For centuries, experts have argued that learning was about memorizing information: You're supposed to study facts, dates, and details, burn them into your memory, and then apply that knowledge at opportune times. But this approach to learning isn’t nearly enough for the world that we live in today, and in Learn Better journalist and education researcher Ulrich Boser demonstrates that how we learn can matter just as much as what we learn. In this brilliantly researched book, Boser maps out the new science of learning, showing how simple techniques like comprehension check-ins and making material personally relatable can help people gain expertise in dramatically better ways. He covers six key steps to help you “learn how to learn,” all illuminated with fascinating stories like how Jackson Pollock developed his unique painting style and why an ancient Japanese counting device allows kids to do math at superhuman speeds. Boser’s witty, engaging writing makes this book feel like a guilty pleasure, not homework. Learn Better will revolutionize the way students and society alike approach learning and makes the case that being smart is not an innate ability—learning is a skill everyone can master. With Boser as your guide, you will be able to fully capitalize on your brain’s remarkable ability to gain new skills and open up a whole new world of possibilities.

In developing this model, Utterback examines industries over long periods of time to discover patterns in the way innovation is introduced, adopted, and then replaced by yet further innovation.

The Master Set Universe is an in-depth investigation, through the realms of Quantum Mechanics and Mathematics, of the concept of the Master Set, an all-encompassing 'every thing', entirely self-referential in nature. Maxwell Katz makes use of a number of analogies to illustrate his themes. The way in which the Master Set projects the illusion of a 'mechanical world', for example, is likened to a computer game, which plays out certain events although, at the same time, it contains infinite possibilities within itself. Meaning and truth are analysed in the light of this Projective Realm. There are no absolutes; meaning is simply a way that we define ourselves, giving us perspective in the way we perceive all 'other'. The overriding feature of the Master Set Universe is its Oneness. From it comes every thing; it is every thing.

In 2004, Eoin Scolard trusted his intuition and walked away from a six-figure salary. The Possibility Exists … is a practical and sometimes humorous look at how his concept of self was broken open, and how he learned profound spiritual and philosophical concepts from unlikely sources. Eoin says, “The Possibility Exists … that you’ll enjoy the searing honesty of my writing, sprinkled with Irish humour, deep wisdom, fun and foolishness. But then again, The Possibility Exists … that you’ll throw your hands up in the air and proclaim that this is the most boring book you’ve ever read!” As you can tell, Eoin avoids taking it all too seriously, because, he says, “Self-help can become obsessive and actually be a hindrance to your enjoyment of life.”
