The book Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning debunks common, ineffective study habits (like re-reading and cramming) and replaces them with proven, science-backed learning strategies.

Key tenets of the book include:

  • Embrace Effort: Learning is deeper and more permanent when it requires effort. An "awkward crawl to mastery" is normal and very productive.
  • Retrieval Practice (Often called forced retrieval): Regularly quizzing yourself on the material you are learning is far more effective than re-reading a textbook.
