  • Book Summary: Make it Stick Science of Successful Learning
    Reading Time: 9 minutes Make it stick is really a two sided book. Pulling apart the conventional wisdom of how to learn effectively on the one hand, and on the other providing techniques backed by cognitive science for becoming a more productive learner. I found this book personally useful as a new university student because like most students I fell straight into the go-to study habits of highlighting, rereading, cramming and so on.
  • Book Summary: Range How Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World
    Reading Time: 5 minutes This is definitely a book for those who enjoy a more serendipitous existence – those who prefer to read broadly, have many interests, and explore life. Developing what the author David Epstein calls ‘Range’ in the process.
