    About this audiobook

    Scientists estimate that the human brain is capable of storing the equivalent of three million TV shows within its walls. So why can't you remember anything from that lecture you just watched? The answer lies in the fact that we can't easily retrieve that information or process it effectively. How can we ensure that we're making good use of our brain space and actually learning what we hear?

    Enter computer scientist and corporate trainer/consultant Matt Harrison and this audio course, Long-Term Learning. Harrison argues that by understanding how the brain works and retrieve information, we can develop effective learning strategies and better recall the information we absorb when we need it. In the course, Harrison breaks down how the brain's memory works and how we can change our habits to make it work better for us, and offers proven strategies for getting information to stick and appear to us such as the "memory palace" and spaced repetition. He also provides helpful exercises to help you confirm your knowledge and begin applying it immediately.

    The first step to becoming a lifelong learner is to understand. If you're ready to revolutionize the way you learn, give Long-Term Learning a spin.

      In this information-rich world many of us feel like we can should learn a lot the whole time. But some studies suggest that we lose as much as 90% of it. So how do we fix that? By slowing down! There’s a famous quote often attributed to Einstein that

      I really love this book how it teaches an effective way of learning and storing the ideas in to our long term memory. Hope it helps me later on in life.

      The very useful program, which captures most of what is needed in a very short time of about one hour, gives a crux of the material about learning that sticks. Great Audio.
