An attractively illustrated popular science book for everyone, offering 80 easy and simple techniques to help you turn all the information you consume into useful speech, writing, and action. In short: how to maximize learning in an effortless way, and how to transform it into meaningful outcome.

All the tips can be incorporated into your daily routines right away, at home, at work, alone and socially, and are divided into tools to improve how we talk, how we write, how we take action, and how we train.

From greeting to small talk, making requests, declining, praising, scolding, apologizing, and phone communication; to handwriting, doodling, fast typing, card-based note-taking, whiteboards, proposal writing, and writing for enjoyment; to decision-making, emotional expression, completion, leadership, emotional regulation (laughing, crying, anger management), sleep, exercise, and time management; or keeping a journal, health tracking, writing book reviews, and sharing information publicly.

Written by a trained psychiatrist who has done research in the US, it is scientifically very solid and revealing, full of little “wow” moments.
