Reviews"I've recommended it to anyone who will stand still long enough to listen to me. I was familiar with some of the ideas and techniques from my various readings on the science of learning, but its invaluable to have them gathered in one concise book, especially one geared towards developers." -Dr. Paul V. Gestwicki, Professor & Director of Undergraduate Programs, Ball State University "I've always been looking for something to help me improve my learning skills, but i've never found anything as effective as this book." -Oscar Del Ben, Software Developer "Absolutely terrific! I'm only beginning the 3rd chapter and I've already found the book VERY, VERY useful. It makes me look at what I am doing and how I do it in a different light." -Carol Saah, Java Software Developer

Run your Brain Like a Computer!
In fairness, I haven't read the whole book yet, but it came highly recommended. The author is a programmer, ans applies that perspective to optimizing your thinking. The book is full of practical material and it's the kind of thing you may want to absorb a bit at a time, rather than going from cover to cover. I'm looking forward to putting this into practice!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
