4x4 Learning with Ian Gibbs

Have you ever been frustrated to discover you couldn’t remember something you read just the day before? Have you ever thought you understood a new idea but then found it difficult to put that idea into words? Have you ever given up on trying to learn a new skill because when you tried to apply it, the result was an abysmal failure? If your answer to any of these is “yes”, you’re in the right place. Learning is one of the most useful skills we have in today’s forever-changing world. But even though you’ve probably spent the best part of your life learning in one form or another, no one has ever told you about effective learning techniques. So that’s what today’s guest offers.
