5.0 out of 5 stars Compact, Actionable, and Insightful June 5, 2012

By Blake Boles

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.
