In this post on Personal Learning I said some reasonably positive things about this book. [ http://marklindner.info/blog/2011/01/08/... ]
Now that we have finished the book I want to take most of it back.
As I said, if you want to look at it get it from a library. It is about 80% fluff/extraneous babbling. Of the 20% left which is of value some is so far out of date as to be of no real use. The en More...

Why aren't there more books written about this most important topic? Ron Gross presents a thorough look at the importance and power of lifelong learning and LEARNING HOW TO LEARN. Adults are better learners than children. Learning is growing and a life of growing is living abundantly. Read and reread.

At a used bookstore, I picked up a copy of this that The University of Phoenix adapted and uses to teach adult learners to learn most effectively. I have found it more useful and well-organized than two textbooks on learning that I acquired in college courses elsewhere. The University of Phoenix, however, as I looked into it more, did not seem like the school for me. I am impressed by this book, though, and think that maybe one of the best things a student at that school might get would be an

There are certainly more up-to-date books out there on the subject of personal learning. As long as you skim over the goofy self-help style anecdotes (which are about 2/3 of the book, alas), and drastically change the "exercises" so they'll actually be useful, then you'll probably get something out of this. I found some nice tips on creating a personal learning space / atmosphere in chapter 8, and some nice ideas about creating goals. But overall, I would skip this book in favor of

Some of the ideas suggested in the book are usable if one does not mind the attempt at confirming the notions of "modern" educational theory.

A Hodge Podge of Learning Techniques from Psyching oneself to eliminate fear of learning to personalizing learning techniques derived from research by the author or by other writers on this type of subject. Basically it says that one should find ones own individual learning style to enhance the positive effect. Usable and you can pick up some things you can use for continous learning.

I admire people that have a more structured learning schedule. I admire them more if they can truly stick to it. This book aims to teach you how to develop a plan for peak learning. It was insightful, but probably not the greatest book on the subject.
