Description

The Surprising Truth about When, Where, and Why it Happens to Us. We're often told that restlessness, distraction, and ignorance are the enemies of success. But what if this approach is misguided? Science reporter Benedict Carey sets out to uncover the truth about how our brains absorb and retain information. He discovers that from birth, we learn quickly, efficiently, and automatically - but in our efforts to systematize learning, we've overlooked valuable tools like forgetting, sleeping, and daydreaming. Carey's search for answers reveals a wealth of strategies that make learning more a part of our everyday lives. Is there a better way to study than confining ourselves to designated areas? Can altering our routine improve recall? By exploring these questions, Carey offers practical advice on how to harness the power of our brains to learn more effectively. With this insightful book, you'll gain a new understanding of how learning works - and discover ways to make it more enjoyable and efficient.
