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.
