An excellent guide to learning

Well, I do not know what the previous commenter was expecting from a book with this title, but it serves as and excellent guide to examining the essential qualities of learning.Learning is a skill which is not enhanced and developed in the public school systems here in the United States. As a high school teacher, I have found this book extremely useful in sharing with many studentsstudents the keys to being not merely a student, but a LEARNER. Far beyond one of those trite "study-skills" guides, this book focuses on what kind of person the good student needs to be. Clear and to-the-point, I recommend it for any student, teacher, or parent who wants to reflect on the art and skill of being a learner.
