I’m indebted to each of the following individuals for taking the time to review 10 Ways to Be a Better Learner and offer their thoughts:

“As an educator and lifelong learner, I think that Jeff Cobb does a tremendous job of showing how you can stretch your mind to its fullest potential. The ideas in this book are research-based and insightful, and I love his ideas on attaining a “beginner’s mind” to become a learner who can affect the world in positive ways. We all know where we want to go – the challenge is how to get there. 10 Ways to Be a Better Learner will make that journey easier.”

“Ingest 10 Ways to Be a Better Learner quickly—you’ll want to read it at one sitting—and then digest it at your leisure so as to gain the maximum benefit. This is powerful medicine, but it requires no spoonful of sugar. Jeff Cobb’s short but pithy book wrests learning from the context of academia into the learner’s patch. It covers a wide range of topics ranging from the use of blogs to taking care of the body. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to launch their own lifelong growth and development.”
