The Little Guide to Not Being Dumb: How to stop making excuses and actually learn!

by Elise Loyacano Perl, Dalan Decker (Illustrator)

"I never thought a book about how to learn more effectively would be so enjoyable. My son (14) and I were laughing as I read it out loud. Now he is upstairs with his copy." (Trudy Castillo Leal, entrepreneur) You want to learn effective study habits, but you have the attention span of a weevil. Thankfully, Elise has years of experience helping people just like you. This book is short and sweet on purpose, and in the course of a few "chapter-ettes" you will cover how you can - Increase your chances of even starting a study session at all (Turning a Mountain into a Molehill) - Improve your chances of finishing what you started (Getting Crap Done) - Promote better studying without even studying at all (You Snooze, You Don't Lose) - Learn HOW to ask for help instead of wasting everyone's time - And laugh along the way Get a fast start on becoming a student - or just a weekend academic - who learns while still having a life. A native of Puerto Rico, Elise Loyacano Perl works as a teacher and private tutor and has spent years honing her skills as a learner. She holds a joint BA/MA in French literature from Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, where she graduated summa cum laude.
