“The book describes very interesting insights about how our brains work. The most interesting part, though, is the discussion on the implications of these findings.”

“My favorite part of this book was recognizing that Medina used the tools he taught himself. His chapters are laid out to validate his research about learning. Thanks.”

Most of these are not new to educators but he provides some back up information based on how the brain functions that explains why the rule applies. It is very readable and has caused me to re-think ... again ... my teaching practices.”

Yes | No“This is a must-read (or listen) for anyone interested in learning how we learn. Especially pertinent for people that must lead such as parents, educators, and managers. Medina takes complicated psychological concepts and translates them into English. The best part is that he is an accomplished psychologist (or Brain scientist...) and everything he covers is backed up by peer-reviewed research. Thinking about this review makes me want to listen to the audio book again.”

“Fast-paced and often amusing, but with enough information to make it worthwhile. I though he stretched the science at times when making suggestions for schools, but he definitely provided food for thought. (I thought the research supporting naps was particularly important!)”
