Could do without some of the stories. It seems poorly edited. But it's got some key messages for me
1. SPRINT - spaced repetition, reflection, interleaving
2. Growth mindset - believe that abilities and intelligence can be improved significantly
3. When learning is a bit harder, it's more likely to stick, so self quiz often.

The pace of this was very slow for my tastes, and there wasn't much content that was readily applicable to teaching outside a classroom setting.
The author has an obvious goal. He wants everyone to quit using repetition as a way to make things you are learning "stick". He succeeds at this through sighting studies, as well as numerous examples. The book isn't long, but it covers what needs to be said. I've personally found the way the author recommends to be superior at having things stick that constant repetition, which i long ago had set aside as being ineffective. The book would seem to be aimed at three groups of people. Students (not just academic students, but anyone learnnng new material), teachers, and life long learners. That covers a large number of people. I recommend this book especially for teachers.
To preface this, I've read plenty of "popular science" books that I've found both informative and entertaining. Regarding the "informative" criteria: all of the useful information in this book could easily have been condensed into a short article. Regarding the "entertainment" criteria: this book just...wasn't. It wasn't entertaining, engaging, or interesting to read. There were 1 or 2 slightly cool real-world stories, but most of them were either straight-up boring or too vague to be useful. If you're looking for an educational and engaging popular science book, this is not for you.

I have to say, this book really made me rethink some of how I use classroom time, talk about learning and studying, and approach material. It might not have been ideal as an audiobook (I zoned out semi-regularly) but I tried to use some of the tactics that Brown et al talk about in order to keep it fresh. I'm going to buy a copy of the actual book to more quickly access a few sections, and I hope that won't go against the authors' warning against re-reading.
I don't think it's really groundbreaking, but it is a really important review of how we learn with both scientific evidence and anecdotal support to back it up. Good for teachers, students, and trainers of all stripes.

This book is dense with research te how learning works. I found myself listening to it and reading it to make sure I didn’t miss anything which of course I’m sure I did. I’ve been recommending it to everyone, my college age kids, my husband who is using the techniques at work, and all the educators I know.
