An amazingly easy way to master any subject, whether you're a good student or not.

We all have tools to learn what may not seem to come naturally to us at first, but the secret is to understand how the brain works so we can tap into its potential.

This book explains:

• Why is letting your brain wonder sometimes an important part of the learning process?

• How to avoid routine thinking in order to think outside the box.

• Why can having a weak memory be a good thing?

• A simple yet powerful way to stop procrastinating.

Based on the best-selling book, "A Mind for Numbers" and the popular online companion course, "Learning How to Learn," this book makes learning easy and fun.
