Publisher's Summary
Learning things on your own isn’t hard. You’ve just been doing it wrong. Want to get it right? Here’s how….
After years of standard education, you may think that you could acquire or hone skills the way you did there. Unfortunately, you may be mistaken.
That’s because standard education taught you how to pass tests. But it didn’t teach you how to think.
It didn’t teach you the tips and tricks to actually retain what you’ve read or written in all those years.
It didn’t teach you how to dive into the waters of your interests and arise fully transformed with newfound knowledge that actually stuck.
How many times have you been excited to share something you read, only to have the concepts slip away from you like an elusive morning mist?
How many times have you taken copious notes at each lecture or meeting, only to end up looking down at disorganized handful of scribbles in your hand?
Being thrilled to learn something new is natural. Unfortunately, so is forgetting.
The scientifically plotted rate at which you’re expected to do this is called the Forgetting Curve. It is the increasing rate at which we lose information once we don’t make the effort to retain it.
Neuroscientists Jaap Murre and Joeri Dros confirmed in their 2015 study that the steepest drop occurs within 24 hours of us learning something new.
You may tell yourself, “I don’t have a good memory! It’s hopeless! I’ll forget no matter what I do!”
However, remembering what you learned goes beyond your memory.
There are core skills you need that will support, even augment your memory.
The correct way to read is one. The ability to critically assess and take notes is another.
Here’s a small peek at what you’ll learn from the Self-Learning Mastery book bundle:
- How the formal education system has set you up for failure on your self-learning journey
- Navigating self-learning terrain without getting lost with these four ways to identify and set your learning goals
- Why reading books still matters in the digital age
- Your core learning style and how to pick the right note-taking technique for you
- Why when coming to learning, fear is the other “F” word
- How to ask a book questions
- The surprising answer to “Is it better to take notes by laptop or by hand?”
- Discouragement… How to avoid the “D” word and why it can mean the death of all learning
- And much, much more!
The most important thing about this book bundle is that it won’t just dump information onto you.
There are exercises to improve your new skills and tips to practice and improve what you’ve learned.
Self-Learning Mastery can stand by you throughout your entire progress.
Everyone can benefit from better self-learning. Who doesn’t want to remember more of what they learned? Who doesn’t want to do better at work or school?
As a self-learner, you’ll be following in the footsteps of Leonardo Da Vinci, William Blake, Abraham Lincoln, Agatha Christie, and Albert Einstein to name a few.
