Geared towards education
The book offers tips for studying more than general learning for educational purposes. The pages, at least in my version, were all backwards, so I had to read the book from back to front, opposite of the covers.

Concise, practical tips for learning
This is a very practical book. It is concise, making for an easy read. It does not get bogged down in excessive background for the principles presented. Clearly the target audience is college students, but all the information is useable by anyone with a little tweaking.

the best methods to learn and retain
Specific steps to follow for optimal learning. I am using these methods now. They work!! How to learn - how to memorize

To the point
Over the past year I've read over 10 books on the subject of efficient learning like UltraLearning by Scott H. Young and How We Learn by Stanislas Dehaene. This book gets to the point that a lot of the work by the previously mentioned authors takes ages to nail down and does so very consicely. The downside is that it does not delve too deeply into studies or the underlying science, but I believe cutting that for brevity was an intentional choice, as their inclusion in other works can sometimes make the reading experience drag. Knowing the intricate workings of myelin in the brain will not, unfortunately, make your own myelin work harder. Knowing the learning principles that properly stimulates your brain will, and this book cuts to them quickly. Do not let a 1 star review about what's included in the sample (of all things man, come on) turn you off of buying this book. Despite what that review might suggest, rating the contents of an ebook sample is not, in fact, a fair rating of the contents of the book.
