Description

Much work-based training is a waste of time and money because the majority of people are neither emotionally ready to learn nor practically inclined to apply their learning to the way they behave. This book offers a new model of learning - READY, GO, STEADY - which could revolutionize the way one learns and performs. The author shows that by concentrating on what happens before and after one learns, one can use his or her brain to best effect, learning faster and working smarter.

Here is an excellent book about learning. It puts the ultimate learning resource - the brain - center stage and helps us to understand how to get the best use out of it.

Actioning even a fraction of Bill Lucas' suggestions will transform your life.--Dr. Pete Honey, author and expert on learning and human performance
