Rapid Learning is not only a way to take the speed of your learning to another level, but a means of taking control of what, when, where, how and why you learn. Christian Ervikson has laid out a brief but effective collection of learning strategies that can significantly improve how well and how quickly a person learns any material, whether for a class, work or for any other reason. As always, learning begins with honest self-assessment and the setting of goals to be achieved. When the learner sets out with a positive goal in mind and a positive attitude for carrying out that goal, he/she is much more likely to succeed. The book takes a brief look into how we learn and helps us to understand what it takes to retain information. There are numerous practical guidelines for organizing the information, taking control of our study habits, proper reading strategies and training your memory for rapid recall. In addition, there are nine quick reference tips to give you another quick boost.

Christian Ervikson has put together a concise but effective set of practical principles and practices that can improve anyone’s ability to grasp a subject in Rapid Learning. This is not a drawn out, deeply psychoanalytical analysis of cognitive function, but a brief, effective guide that can be quickly applied to a student’s life. What is best about this book is that it pushes a person toward a committed set of actions rather than a set of theoretical methods. Packed full of plenty of good habits for becoming a better student, Rapid Learning is a must for someone whose study habits and methods are not quite adequate to earn them the grades they need or to advance them in their career. Get it! Practice it! Learn faster and with longer lasting results.
