How We Learn: The New Science of Education and the Brain

How We Learn by Stanislas Dehaene is a groundbreaking book that uncovers the secrets of how our brains learn and retain information.

This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the psychological, neuronal, synaptic, and molecular mechanisms of learning, drawing on case studies of children who learned despite huge difficulty and trauma.

The author explains why youth is a sensitive period for learning, during which brain plasticity is at its peak, but also assures readers that their abilities continue into adulthood.

By understanding the four pillars of the brain's learning algorithm - attention, active engagement, error feedback, and consolidation - readers can enhance their learning and memory at any age and "learn to learn" better.

This book is a must-read for anyone looking to improve their learning abilities and unlock the full potential of their brain.
