Grasp: The Science Transforming How We Learn by Sanjay Sarma, Luke Yoquinto
5.0

This was a great book for anyone interested in the topic of learning and how we learn. Sanjay Sarma is the head of Open Learning at MIT, which is the department that allows anyone to check out courses from MIT. The book does a fantastic job discussing the misconceptions about learning, the bad practices educators get into when it comes to teaching people, and it also discusses how the underprivileged are left behind.

The book got a little slow for me at some points, so this one took me a while to read. Overall, I learned a ton from it, and as someone who continues to try and learn new things, I definitely got some helpful tips.
