Study Skills: Discover How to Easily Learn Anything in the Most Effective & Time Efficient Ways Possible

The information in the book about study skills was valuable to me and made it enjoyable. I no longer go to school, but I find that life is a learning experience and in business, that is particularly true. You have to keep studying and learning in order to keep ahead of the pack. This book explains methods of study that make retention and finding what you need to find easy to do.

I think I would compare it to another one of the author's books called Competitive Strategy mainly because you have to have that competitive attitude in order to succeed in learning. Some of the tactics used in competition can be applied to study skills and, at the same time, some of the methods of study can be used in competition. The books go well together

Joshua Mackey never gives a bad performance. I think he could take a boring book, and this one was not boring, and make it sound great. His voice inflection is wonderful and keeps your interest going. I'll admit, I listened to this book after only have about 3 hours of sleep at night, and Mr. Mackey's voice did not put me to sleep. He energized me and made me enthusiastic about study skills.

Treating learning, especially when in school, like you are in a business. I wish I had thought about that when I was in college because I would have gone much further and my grade would have been better. The book tells you to treat your education career like a career. Take it seriously and try to get ahead as much as you can. It stresses taking leadership in classes, like being lead person in group projects. This book was about 30 years too late for me, but if you are in school now, it would benefit you to listen to it.

This book has so much valuable information it is hard to list it all. The one thing I did find interesting was how to listen effectively. You sit in lecture after lecture in school and your brain doesn't take it all in. This book helps you to discern what is important in a lecture and how to retain the information. It also shows you how to really follow directions, which is something most people don't do. They do not truly read the instructions do not do a task totally right. This helped me a great deal in business and I wish I would have read this when I was in school.

This is much more than a book on how to study. It includes all aspects of academic learning, from how to choose your classes to what to do when you get a teacher who is hard to learn from.

Along the way, all the related aspects of study are covered. I was reminded that a schedule (for study as well as sleeping) can enhance my recall, and that it's important to include brain breaks while studying. This book affirmed much that I am doing right and gave me additional ideas for how to study smarter. I would recommend this book for professionals who want a way to "study smarter" as well for students. it would make a nice gift.

I actually read this on a friend's account and decided to buy it for a personal reference. I like the suggestions brought forth in this book for learning study skills. I have been a lifelong student, though I'm not in school currently, and additional tips on how to study so that you retain the information you need and don't hold on to the things you don't need are always needed. I recommend this book as a handy resource to college students and high school students, too. And if you are asked to take tests for promotions at work, this would also be a great book to have.

I recently began grad school, and after years of being away from the academic world, I was struggling with cultivating a steady and productive means of studying. My grades began to reflect my poor study habits. I had to do something. This book was the answer to my woes. I learned how to set up an area that is beneficial to studying, how to be self-disciplined, a skilled manager of time and much more. Great book. Highly recommended.

I just started a difficult section of my graduate program, and I’m starting a few courses that are extremely technical. It has been a while since I’ve really had to study, and it is important to me that I keep my grades up in my program. This book has a lot of great tips for students of any level. Even as a grad student, I found this book to be extremely helpful. The one piece of advice that has really stuck with me is to treat my classes like my career. I’m going to school full-time, and while I am working as a graduate research assistant as well, the bulk of my work is actually coursework. I think that if I change my attitude a little, and employ a few other tips from this book, I will make it through these technical courses with my 4.0 GPA intact!

This book has given me ways to study that I have not thought of before in my life. It has helped me improve my grades and should do the same for you. Pick up this book and listen to it and pass your next test or exam!

Absolutely not.

No

The narrator was good, the content was not.

All of them. Waste of time.

This is general knowledge, not practical ways to accelerate learning.

We all at some point wind up needing to have great study skills, not just in school but also for things like taking skills tests that could be required for a job or taking that written exam for getting a driver's license. This book teaches you lots of different ways to get that studying done efficiently and effectively, so that you can use it towards whatever you need to, but it's also great if you just want to gain more knowledge and are finding yourself forgetting things soon after learning them.
