Summary
To most of us, learning something "the hard way" implies wasted time and effort. Good teaching, we believe, should be creatively tailored to the different learning styles of students and should use strategies that make learning easier.
Make It Stick turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. Many common study habits and practice routines turn out to be counterproductive. Underlining and highlighting, rereading, cramming, and single-minded repetition of new skills create the illusion of mastery, but gains fade quickly. More complex and learning come from self-testing, introducing certain difficulties in practice, waiting to re-study new material until a little forgetting has set in, and interleaving the practice of one skill or topic with another. Speaking most urgently to students, teachers, trainers, and athletes, Make It Stick will appeal to all those interested in the challenge of lifelong learning and self-improvement.

Horrible ending
Great book but i am subtracting 2 stars for the last example about the acupuncture clinic. Acupuncture has no scientific ground and, while the authors were not specifically endorsing it, simply presenting it in the same neutral light as the other examples is not something that scam deserves.

Unstick Yourself
The book offers many interesting insights into the way we are taught and how we learn things. Make It Stick, offers many examples to illustrate various studying techniques and methods and offers a balanced view of the empirical data to support these claims. The book is useful for anyone wanting to learn about different approaches to learning, though the final chapter felt like a massive advert to plug a bunch of affiliate platforms.
Enjoyable and interesting, the narrator could have been more expressive.

Exceptional insight into learning strategies
For a long time I've been looking to update my machinery for studying. This book put things into perspective, helped me make changes I always thought I should make but wasn't sure if will prove effective. The book guides a self realization journey about the illusions many modern learners can't let go off.

It questions what you do...
I found the Audio book extremely useful. It made me question what I did previously, what I should be doing and what I can do in the future. Very powerful findings.

Learning is down to the student but teachers need to teach how best to learn
An excellent book that I will use and reference widely in my role as an educator

the content
Sometimes voice was a little droning as I'm unused to American accent but otherwise an enjoyable background listening activity.
