Enhance your learning 🔭

Would you like to know how to learn and memorise better?

This wonderful book from author Barbara Oakley takes you along a motivating path to learning - not only for learning math and science but basically any subject. In order to better understand how we learn and for writing this book, Barbara Oakley has researched neuroscience and cognitive psychology.

This book therefore not only provides tips, tricks and tools on how to tackle any intimidating material but also looks at the way we memorise information and how working memory and long-term memory function.

This book includes helpful strategies to group information, recall what we've learnt and on how to memorising material more efficiently or on how to deal with procrastination.

Before becoming an engineering professor Barbara Oakley knew what it meant to be troubled by and struggle with math. Moving from a linguistic background on to a career in engineering, she has managed to retrain her brain towards math and science.

Learning to me is a great privilege and I think everyone who loves learning, will enjoy the strategies outlined in this book. I'm grateful my friendly colleague recommended it to me and I'm happy to share it here with my little project for SheCodes. :-)
