1.0 out of 5 stars More is Less., April 28, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book is superficial and is more about enumerating countless dimensions vaguely associated with training than learning itself. The author mentions six different dimensions related to learning. Only one of them is meaningful: Learning Style [Visual, Audio, Kinesthetic]. The five others are trivial. However, by throwing so many dimensions at you that are not so relevant, she dilutes her message immensely. These six different dimensions actually result in 432 possible styles of learning. This is just absurd, and renders her whole learning framework unusable. She gets through this maze by only touching the surface of each dimension, and never addressing a specific learning type across more than one dimension at a time. For instance, using her language how would a Goal-oriented, Visual, Global, Space-Oriented, Small Group, Think to Talk learning style person best learn. How would such a specific learner best take notes, prepare for a test, learn a new discipline. You will never know because this is one of the 432 learning types you can come up with. She will just share vague recommendations about how a Visual learner learns, or a Goal-oriented learner learns. So, you get these disconnected and superficial pieces of information. And, it is up to you to connect the dots. Good luck.

The author gets wrong the one single relevant learning dimension she mentions. She subdivides Learning Style along three sensory subgroups, when it should be four. Kinesthetic and Tactile are two different subgroups. Also, the test she gives in the book is way too short, and vague to give an accurate assessment of your own Learning Style.

Occasionally, her writing style is really boring. In one chapter, she emphasizes the learning power of practicing. She then lists about 10 insights on the subject. But, they were all saying exactly the same thing that practice takes time and is important.

Fortunately, there is a much better book on this subject: "How to Learn Anything Quickly" by Ricki Linksman. This book is everything the other book is not. It is relevant, and effective. It tests your learning style along two effective axes: Learning Style (Visual, Audio, Kinesthetic, and Tactile), and Brain Dominance (Left-brain, Right-brain). Thus, the author's framework includes a very manageable eight different specific learning style. The author devotes an entire chapter on each of these styles. By reading the one relevant to you [i.e. Visual Left-Brain], you will learn a lot about how to better absorb information, acquire knowledge and expertise in any field, get ready for a test. The author gets into practical details such as what style of note-taking will work best for you, or what kind of writing or project outline will help you out. In other words, this book really teaches you how to learn; unlike "Learn More Now."

If you want to study this subject further, I recommend all the excellent books by Howard Gardner, and Tony Buzan. Gardner is the developer of the Multiple Intelligence Theory. Buzan is the inventor of the Mind Mapping technique, a really amazing and fun learning tool. Michael Gelb has also written excellent books on this subject, including "How to Think like Leonardo da Vinci."

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn more about Learning More, May 20, 2004
Marcia Conner has done a terrific job pulling together and addressing a variety of concepts that affect how we learn. The book is not a hardcore, esoteric tome written to edify researchers; it is a most readable and enjoyable presentation of concepts for those who want to learn more about learning more. The exploration and explanation of various learning styles and types provides a gradual revelation of how your preferences and personality impact your learning. It makes for a fascinating journey of self discovery filled with "aha" moments. Marcia Conner is a bright, witty and insightful guide along the way.

Don't get me wrong, though. This book is not superficial or shallow. It provides pithy comments and suggestions that will expand your thinking and enhance your knowledge of learning in variety of contexts. You will come away with a better understanding of yourself and those around you. Then, whether in the role of a student, teacher or facilitator, you can make the adjustments needed so that you and others can Learn More Now.

1.0 out of 5 stars Most pointless book I have been forced to (almost) read, April 27, 2008
I also had to read this book for AMU. I can't believe that this book actually has 4 stars from user reviews. As noted by some here, this book offers nothing new. It basically tells you how you learn in about 100 different ways. I read the first chapter in its entirety, but after that I only read enough to get by in the course. The author goes into unecessary detail about how posture, scent, surroundings, etc help one learn. There are tons of surveys throughout the book so you can learn things such as if you learn better alone or with others. I think we all already know what we prefer and don't need pointless quizzes to tell us.
