The Science of Self-Learning: How to Teach Yourself Anything, Learn More in Less Time, and Direct Your Own Education (Learning how to Learn Book 1)

The Science of Self-Learning teaches how to learn effectively when you must be both teacher and student. The book focuses on directing your own learning rather than simply consuming information. You will learn to deconstruct topics, construct your own syllabus, and plan your education independently. The book covers replicable methods to build expertise from the ground up, including how to gather information, conduct initial research, and engage with new material. Topics include understanding the learning success pyramid, self-regulation, confidence, and motivation during difficult learning periods. Specific techniques covered include the SQ3R Method, speed reading and comprehension, scheduling strategies based on Benjamin Franklin's approach, and methods for extracting and retaining information. The book draws on Peter Hollins' background in psychology and peak human performance research, as well as his experience working with individuals to unlock their potential. The book addresses how self-learning enables you to adapt across multiple careers and direct your life in your chosen direction.
