Uno de los mejores libros que he leído sobre educación y he leido muchos. Para un tema que puede ser etéreo, consigue explicar muy bien una serie de consejos muy concretos, bien pensados y ensayados. El autor se lo ha trabajado muchísimo, un libro modélico con muchos detalles para que no pierdas el hilo y la visión de conjunto y mantenerte motivado. La idea central es que, para aprender, pienses de manera eficaz, porque únicamente aprendemos pensando; y el libro te da misiones concretas para mantenerte pensando en la materia de estudio.Otra cosa que te asombrará de este libro es la minuciosidad con que cubre TODOS los aspectos del rendimiento académico. No solo te dice cómo estudiar para asimilar genuinamente la materia, para lo que emplea más de 10 capítulos, sino que te dice cómo preparar los exámenes, cómo afrontar los mismos, y hasta cómo redactar los trabajos. Todo ello sin desfallecer en ningún momento en cuanto a calidad y precisión.Una persona que trabaje este libro, e interiorice sus técnicas, siendo buen estudiante, multiplicará su rendimiento en pocos meses. A nuestro sistema educativo le vendría muy bien conocer todas estas propuestas y me asombra que ni siquiera esté traducido al español, y que no tenga al menos 50 opiniones de 5 estrellas. Curiosamente es un libro de 1993, pero cuando se trata de la mente humana y de cómo aprendemos, nada ha cambiado. En mi opinión, el Sr. Adam Robinson debería ser mundialmente famoso.Si lees el libro o consigues que tus hijos lo lean, será la mejor inversión que habrás hecho en toda tu vida.

Titolo datato ma il materiale è completamente attuale e di taglio pratico. Consigliato a studenti delle scuole medie o superiori e anche per universitari. Il metodo cyber learning è unico e in più include il segreto per il successo dell’approccio the mind shift. Senza cambiare modo di pensare, il nostro abito mentale è difficile migliorare drasticamente. Di più recente pubblicazione ma sulla stessa linea di pensiero sono i testi di Barbara Oakley: learning how to learn e mindshift. Non è mai troppo presto imparare a utilizzare la nostra mente che ci viene fornita senza istruzioni d’uso

Hallo,dieses Buch hat mir sehr geholfen meinen Lernprozess neu zu gestalten. Ich bin mit der Methode sehr zufrieden. Wer bis jetzt schon mehrere Bücher zum Thema Lernorganisation u Gedächtnistraining gelesen hat und nicht mit den Ergebnissen für sein Lernen zufrieden ist, der findet vielleicht in diesem Buch seine Methode und wichtige Erkenntnisse. Vom englischen Niveau her würde ich das Buch ab 3-4 Klasse NMS/Gymnasium ab Note 3 einstufen oder eben viel Nachschlagen im Wörterbuch. LG

The core ideas in this book aren't dissimilar from those of older books, such as "How to Study" by Swain or "How to Read a Book" by Adler and Van Doren. The essence of the learning techniques isn't very different. This book places the techniques in a specific context, though: school, where the ultimate goal is to get good grades. It presents a strategy for implementing the techniques in a school setting with the joint goals of "maximum grades, optimum learning, minimum time."I've seen some people complain that the techniques are too time-consuming. The author specifically addresses this problem: "This process is going to take us much longer to follow along than the actual thinking-involved took." In other words, once you practice and get used to the techniques, you won't need to do them explicitly...they will become automatic. In fact, I don't think it's possible to learn _at all_ if you aren't asking many of the questions that Robinson discusses. If you think it's too time-consuming, then you're basically admitting that learning is too time-consuming, at which point you should stop reading and reevaluate your priorities.I was a senior in college when I picked up this book. I had survived my former years by mainly using techniques from Cal Newport's material, but reading this book, along with the books I mentioned earlier, provided me with a much clearer understanding of what learning is. Newport's books are definitely useful, being more immediately practical. But this book was more challenging and addressed the core problem of learning more directly.If you want to learn how to learn, especially in a school setting, this book is a great guide. Taking the time to work through the book and struggling to apply the principles to your studies will pay off big time. It will start slow, but persistence will pay off as the material is internalized and becomes second nature. Then you will become an unstoppable learning machine.I can't recommend this book enough for students.
