Peak Learning: A Master Course in Learning how to LearnUnlike studies which focus on theory or practice in adult education, this book presents a set of skills and techniques for self-education. Written by the author of The Lifelong Learner: A Guide to Self-Development ( LJ 9/15/77), it aims to unlock the potential of a learner's mind by teaching fast, efficient, thorough, and productive learning skills. As the book describes, peak learning--or, the ``realist education,''--is independent, unconstrained, noninstitutionalized development incorporating individual learning styles. The book's ideas are presented in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. Recommended for education collections.-- Samuel T. Huang, Northern Illinois Univ. Libs., DeKalb -Library Journal. |
