I've written about the book Learning to learn a bazillion times on this blog, and all in a positive light. Here at PN's where I am situated 2 days pre-Xmas I have been flipping through the copy of the book that I gifted them. The book is 200 pages long, of which the case studies start at page 60-ish. The actual meat and potatoes starts at page 20 ish. Which means 40 pages of actual material. Towards the end of the section, there's 3 pages of charts/table that shows the different stages of learning a new skill, the negative moods associated with learning in those stages, and the positive moods they can be transformed to. That is the crux of the book. The writer insists no amount of reading and theorizing and internalising the concept will be useful if one does not practice them... which seems a bit sus.
The material is really good though, despite all.
It does feel like it's an education book hoping to make into exec leadership field, or the other way round.
Pretty aggressive flogging of their executive trainings, but still, great read, easy to summarize material. Just need to learn a no skill to practice the meta skill of learning.
