The Mindful Way To Study: Dancing With Your Books

The ability to pay attention is a key component of effective learning. Just think of all the times in your life when parents teachers bosses and coaches have told you to pay attention to what you are doing. You would think that with all of the attention paid to paying attention we would be pretty good at it. The problem is we're not because most of us have never been taught how. Commonly adopted methods like forced concentration are actually counterproductive to learning and achieving our goals. In addition too much focus on future goals and rewards takes our attention away from what we need to be doing in order to achieve them. Luckily there is another way a better way: the mindful way. The Mindful Way To Study: Dancing With Your Books is a guide to help students professionals and other lifelong learners develop a better approach to their educational and career pursuits. By using mindfulness or the practice of bringing full awareness to the present moment the authors blend the latest research with entertaining stories and specific techniques to teach readers how to truly pay attention and even learn to enjoy it.
