Learn Better

Ulrich Boser is a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress who writes and researches education issues. His articles have appeared in a variety of publications including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Wired. Our ability to learn is one of the most important skills that we can develop in life. We are constantly learning, and our success in life is often dependent on how well we are able to do it. However, it turns out that we are surrounded by false beliefs and teachings about what it means to learn and how to learn most effectively. Ulrich Boser, whose new book, Learn Better, maps out the science of learning, destroying a number of myths along the way.
