'In a way that is lively, provocative, and even entertaining, the author provides students with an easily digestible guide to what cognitive-science research has to say about how to study-and why that differs so markedly from how students typically think they should study.' - Robert A. Bjork. Distinguished Research Professor. University of California, Los Angeles. Past President, Association for Psychological Science.
'Imagine the ideal academic advisor, who knows all of the tricks of the trade and is happy to take the time to guide you. Now make that advisor not only deep and wise, but also very funny. If such an advisor exists, it is probably Dr. Penn. This book is a marvelous tutorial on how to succeed as a student and scholar. It is steeped in the author's up-to-date knowledge of numerous scientific literatures, and it does a remarkably good job of distilling what is most important and explaining clearly how to use this material to good end. This book is about much more than effective studying-it is also about functioning effectively in a wide range of situations, from academe to business. I recommend it with enormous enthusiasm.' - Professor Stephen M. Kosslyn, President and CEO of Foundry College and former founding dean and Chief Academic Officer of the Minerva Schools at the Keck Graduate Institute.
'One of psychology's unsung gifts to the world is evidence-based advice on how to understand and remember material. Dr. Penn's book is an excellent invitation to these fascinating and enormously practical discoveries.' - Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and the author of How the Mind Works and Enlightenment Now.
'A compendium of excellent advice, comprehensively backed up by sound experimental evidence, and engagingly written.' - John Radford is Emeritus Professor in the School of Psychology, of which he was the founding Head, at the University of East London. He is a Fellow and Honorary Life Member of the British Psychological Society.
"This book is just perfect for the student (and teacher) who wants to improve upon their learning and school experience. It is a text that will be used, over and over again, as the reader advances through their degree of study... Add this one to your list of books to be read. You won't be sorry." -- Blake Harvard, AP Psychology Teacher at James Clemens High School, Madison, US (TheEffortfulEducation.com, full review can be read here -- https://theeffortfuleducator.com/2020/04/29/brtpoes/).
