5.0 out of 5 stars The Foundational Tools to Becoming Your Best Self.
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2024
Verified Purchase
Peter Hollins gives us a great layout of information, tools, and examples that greatly multiply your learning and self-directing skills. This book, in my opinion, has to be one of the most important books that I have read so far. By leveraging the skills and tools used in this book, I can become much more thorough in my knowledge and understanding of information... especially in the subjects of my own best interest.

It's time to rip out the destructive mindset, practices, and beliefs given by traditional education and embark on a path to becoming your best self by becoming the teacher and the student of your life.

Thanks Peter.

Also provides key informations on how I can get started also referencing other books should you choose to go beyond this book. If you are someone who has desire for improving oneself and taking your first step into managing your self learning journey this is it mate!

This author covers topics that bring structure and logic to self learners. You are capable of learning more than any college course could teach you. Invest in yourself rather than going into debt with a worthless college degree.

After days of procrastination and self doubt, I picked up this book and skimmed through it, after reading it halfway, I began my course towards learning how to make websites and at the end of the book, I got to become the self learner I was ages ago. I hope it also helps you get your focus back and soon I should be reading it one more time to implement all the steps in my daily life.

Too many books out there but not all got a solid structure explaining why you should work a certain way. It is most of the time an advice on trying different methods and to see what could eventually work. In this book the explication is simple, you can even experience as you read, everything is detailed, straight to the point and explained in plain English. Looking forward to read other books by the same author.
