Sample Key Takeaways:
1) Nowadays, we are relentlessly and endlessly bombarded with new information. Thereās always much to remember, yet our brains capture so little of that information. Even the stuff thatās worth remembering often makes only a short-lived impression on us before disappearing forever.
2) Education has been tainted by the boring tradition of rote learning. Schools today cram huge amounts of information into studentsā heads without teaching them how to retain it. Memorization has become a mindless way of retaining information just long enough to pass the next exam.
