About David Butler

David Butler is a best-selling author who has always had a fascination with the success mindset. As far back as 3rd grade he was curious as to how people learned. This led him to wonder why teachers taught the way they did. Why did math involve so much memorization? Why did reading require so much recitation? Why was history so full of names and dates?

Partly from what he perceived as his own poor memory, he looked for deeper, conceptual understandings of new information, as a way to make the information stick better.

As a parent, he found this conceptualization method of learning also helped his children to understand the world better, and made learning more enjoyable. It also gave them an independent mindset and a more aggressive interest in learning than the typical techniques of simply memorizing and regurgitating information passed down by adult experts.

Now that David is retired and his children have grown, he's had time to put these ideas into words and share them with others. But this has been a two-way street, as the feedback and reviews from readers has helped him understand much better the real power of a success mindset -- which seems very much associated with independent thinking; thinking and learning for yourself, not accepting facts unless they truly make sense to you, and chasing your interests by reading all you can.
