Learning can be more fun than the beach when you learn faster. Accelerated Learning lights the way.
Having listened to Accelerated Learning by Colin Rose and Brian Tracy many times since adding it to my collection in the early nineties, I am delighted to see that it is still available on Amazon.
This audio title still covers the important ways to learn faster while having more fun than you can on a beach.
Why a beach? Well on a beech the sky is high, the horizon is far away, the sand feels good between your toes, and the sea is startlingly refreshing. Learning is all these things and more.
Accelerated Learning inspired this article: Nineteen Ways to Learn Faster.
To learn faster you must marshal the information in a way that suits your learning style. This makes learning fun. In each learning situation, you must translate the material to be learned into a form that fits your personality and learning preferences.
Brian, whose voice is on the audio, explains how to leverage well-understood brain functions and create your own learning method.
These are some of the accelerated learning techniques explained:
Whole Brain Learning: This method emphasizes engaging both sides of the brain. The logical, analytical left hemisphere and the creative, intuitive right hemisphere. By incorporating visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning techniques, learners can activate multiple senses and enhance their understanding and retention of information.
Mind Mapping: Mind mapping is a visual technique that involves creating a diagram or a "map" to represent ideas and concepts. It encourages learners to organize information in a non-linear associative manner to make connections between different pieces of knowledge. Mind maps are effective tools for brainstorming, note-taking, and organizing complex information in a way that stimulates creativity and aids memory recall.
Visualization: Visualization involves creating vivid mental images of the information or concepts being learned. Using imagination and sensory details, learners can reinforce their understanding and strengthen memory associations. Visualizing success or the desired outcome can also enhance motivation and goal achievement.
Accelerated Reading: This method focuses on improving reading speed and comprehension. Skimming, scanning, and previewing can help readers extract key information efficiently. Active reading strategies, such as highlighting, summarizing, and asking questions, also enhance comprehension and retention.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP): NLP techniques enhance communication and learning. By understanding how individuals process information through their senses and internal representations, learners can adapt their learning methods to match their preferred sensory modalities, such as visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. NLP also offers strategies for managing emotions, overcoming limiting beliefs, and setting empowering goals.
Positive Environment: Creating a positive and conducive learning environment is crucial for accelerated learning. This includes eliminating distractions, setting clear goals, creating a comfortable physical space, and maintaining a positive mindset. A supportive environment enhances focus, motivation, and the overall learning experience.
Listening to Accelerated Learning is a rich and rewarding experience that will stay with you. *****
