    Teach yourself anything – how to do it
    Good read for me. He shows a way to course one self to learn a subject without schools and teachers plotting the path of discovery. I’m older and my education was strictly controlled (content and timing) by the school – teachers and sometimes parents. (These days the parents try to control the content – but won’t get into that). Didn’t get along with the teachers which created problems with the parents then the school including my peers – the experience was third rate at best. Fortunately I picked up enough to run a small business and I wish I had this guide “The Science of Self Learning” as I had to add some education as -economics and self promotion-both from books and peers but basically followed a similar but rudimentary path Peter Hollins described in his book.Peter Hollins has written a guide on what to look for – what questions to ask – how to get stated and get into it. Tips on tracking progress and keeping on track. Recommend it

    Practical, Clear, and Worth the Read
    Alright, let me break it down for y’all — this book is like having a smart friend sit you down over coffee in the Quarter and say, “Here’s how you get it done.” The strategies are straightforward but backed by solid research, and the writing is clear enough that you can take what you learn and put it to work right away. I’ve got a master’s, and I still found new gems in here that made me rethink how I learn and retain information. Whether you’re diving into a new skill or brushing up on old ones, this is one of those books you keep on the shelf and actually use, not just display.

    Amazing and informative!
    Peter Hollins goes in depth to what Self-Learning is and isn’t, and provides great examples to bolster our understanding. The various techniques and perspectives he provides are second to none and is worth the time, money, and investment in practicing. Definitely worth the read!

    The book has a great information
    The information in this book from my personal perspective and opinion seem like missing more details about the subjects and highlights to keep the learning in a more beneficial way.

    Very well organized and thoughtful book about how to self-learn
    This was a very well written and organized book about self-learning. it pointed out several methods one can use to help one learn most subjects. However, the book could have used a bibliography. Also, while the summary of the chapters was good, it repeated the call for requesting a book review. No problem with this, but it appears the author just copied the paragraph from a paragraph written earlier in a section of the summaries without editing the tenses of the words. Personally, he only needed to mention this once and it would have avoided being redundant. However, overall I was pleased with the book. Most of the information was not new, but how he presented the material and its organization makes it for a good reference to have, especially for those wanting methods and strategies for how to teach yourself new material. Well, Pete, I hope this feedback helps you enhance your writing, which you love.

    The Foundational Tools to Becoming Your Best Self.
    Peter Hollins gives us a great layout of information, tools, and examples that greatly multiply your learning and self-directing skills. This book, in my opinion, has to be one of the most important books that I have read so far. By leveraging the skills and tools used in this book, I can become much more thorough in my knowledge and understanding of information… especially in the subjects of my own best interest.It’s time to rip out the destructive mindset, practices, and beliefs given by traditional education and embark on a path to becoming your best self by becoming the teacher and the student of your life.Thanks Peter.- Bruce P.

    Questo libro mi è piaciuto moltissimo perché finalmente ho fatto luce su un miglioramento personale che volevo raggiungere, ovvero , imparare a studiare leggendo e capendo tutto più velocemente.Negli anni scolastici mi sono sentito spesso inferiore e limitato, pur sapendo che nelle mie cose ero molto accurato e curioso. Ho sempre fatto fatica a studiare a casa e avevo difficoltà a prendere bei voti a scuola perché :1. non ero interessato2. non avevo un metodo3. non trovavo uno scopo o un’utilità nelle cose da imparareRicordo bene , al liceo Scientifico di Anagni, quando chiedevo alla professoressa il perché di una reazione tra elementi , mi rispose :- Perché è così e basta!-A matematica non riuscivo a trovare l’utilità pratica delle varie formule ed equazioni. Capii subito che dovevo studiare come il 95% dei compagni che andavano bene, a memoria, ma non avevo un metodo di studio e disciplina , neppure per imparare a memoria lo stretto necessario per passare l’interrogazione.Questo libro ha colmato le lacune che ho sempre avuto con lo studio :• mancanza di un metodo• mancanza di un piano• mancanza di disciplina• mancanza di obiettivi di studio aldilà del votoL’auto-formazione non ha nulla a che fare con l’educazione scolastica e con la tecnica giusta, posso studiare molto più in profondità gli argomenti che mi interessano maggiormente, senza limiti dovuti al dover studiare solo per la ricompensa (voto, prospettive per il futuro) ma per migliorare e conoscere cose nuove.omSe posso riassumere in poche righe i concetti chiave del libro scriverei :• prendere appunti è molto importante• interagire con i propri appunti e mettersi alla prova è l’unico modo per far durare nella memoria le cose apprese.• Ci sono molti metodi per prendere appunti , il metodo Cornell è tra i migliori perché permette di interagire e sintetizzare a parole proprie qualsiasi argomento di studio• imparare a leggere più veloce, capendo il testo è possibile se smetto di parlare nella mia mente• se leggo a voce o con la vocina mentale, sarò limitato a 400-500 parole al minuto, mentre con tecniche di lettura veloce, posso arrivare anche a 1000 e dimezzare il tempo che impiego a leggere e capire un libro.• Per leggere veloce , oltre ad usare solo gli occhi e non la voce, devo imparare a skippare parti non importanti e parole inutili.• Per avere successo nell’ autoapprendimento , bisogna avere disciplina e un piano d’azione studiato intelligentemente. Prendi spunto da Benjamin Franklin.• Ci sono due tipi di mentalità, quella limitata e quella della crescita. Quella limitata cerca di applicarsi solo su argomenti che conosce bene per non fare figuracce e non prova piacere ad apprendere cose nuove e ha il terrore del fallimento. Quella della crescita, di cui faccio parte io, sa che se si impegna può imparare tutto e diventare chi vuole, un fallimento non è altro che un tentativo andato male che va ripetuto diversamente.

    Un livre peu épais. L’ auteur expose les idées de façon structurée et méthodique de façon à faciliter tant la prise de notes que l’assimilation des concepts. C’est un cours vivant et dynamique. On se passerait volontiers des idées illustrées maintes et maintes fois. Disons que la répétition ancre le concept. Lecture édifiante et intéressante.

    Too many books out there but not all got a solid structure explaining why you should work a certain way. It is most of the time an advice on trying different methods and to see what could eventually work. In this book the explication is simple, you can even experience as you read, everything is detailed, straight to the point and explained in plain English. Looking forward to read other books by the same author.
