Product Description

Together we'll journey together through bits of cognitive and neuroscience, learning and behavioral theory. You'll discover some surprising aspects of how our brains work, and see how you can beat the system to improve your own learning and thinking skills.

In this book you'll learn how to:

Use the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition to become more expert

Leverage the architecture of the brain to strengthen different thinking modes

Avoid common "known bugs" in your mind

Learn more deliberately and more effectively

Manage knowledge more efficiently

Software development happens in your head. Not in an editor, IDE, or design tool. It's time to take a pragmatic approach to thinking and learning, and start to refactor-and redesign-your brain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic in the making, 18 May 2009

By	E. Burger (Amersfoort, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had this book on my Wish List for a long time before I decided to buy it. Why? I figured that yet another book on mind mapping and other brain train techniques would not add an awful lot what I already knew. Boy was I wrong. Yes, brain training is a good part of this book but it offers far more than that. The Dreyfus model does not only help you to place yourself on your own journey to being an expert (if that is what you want) but it also provides invaluable insights into how to work with others, keeping their strengths and weaknesses in clear sight. Next, getting in the right 'brain mode' will help you to apply those brain train methods far more effectively than you'll have done until now. At least it did for me. Andy explains just how to tune your mind to the right frequency to pick up all those little nuggets of gold that would normally get lost in the static.

I could go on like this for a while, mentioning 'brain debugging', personal investment plans or how I actually started applying the deliberate learning techniques outlined in this book while reading it and came out with a far more ready recollection of its content, even weeks later. But in short, you should get this book. Personally I think it has been incorrectly categorized as being a computer science book. The information in this book will apply to you whether you are a computer scientist, work in sales or manage your local cooking club as a hobby.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very practical book, 9 Jun 2009

By	Olivier Andre - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

An easy read brimming with usefull methods and techniques that will help you increase your learning and retention pace whatever skill you wish to acquire/develop even if the primary audience is programmers. Amongst many insightful tips the author suggests to "Plan your investment in learning deliberately" I believe this book to be a very good first step in that direction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely worth reading!, 12 Aug 2009

By	Mario Andre Araujo "M�rio Andr� Ara�jo" (Lisbon, Portugal) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a wonderful book!

I would definitely recommend this book to all of you that are responsible for coaching others. You'll learn how people learn, how your brain works, what reasoning traps you might fall into and lot more...

As someone said "with awareness comes responsability" and this book was indeed the source of many "Aha!" moments that helped me become aware.

Once again, great book!
