents the information realistically and is down to Earth. While listening I begun to use the steps immediately and my life improve drastically from just listening to about 20-30 minutes. If you want to be a better student, listen to this.

Easy to follow, lots of great resources to use in my own life. I would recommend this to any college student to read before going to college

An honest take on this amazing book!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Not only was it full of good information and witty jokes (as with all the works of Thomas Frank), but it also really made a difference! One of the things I really wanted to work on was my ability to take notes while in a lecture, and to get better at active reading. When listening to this audiobook, I took notes the entire time! In doing so, I absorbed all of the information more efficiently, and actually discovered my own spin on note taking that I thoroughly enjoy. On another note, I believe this book is just long enough to give you all the information you need, but short enough to keep you interested (the condensed format really makes this a fantastic, and quick, read). I would recommend this to anyone who has an interest in working on themselves and being a lifelong learner. Surprisingly, I’d even recommend it to people who already watch his YouTube channel. Even though he talks about everything in this book on his channel, the order of which the information is in, and how it has been refined, makes this book an amazing compliment to his YouTube videos!

Excellent tips

Loved it. Great tips that I could have used years ago, but I will still use with modifications as I go into trade school. There were helpful reminders of concepts I forget to implement.

I suppose I could relate easily because I'm a nerd...and a gamer. Might want to get a second opinion 🤔

Awesome book!

Each step is well-explained and based on stuff university students actually go through and have to deal with in our academic life. Love it.
