Book 1. Learning to Learn. How to launch your brain to the fullest

About the book

Are you a mathematician or a humanitarian? Professor Barbara Oakley argues that there is no such thing. Each of us has the inner potential to learn any knowledge. The main thing is to learn how to learn and use your brain to its fullest. Moreover, a monotonous and purposeful movement towards solving a problem is not always the best way. Sometimes it's worth taking a step back to look at the task from a different perspective, to unleash your creativity, even if you're working on a maths problem.

Who is the book for

The book is for the widest range of readers, for everyone who strives for self-development, for teachers, parents, students, those who find it difficult to learn in general, and especially those who hate maths and science.

Why this book

The author offers a variety of life hacks and tools that will help you quickly and effectively memorise information, learn any skills: from understanding complex mathematical formulas or scientific concepts to overcoming professional challenges. Barbara Oakley will also show how to make learning simple and fun.

About the author

Barbara Oakley is a professor of engineering at the University of Auckland and the author of a popular Coursera course on learning to learn. She holds a degree in Slavic studies from the University of Washington and served in the army. Her military service pushed her to study technical sciences, and later to uncover the secrets of thinking.

Book 2. Lessons without hassle. Good grades without unnecessary suffering

All of us seem to be good at studying. But the coveted good grades often get in the way of bad behaviour. These are our bad habits: putting off studying until later, distracting ourselves with a smartphone, not sleeping before a test or a question. And, fortunately, there are good friends to befriend with whom this book will help.

It also has lots of interesting learning topics and answers to open questions. How can pets, pets and pets help you learn? How do you become proficient in mathematics if even a 2-fold reduction causes difficulties? What's the downside to the rubber duck method?

This book will show you that learning can be fast, bright, and simple. And if you plan everything correctly, you will have more time to do your favourite things.

The book is intended for children, teenagers, teachers and parents, as well as for everyone who helps children learn effectively.
