67. (S4E25) Learning How to Learn | with Barbara Oakley
We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Barbara Oakley, Ph.D., educator, writer, engineer, and perhaps most importantly, a female Indiana Jones!
Barbara\u2019s work focuses on the complex relationships between neuroscience and social behavior, and we think that any Brave Writer fan is also going to be a fan of Barbara\u2019s newest book \u2013 Learning How to Learn: How to Succeed in School Without Spending All Your Time Studying; A Guide for Kids and Teens \u2013 which teaches kids and teens simple tricks for learning difficult subjects, even if they don\u2019t feel like they\u2019re \u201cgood students.\u201d
