What if almost everything we have been told about learning is wrong? And what if there is a way to achieve more with less effort? From an early age, it is drilled into us: learning is about self-discipline. We are told we must confine ourselves to solitary study areas, turn off the music and retain a strict routine if we are to ace that test, memorize that presentation or nail that piano recital. But in How We Learn, Benedict Carey shows how some of the qualities we think of as our worst enemies - laziness, ignorance, distraction - can actually work in our favour. Filled with powerful, often thrillingly counter-intuitive wisdom, stories and practical tips, How We Learn shakes up everything we thought we knew about how our brains absorb and retain information, and gives us the tools to reach our fullest potential in every walk of life.
