Summary
To most of us, learning something "the hard way" implies wasted time and effort. Good teaching, we believe, should be creatively tailored to the different learning styles of students and should use strategies that make learning easier.
Make It Stick turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. Many common study habits and practice routines turn out to be counterproductive. Underlining and highlighting, rereading, cramming, and single-minded repetition of new skills create the illusion of mastery, but gains fade quickly. More complex and learning come from self-testing, introducing certain difficulties in practice, waiting to re-study new material until a little forgetting has set in, and interleaving the practice of one skill or topic with another. Speaking most urgently to students, teachers, trainers, and athletes, Make It Stick will appeal to all those interested in the challenge of lifelong learning and self-improvement.

Excellent book
Excellent book about learning, most of the advice is research based, and very helpful.
The stories found inside also help you imagine how all the strategies suggested might be applied.

Should be a staple for all learners
Intuitive and profound in its simplicity this book is a fantastic guide to more efficient and longer lasting learning. The audiobook delivery is a bit bland and American but overall good production.

Deep, practical, and illuminating
As a professor, this was a great book. I learned a lot, not only with what works but in what doesn’t work.
It keyed me into ways in which repetitive, blocked, short-term cramming gives us the illusion of learning.
In general, I think anyone interested in mastering something will find this useful. It’s also pretty darn empowering.

Guter Überblick über die rel. Forschung
Sehr gute Zusammenfassung der relevanten Forschung hinterlegt mit Beispielen und praktischen Handlungsempfehlungen.
Insbesondere wird keine Rücksicht auf die Gefühlchen einiger genommen, die nach wie vor an unsinnigen, lange widerlegen Theorien wie den Lerntypen festhalten.
Jeder Studierende oder besser schon SchülerIn sollte dieses Buch lesen oder hören.

the content
Sometimes voice was a little droning as I'm unused to American accent but otherwise an enjoyable background listening activity.

Learning is down to the student but teachers need to teach how best to learn
An excellent book that I will use and reference widely in my role as an educator

Exceptional insight into learning strategies
For a long time I've been looking to update my machinery for studying. This book put things into perspective, helped me make changes I always thought I should make but wasn't sure if will prove effective. The book guides a self realization journey about the illusions many modern learners can't let go off.
