What makes somebody smart?
Is it raw brainpower? Accumulated knowledge? Is it just academic learning or does it also include your experiences, people skills and intuition? Intelligence is difficult to define. Although IQ tests and various exams try to measure it, deciding what makes somebody smart is hard to do. I prefer to avoid universal definitions and focus on a more practical one: Being smart means being able to learn quickly, remember a large amount of information and be able to sort that information in a way that achieves your goals. This is a much more personal definition. Learning goals can differ from person to person. You might just want to get A’s in all your courses. John might want to become a master at computer programming. Susan might want to retain more from the books she reads in her spare time. Another person might want to be able to apply concepts to business situations. It’s up to you to decide what being smart means. This book isn’t about reaching an arbitrary definition of intelligence. Rather, it’s
about giving you a strategy for learning. From this strategy, called holistic learning, I’ll provide a set of different tools to put that theory into practice. Some of these tools won’t fit your learning style or goals. That’s fine. My hopes is to provide a large assortment of tools that, with the backing of the holistic learning strategy, you can use to tailor your own approach. With practice many of these techniques can become powerful weapons in your learning arsenal. This book has two major goals. First, the holistic learning strategy should give you a model for how to learn better. Without an easily understandable theory of learning, it is difficult to make improvements. By seeing the holistic learning strategy you have a basis for identifying your weaknesses and improving the way you learn. The second objective of this book is to provide a variety of learning techniques. Throughout the book I’ll explain what these techniques are and how they fit within the holistic learning strategy. Included with this book are exercise printouts so you can practice these methods. I wish you the best of luck in all your learning efforts and hope you enjoy the book. It took a great deal of effort, tweaking and experimentation to write. Hopefully that effort has been well invested and you can improve the way you think.
