If you're looking for concrete advice about how to become a better self-directed learner--and you don't want to read some 300-page tome in the process--then Jeff's book is a solid choice. He cites the most relevant psychology research (intrinsic motivation, deliberate practice) and practical tools for interest-led learning in a compact, quick read.

I bought the Kindle version, downloaded it, and read through the whole thing in one sitting! Great and useful info in a very easy-to-read format. I need to go back and review the homework Jeff suggested in several of the chapters and put them to work.

As a soon to be again college student I downloaded this book in hopes of getting the useful tools I will need to start college again. This book definitely helps me in this regard and I can think of many aspects of life where a book such as this is helpful. Highly recommended.

"10 Ways To Be a Better Learner" is a great little book for adult learning. It reminds us of a few key pointers we may have forgotten from our college and university days. It puts us in the right frame of mind to absorb the volumes of information that out lecturers insist on hurling at us :) Just kidding! I love learning new things don't you?
It's true that we all have to learn how to learn and this book will show you how to learn more efficiently.
I highly recommend this book to anyone young or old who are studying to better themselves.

This book gives specific ideas that are backed by research. Some of the topics were things that I knew, but had forgotten. The ideas are not cumbersome and neither is the book. I especially like that he put main ideas/ important thoughts on a separate page, but still included them in the text for better understanding.
