What people are saying about Pragmatic Thinking and Learning This book will be the catalyst for your future. Patrick Elder Agile SoftwareDeveloper By following Andy’s concrete steps, you can make your most pre- cious asset—your brain—more efficient and productive. Read this book, and do what Andy tells you to do. You’ll think smarter, work better, and learn more than ever before. Bert Bates Cocreator of Head First, Brain Friendly Books I’ve always been looking for something to help me improve my learning skills, but I’ve never found anything as effective as this book. Pragmatic Thinking and Learning represents the best way to help you become an expert learner, improve your skills, and teach you how to improve your work efficiency by learning fast and easily. Oscar Del Ben Softwaredeveloper I love books that explain that context matters. This book does— and helps you understand why. From the Dreyfus model (a source of many “aha’s” for me) to explaining why experiential training works (the wall climbing story), Andy writes with humor and with tact so you can learn from reading and organize your own think- ing and learning. Johanna Rothman Consultant, author and speaker gPgrepgaregd gexcglusgivegly gforg Jogse gLugis Lgoyga g This is an accessible and insightful book that will be useful to readers in many fields. I enjoyed reading it! Dr. Patricia Benner Professor and Chair, Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, University of California, San Francisco Finished reading the beta last night. I loved this talk at NFJS (and the herding racehorses one), and to have it in book form— spectacular. All of this material has really changed my life! Matt McKnight Softwaredeveloper This has been fun, and I’ve learned a lot—can’t ask for more than that.
