Accelerated learning techniques

by Brian Tracy ยท Sep 2014

This little and interesting book touches topics such as paraphrasing newly read material, together with hints on how to stay focused.

There was a nice pearl about how to become a very literate person. Recipe was:

  • 1 book
  • 1 poem
  • 1 short story

I suspect I’ll have to come up with a CS equivalent of this list.

Mind mapping was mentioned. Before I knew how it is called I was using it, for things which I were to do right the next day. Being in bed and far away from a pen, I tried to throw a pillow in the middle of a room while thinking about specific problem/task. The next day right after waking up I questioned the location of the pillow and immediately recalled what I was thinking the previous night.

Tracy’s books are interesting as they seemed backed by his research, so I believe that whatever this book has got, it has been an effect of his more careful studies across a wide span of literature.

I recommend to learning addicts.
