Friendgrief: An Absence Called Presence Book

I love this book. It has everything. The first half deals with "an easy way to learn". And the second half deals with "all you need to know".

The most important part for me so far is how to read faster and how to comprehend better. I did what it told me to do and my reading speed doubled in less than a week. And better yet, I understand what I just read. This is exactly what I wanted.

But that's just the reading part. The part on memory offers great techniques and in just the short time I have gotten into it, I have been able to master about 10 new ways to remember things.

The idea is that in part one you learn methods to improve your learning skills and in part two you get subject areas to use those skills. You can pick and choose your subjects. What do you want to learn about - history, music, psychology, sports, math, science? You name it, and there's probably a section on it. Then there are lots of resources if you want to get really deep into any particular area like websites, books and articles.

This is a book that's going to get a lot of wear in my house. I see myself and my family going back to it again and again.

A big thumbs up for this one.
