Recommendation

Traditional learning methods are losing traction in a rapidly changing world. In the 21st century, productive opportunities for self-learning abound. To succeed as a self-learner, you need discipline, motivation, and a clear strategy and plan. Best-selling author Peter Hollins’s guide sets up the reader for a self-learning journey by offering tools and strategies that make the process not only easier but more rewarding. His manual proves well-organized, easy to use as a reference and provides meaningful, illustrative examples. While Hollins writes for people with a growth mind-set, his guide remains an excellent companion for all learners in any discipline and across disciplines.

Take-Aways

  • Self-learning offers many more benefits than traditional learning provides.
  • Susan Kruger’s “Learning Success Pyramid” provides a foundation for approaching self-learning.
  • Self-learning requires intrinsic motivation, which proves more rewarding than extrinsic motivation.
