Summary of Ulrich Boser's Learn Better

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 We all have a tendency to connect activities with meaning. This is crucial for learning, as it is hard to learn something if we don’t see any value in it. Meaning is the first step in understanding.

#2 The value of meaning is rooted in the brain, and it is something we create. We find our own value in the world, and it serves as a means of perspective, a frame of mind, and an attitude that makes something either wonderfully important or devoid of all significance.

#3 To help students find value in statistics, Hulleman had them write essays explaining why statistics was relevant to their lives. The outcomes were clear: by drawing a connection between their lives and statistics, the students became much more motivated in their studies.

#4 The more we know about something, the more we want to know about it. We want to understand our world, and we want to see value. Meaning becomes self-perpetuating.
