Incredibly helpful strategies that I wish I had known when I was in high school and college. I will definitely use them as I prepare to enter a new career field that will involve learning LOTS of things I was previously afraid of (aka math).

This is a truly great course that I would recommend to anyone. What is taught in this course, what this course makes you aware of, is the single most important and essential thing that formal education could, should, but doesn't give people.

Before learning anything you must know the art of learning. This course teaches how to do that, show the path. It is you who has to go in that path. The course is excellent with so many new methods and teachings about how to manage our time.

I wish I had taken this course 25 years ago. That said, this comes at a good time -- I'm pivoting my career. It really feels like applying these lessons could get me from an okay trajectory onto a great trajectory. This is the missing piece!

A great, light, and fun course on learning. It was really easy to take in casually, and the optional video interviews were surprisingly insightful. I also looked over the optional reading links and many of them were extremely fun and useful.
