Advance Praise for Outsmart Your Brain

“In a sentence, this is the best book I’ve read on how anyone can learn the tactics of the most successful students. Practical but backed by the latest science, Outsmart Your Brain is an on-ramp to the virtuous cycle of interest, confidence, and achievement.”
—Angela Duckworth, New York Times bestselling author of Grit

“If left to our own devices, humans will usually study poorly. Luckily, Dan Willingham has identified all the ways we can trick our brain into learning (before it tricks us first). A user’s guide to the student’s brain.”
—Amanda Ripley, New York Times bestselling author of The Smartest Kids in the World

“The ultimate guidebook for doing well in school, and the perfect gift for any student heading off to college, and also for the high school student who is beginning to care about grades, or—better yet—actual learning.” Jonathan Haidt, New York Times bestselling coauthor of The Coddling of the American Mind

“Brisk and interesting, this is a wonderful book with a wealth of practical advice for students in ‘how to’ chapters on many topics. I would also recommend the book for teachers and lifelong learners—anyone who cares about learning.”
—Henry L. Roediger III, coauthor of Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning

“Willingham does double duty: he places the power to learn back where it should be, in the hands of students, while showing teachers how to harness the most effective systems and techniques for boosting learning. An essential tool for the new school year, every bit as important as that calculator, handful of sharpened pencils, and stack of notebooks.”
—Jessica Lahey, New York Times bestselling author of The Gift of Failure
