#024 - Peter C Brown - The Science Of Successful Learning Habits
Peter C Brown is a writer, retired management consultant and the author of Make It Stick; The Science Of Successful Learning.
No matter what your goals in life, your capacity to learn effectively is the foundation upon which everything is built. Whether you're learning Archery or Law, Economics or Knitting, your capacity to consume and recall information mediates your ability to progress.
Today we learn what science tells us is the most effective method to learn. Florida International University Law School implemented the Make It Stick approach and went from typically 4th or 5th in The Bar Exam to placing 1st Place in 5 out of the last 6 exams. Teacher or student, you should listen to this.

#385: Learning How to Learn
When you study for a test or you’re trying to learn a new skill, what’s your typical approach? If you’re like most people, you might repeat facts over and over again or do the same task over and over again until you can do it in your sleep.
While these brute force tactics might make you feel like you’re encoding new information into your brain, my guest today argues that you’re just fooling yourself. His name is Peter Brown, and he’s the co-author of the book Make it Stick: The Science of Successful Learning. Today on the show Peter and I discuss why typical approaches to studying might make it feel like you’re learning, but don’t actually work. We then delve into research-backed advice on how to really learn something and really retain it. Some of these insights are going to seem pretty counterintuitive. If you’re a student, someone who’s looking to become proficient in a new skill, or just dedicated to the idea of lifelong learning, this episode is packed with actionable advice.
