This book isn’t about reaching an arbitrary definition of intelligence. Rather, it’s
about giving you a strategy for learning. From this strategy, called holistic learning, I’ll
provide a set of different tools to put that theory into practice.
Some of these tools won’t fit your learning style or goals. That’s fine. My hopes is
to provide a large assortment of tools that, with the backing of the holistic learning
strategy, you can use to tailor your own approach. With practice many of these
techniques can become powerful weapons in your learning arsenal.
This book has two major goals. First, the holistic learning strategy should give you
a model for how to learn better. Without an easily understandable theory of learning, it
is difficult to make improvements. By seeing the holistic learning strategy you have a
basis for identifying your weaknesses and improving the way you learn.
The second objective of this book is to provide a variety of learning techniques.
Throughout the book I’ll explain what these techniques are and how they fit within the
holistic learning strategy.
