The Art of Accelerated Learning by Selena Watts was a quick and fun read about proven strategies to help people learn faster and going above our self-perceived educational limitations. Watts is an educator but also struggled with the traditional educational system set in place. The one that doesn’t allow for individual learning types but everyone must learn the same way. However, this just doesn’t work for everyone and it’s time that classrooms and education, in general, should change to allow learners to grow within their own learning styles while actively practicing others. The concept is to accept our bodies, minds, and thus our own learning styles as part of us. To accept us for us in our educational endeavors is such a wonderful message. This includes experimenting with different learning styles, being aware of our emotions, taking notice of our learning environment, etc. Reading the book felt similar to a therapy session. One that gave an “Aha!” moment. We tend to think of these learning styles and theories for children and youth but once we become adults, we either forget or don’t think the same concepts will follow through. The chapter on speed reading was quick but really helpful. I got a few tips for myself and my students. I think Watts has a friendly, energetic writing style that made reading easy and digestible. The book is a great read for someone in the educational world either teacher, admin, or student. It could also help parents learn more about their own educational upbringing/ frustrations and how to help their own children on their educational journey. Going to keep this one in my tool kit for my future educational endeavors! And now that I’ve read this book from the learner’s point of view from a teacher’s background, I want to read Watts’ other books for teachers.

If you're looking for a comprehensive guide on how to learn quickly and effectively, The Art of Accelerated Learning is definitely worth checking out. The book is filled with tips and strategies on everything from speed-reading to memory techniques, all of which can be applied to any subject or topic. One of the things I liked best about this book was that it took a holistic approach to learning. Rather than focusing exclusively on one method or strategy, Davis takes into account the whole person - including their physical and emotional state - when recommending ways to improve learning. This makes the advice much more effective and achievable.

The Art of Accelerated Learning is also packed with on how to overcome common obstacles to learning, such as boredom, procrastination, and self-doubt. If you're struggling with any of these issues, Davis has some great tips for how to address them.

Overall, I found The Art of Accelerated Learning to be an extremely helpful resource for anyone looking to improve their learning skills. The strategies and tips are applicable to people of all ages and backgrounds, so no matter what your situation is, there's something in this book for you. Highly recommend!

Make the most of your time!

I was interested when I came across this book because I never want to stop learning, but often find myself with a lack of time, which leads to me forgetting the little that I’ve managed to study.
Looking at my partner, who spouts stories and facts that he learned fifteen years ago in detail, and who picks up language faster than anyone I know, I wondered where I could improve.
I think we’ve all heard of some method of retaining information—whether it’s to listen to recordings in your sleep, chew gum, study right when you wake up, or right before bed.
This novel is helpful because it lists and explains strategies for speed reading and then retaining the information. It also details reminders we may not think about, like brain cognitive and physical well-being and its impact on our learning.
With all of the knowledge and resources (focusers like music) at our disposal nowadays, it’s definitely worth making the most of it.

Selena Watts has written the 4th and last installment in the Teaching Today series. Each of these books provide teaching tricks, tips, strategies and tools for unlocking teachers’ true potential and in this way engage their students through the best teaching possible.
In this case, she has developed a narrative to help teachers again, but mostly learners, be more proactive and acquire and digest information in a faster and better way. In her own words, she has done so through trial and error, until she came up with The Art of Accelerated Learning. She places herself in the place of a teacher, but also in that of a student and she digs into the different learning styles and how those styles can be catered for so as to be able to absorb information as a sponge.
Insightful and inspirational, this book is one that must be read by all, especially in an era when we want everything to be fast and immediate. Recommended!

The Art of Accelerated Learning: Proven Scientific Strategies for Speed Reading, Faster Learning and Unlocking Your Full Potential (Teaching Today Book 4) by Selena Watts isn't just for the person wishing to absorb information better. But this book could be a vital tool for teaching others and understanding different forms of learning patterns. I found the last chapter fascinating as another way to feed our brains.

This book excites me! Selena Watts puts in words what I had to apply when I home-schooled a child that learned differently than all the other children. I had to learn how to teach material from several angles until I found what clicked with him. Reading The Art of Accelerated Learning, I understood how I could grasp what I am learning easier. I enjoyed reading this book. The author is a master at explaining techniques, and I can't wait to apply them.

A topic as technical sounding as accelerated learning can seem off-putting, especially as it seems to involve relearning everything we have previously understood about learning in general. However, in The Art of Accelerated Learning, Selena Watts presents the history, benefits, and best methods in which to learn and implant accelerated learning in one’s day to day life in an engaging and thought-provoking manner.
A comprehensive guide, clear definitions, practices, and examples are given making the subject seem attainable and worthwhile as an endeavor to undertake. It isn’t another stuffy how-to book that leaves one more bored than enlightened, but a fascinating introduction into an entirely different world of learning and increasing one’s knowledge in general.

Selena Watts is a teacher that was wondering how to create a learning process that included practical advice on how to teach. So, she went ahead and wrote 4 books that explain several topics within the teaching process. In this case, the book “The Art of Accelerated Learning: Proven Scientific Strategies for Speed Reading, Faster Learning and Unlocking Your Full Potential” will teach the reader a way to speed up the learning process.
This is a very good book; I’ve been looking for some advice on how to manage my own classes, so I decided to give it a shot and it paid off! Watts was able to use her self-experience to write down a very informative guide. I highly recommend this to nowadays teachers searching for a better way to give classes!

Concise and educational reader

Learning is achieved through different paths and can occur in different ways. I would say there are as many ways of learning as people in this world. For this reason, I am of the opinion that the book titled “The Art of Accelerated Learning” by Selena Watts can help more than one person.

The book is attractive from the cover to the inside. It is tightly organized, which was appealing to my eyes and helped my understanding; and it contains interesting information and celebrated authors that confirm that the message is accurate.

I recommend this book to those people keen on learning.

I haven’t found many books as interesting and useful as The Art of Accelerated Learning written by Selena Watts. Learning how to learn - although it may sound like playing up on words - is not something simple; we all have different learning styles and pace, but we can improve this last one with the content of this book.

The author is really clear and concise, in fact it is a very short book, great for checking from time to time what we need. I really did not know there could be a way of speeding the learning process but after reading this book I was amazed; isn’t this what every student needs? For me, it is! So, I certainly recommend reading it!

"The Art of Accelerated Learning by Selena Watts is an educational read that offers advice on the basics of improving your learning skills. It teaches you about what you need in order to maintain strong brain power, including remembering information, remembering names, good habits to have when studying, and how to study for tests or exams.

This book is great when it comes to advice on learning in school. It talks about both the basics of your education and more advanced things like taking standardized tests and applying for scholarships or jobs. I thought that this book did a really good job at breaking things down in to simple, easy-to-understand concepts. It also offers some really good examples of how certain forms of learning or studying can be helpful in one way or another. I think that this is a great book for both high school students and college students alike."
