How to Outsmart Your Brain, Procrastinate Less, Read More, and LEARN More! | Dan Willingham
Dan Willingham is a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia and the author of many celebrated articles and books.
His latest work, Outsmart Your Brain, offers invaluable advice for the student whose goal is to maximize his or her fullest learning potential.
But you don’t have to be a student–enrolled at a prestigious university or an expensive high school–in order to benefit from his wisdom;
We can ALL afford to become better learners, more discerning readers, and more intelligent people–and Professor Willingham is here to show you how!
In this episode, Dan and I discuss:
How to read for deeper comprehension; The “SP3R” technique; Active v. passive reading; The use of Highlighters, and if they actually help; Writing notes in the margin or at the end of a book; The use of electronics to aid memory; Various types of procrastination; Ways to combat procrastination; How to establish and stick to habits; Why he calls memory the “residue of thought”; Why we remember trivial things, but not significant ones; Following one’s passion v. purpose; Finding purpose in difficult settings; Whether or not rereading is worthwhile; Important advice to America’s students; and MUCH MORE!
I hope that you enjoy this episode!
Thank you so very much for tuning in.
