Study Smarter: Stone-age Roots, Modern Wisdoms and the Journey to Exam Success

Studying does not have to be hard or horrible. Enjoyment can come from things that are challenging. Ownership and control are there for those that who desire them and are willling to make the effort. Fulfilment in academics and school are within reach, but we need to embrace the means to get there, and this book reveals just that.

Study Smarter will show you how to study for maximum effect. It promises novel thinking that has been developed from a wide range of disciplines, including modern neuroscience and the context in which our minds were shaped — our roughly two million years spent as hunter-gatherers and the thinking and adaptations needed to survive, which still play a role in our thinking today.

Discover why many existing study techniques don't achieve the results students hope for, and why learning is the first step to making studying easier. Gain real insights into why the mind functions the way it does, and how students can access and capitalise on their natural mental wiring to help them not only excel, but also learn in a meaningful way. And finally, find out why the use of transformation tools and Trigger Maps are so powerful, and how they help students learn more effectively.
