The Learning Edge is a practical guide to learning as an adult. Skills now lose value faster than ever, and the people who learn quickly keep their options open. The book explains how memory really works, which popular study habits waste your time, and the small set of methods with the strongest evidence. Then it applies them to the skills that change a career or a business.
