Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning by Peter C. Brown and Henry L. Roediger III and Mark A. McDaniel

Discusses the best methods of learning, describing how rereading and rote repetition are counterproductive and how such techniques as self-testing, spaced retrieval, and finding additional layers of information in new material can enhance learning.

What I liked - The advices. What I didn't like - The chapters had many examples, which is a good thing, but I got pretty bored of the book. I usually read few paragraphs and then make notes but when I actually thought about what I learnt from reading those few paragraphs, nothing came up in my mind. The same point was stressed multiple times in different ways. So I recommend this for someone who wants to learn about this "tips" with lots of examples that draw the same conclusion. But the examples do solidify the concepts they talk about.

For people who just want to learn how to study properly while retaining as much as possible, I recommend "The Only Study Guide You'll Ever Need"
