Story
Self-learning is characterized as a procedure by which people step up, with or without the help of others, in diagnosing their adapting needs, detailing learning objectives, distinguishing human and material assets for learning, and assessing learning outcomes. Self-contemplating is a learning strategy where understudies direct their very own considering, outside the study hall and without direct supervision. Since understudies can assume responsibility for what (and how) they are learning, self-study can be a truly significant route for some understudies to learn.

In Ungifted, cognitive psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman - who was relegated to special education as a child - sets out to show that the way we interpret traditional metrics of intelligence is misguided. Kaufman explores the latest research in genetics and neuroscience, as well as evolutionary, developmental, social, positive, and cognitive psychology, to challenge the conventional wisdom about the childhood predictors of adult success. He reveals that there are many paths to greatness, and argues for a more holistic approach to achievement that takes into account each young person’s personal goals, individual psychology, and developmental trajectory.
