Product Description
Together we’ll journey together through bits of cognitive and neuroscience, learning and behavioral theory. You’ll discover some surprising aspects of how our brains work, and see how you can beat the system to improve your own learning and thinking skills.In this book you’ll learn how to:

  • Use the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition to become more expert
  • Leverage the architecture of the brain to strengthen different thinking modes
  • Avoid common “known bugs” in your mind
  • Learn more deliberately and more effectively
  • Manage knowledge more efficiently
    • Software development happens in your head. Not in an editor, IDE, or design tool. It’s time to take a pragmatic approach to thinking and learning, and start to refactor-and redesign-your brain.
