Tony's Reviews > How We Learn: The Surprising Truth About When, Where, and Why It Happens

Audible version:
Firstly, this was a struggle at times, probably through the frustration of my own powers of learning/recall. If you’re going to use this book for personal/self-improvement, or you want to use its lessons in your own classroom, then an audible version is immensely confounding – as I wanted to make notes and highlights continuously, and walking to and from work whilst listening didn’t allow me to easily do this! I also hated the attempts of the narrator to mimic the Irish accent or when quoting research from a woman, attempt a somewhat high-pitched parody.

But… and it’s a big but… this book was outstanding. It collects a wealth of research, personal experience and learning and puts them together in a manner which is easy to understand and logically builds from one concept to another. It is so good, that as soon as I finished, I downloaded the kindle version so I can read it again and this time make notes.

In fact, it is so good that when the voice at the end says “we hope you enjoyed this book”, I actually said “Yes!” – out loud!

There’s a lot here, and it’s all good!
