For the past fifteen years, I’ve been obsessed with one question: How do we get better at learning?

I didn’t start with a theory to prove or a framework to sell. I started with that question and let the science guide me.

I read the books. Then I read the research cited in the books. Then I found the scientists behind the research. I visited them. I interviewed them. I asked a bunch of dumb questions until I actually understood the science—and could explain it in plain English. Over time, findings from different areas of research started fitting together, forming a framework for better learning. Then, I put it to work in my own life—and started teaching it to others. Eventually, I traveled around the world and delivered over a thousand presentations to every type of group you could imagine.

After thousands of hours of learning and teaching, it’s finally ready for you. I can’t wait for you to read this book, I think you’ll love it.
