Was a B- student before this. Always seemed to be missing 'something'. Learned that 60%+? of people are visual thinkers.

Started adding pictures to notes & reviewed immediately AFTER a lecture & things got easier.

Needed it in the '80s.

It was interesting to skim through. There are not as many pictures and cartoons in it as in his Brain-based books though. It was good though.

A simple to read guide on how to correctly study. An excellent primer for the middle-school student who now has a heavier course load than elementary school.

7/31/22 update. Read this book in order to provide "guidance" to my kids to help their study habits. I thought is was spot on and contained a lot of good advice. A very practical and helpful book to the young student.

This book had a lot of positive energy, but a lot of these tips are useless.
