As someone with a deep interest in the area of neuroscience this is a must-have read for those in the field of learning and development sectors in order to make the content they provide to others as memorable and easy to digest as possible. Complete with the latest cutting-edge research this is a truly fascinating insight into the way we learn and the best ways to retain information. Packed with helpful hints and tips as well as evidence-based approaches that are tried and tested, this is a well written and highly informative book. It's certainly well worth your time if you have an interest in this topic or work in one of the areas that would gain from applying these particular strategies. Many thanks to Kogan Page for an ARC.

As the author of a book on training and development, this book was definitely within my wheelhouse for evaluation. I had been familiar with Collins' first edition of the book, which was why I was interested in seeing what changed. As a learning and development professional, I was really glad to see that the inclusion of the latest research in neuroscience was included within the revised version of the book. Although this isn't a complete overhaul, there is a lot of new material in this book that makes it worth reading for anyone in the L&D world. Of you're someone who is really interested in evidence-based learning practices, then this book is a must-have in your library.

I think this book is a must read if you work in L&D. It's fascinating, well written and full of interesting ideas.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

This is a good and interesting book, well written and full of tips, my only disappointment is that I was expecting something to make my process of learning easier instead the book is mostly about making the learning process easier for other people. Of course it helps the trainer also but still... Anyway most of the suggestion involve neuroscience but at a level that it's easy to understand and to apply and so this can be a very good book to start if you are interested in the topic.

Questo é un buon manuale, ben scritto e pieno di suggerimenti, peccato che io mi aspettassi un libro che aiutasse me ad imparare piú facilmente, invece ha a che fare con la modalitá per rendere il processo di apprendimento altrui piú immediato. Naturalmente molti suggerimenti sono utili anche per il trainer, peró...Comunque la maggior parte delle facilitazioni prevede l'utilizzo delle neuroscienze, ma ad un livello pratico e facile da capire, quindi questo puó essere un buon libro se l'argomento vi interessa, ma non lo conoscete ancora abbastanza bene.
