Do you spend too much time learning with disappointing results? Do you find it difficult to remember what you read? Do you put off studying because it's boring and you're easily distracted? Today's book is for you.

Our guest struggled in the past with our learning. But has found techniques to help us master material—any material. Building on insights from neuroscience and cognitive psychology, she gives us a crash course to improve your ability to learn, whether you're studying maths, language, coding, karate, cooking, or anything else. You'll see why the strategies work because you'll see what's happening in the brain when you use them. No, this isn't a little book of miracles.

But you will find that reducing frustration and improving your study success may sometimes feel miraculous.

We welcome author of "Learn Like a Pro", Barbara Oakley
