Accelerated Learning Techniques
The book in one sentence
Learning how to learn is the one skill that never goes out of date, and anyone can get faster at it by working with their own strengths and a simple, repeatable process.
Who it's for
Adults returning to study, professionals who need to pick up new skills quickly, and anyone who left school convinced they were not a good learner.
The big idea
This is an audio programme rather than a book. It pairs the motivational speaker Brian Tracy with Colin Rose, who founded Accelerated Learning Systems in the UK and has spent decades writing about how people learn. Their argument is that most of us were taught what to learn but never how. Specific knowledge goes stale, but the ability to learn quickly lasts a lifetime and compounds over a career. Tracy makes the case for lifelong learning as the route to higher earnings and confidence, and much of the programme is given over to practical techniques.
