Most practical of all

So many self help books give general platitudes that mean nothing. This book has given concrete tidbits to enact that make the objectives pop !

Great concise info on how to self-study

The information presented was concise and to the point. Not a lot of filler, and a short read with lots of actionable info.

table of content and details in chapters

This book has great content. it was rather brief in some of the key concepts and chapters, secondly the table of contents is empty. it will be nice to know what is in each chapter before reading. this was part of what I learned in the book.

Very Useful Information!

Filled with lots of good and useful information about self-learning and different techniques to develop or enhance self- learning.

So freaking helpful

This book has given me so prospective I wouldn’t thought of on my own. It has helped me with organizing my topics, interacting with the material I now read and increased my ability to take better notes.
Totally recommend this book to anyone wanting to get more of their learning time.

Very informative!

Overall good. Everything was explained in great detail. Ready to apply in practical applications.

Insightful

Great book! , taught me some study habits I intend to employ. I especially liked the tips on speed reading

Well written, informative.

Overall, this book is well written, very personal. I feel like the author is talking to me. The information is informative, and very easy to comprehend in general. Definitely should check this out if you want to become a efficient self teacher.

Excellent book for giving you the confidence to learn something you never thought you were capable of.

I read this book because I'm going back to school at age 32 and I needed some kind of guidance to help me learn smoother and without breaking myself apart in the process. Learning new things at a later age can be exhausting, exactly how the book states but that fear of uncertainty or failure is temporary if you don't give up on yourself. This book helped me reclaim my intellectual competence and gave me more confidence. We can't rush the process of learning, as the author states. We have to better ourselves in increments which will eventually construct the bigger picture.

Worth listening too twice for me

This was my first audible book and I am going to do the trial period and see how it goes. Anyway I thought this book was very helpful and insightful
