The Science of Self-Learning focuses not only on learning, but what it means to direct your own learning. Anyone can read a book, but what about more? You will learn to deconstruct a topic and then construct your own syllabus and plan. Gathering information, initial research, having a dialogue with new information - unlock these skills and you will unlock your life.

Most people have multiple careers in their lives. Self-learning is how you keep up and adapt.

The only thing that is given in life is that it will change. Seasons change. Moods change. You will change. Whatever happens, you will need to adapt to your new circumstances. Survival of the fittest isn’t just something that exists in science textbooks - it’s what happens in every phase of your life. The ability to learn is what determines whether you sink or swim.

This is a book that give you tips on how to better analyze the information to any subject and, how to pay more attention to what you are reading. This book also has some good motivational strategies to make you more productive. It starts kind of slow but if you keep reading you will be satisfied.

Value full an enjoyable book

At times the book feels tedious and sinuous, but that could be the point. If you are beginning your self-learning voyage, or if you are at present involved in the world of self learning, and find yourself in murky confusion. This is a good book, leading the self learner towards how to deal with obstacles that a person can come across or may already be experiencing. Albeit, the book is essentially for people who are beginning self learners, but without hesitation, I recommend it to those who pursue learning, and seek a more organized way of accomplishing their interest.
