Very Helpful

The book was very interesting and not only explained some better ways to learn and study but it was also enlightening as to why some people see things differently based on the way they learn. The educational side of it was interspersed with anecdotes and examples from the author’s life. It was very enjoyable for a book about learning.

As an audio book the only downside was that I felt as some points I should be taking notes. There were great summaries at the end of each chapter similar to a text book. I would suggest to the author to look into the option to provide a brief pdf outline with the audio book as there were several lists and suggestions I wouldn’t mind having written down.

I was provided with a free copy of this audio book for my honest review. The views expressed here are entirely my own.

Interesting!

Lots of great ideas on how to acquire new skills. I knew or have heard most of what was in this book already, but this lays it out for you to easily understand. I recommend this to anyone who needs more knowledge in this subject.

A great tutorial on learning

This is my second book by Peter Hollins. The first was Build a Better Brain. The Science of Rapid Skill Acquisition is similar in that it combines the research of the "why" with the instructions to complete the "how". The
Science of Rapid Skill Acquisition is much more aggressive in what you should and should not do where as the Build a Better Brain was more academic. I strongly believe that the skills and methods the author writes about should be taught in the middle school level, if not earlier. How to learn is much more important than what too learn.
Russell Newton is a fantastic narrator. His voice and diction are well suited for this type of material.

Incredibly useful and interesting book!

I am listening to this book for the second time! Lots of interesting ideas on how to acquire new skills, and various methods so you can find the ones that best fit you. This is my second book by Peter Hollins and wow! I am already putting what I learned into practice, and highly recommend this this book. I wish I had this my high school year, would have changed my entire perspective on learning!!!!

Overall: I'm satisfied.

Well, as someone who is quite interested in personal development there wasn't something entirely new to me in this book, but still it was 4 hours well spend for me.
The information was legit, well-structured and told.
Narration was decent and I didn't felt lost anywhere.
It was good for me to refresh and reinforce my knowledge and I believe it would be a good book for people who haven't read much or made research on personal development before.

Very Beneficial, Recommended.

Thanks you Peter for those valuable ideas and information in this book regarding learning; it was very inspiring.

I was worried because in the first edition, one said that the Audio quality was owful. I did not see this problem in this recording and it was clear.

planning on learning a new skill? Read this first

This book gives a comprehensive breakdown of the science of learning. It's aimed at a broad audience so it is nice and easy to follow but covers all of the core concepts you need to know about to ensure you are learning effectively. Whether you want to learn Spanish, master the trombone or just get the most out of you revision for an exam this book will help you to achieve your learning goals. I'm off to listen again as, after all, repetition will help me to learn more thoroughly!
