Publisher Description

Master Dogen writes, To study the way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. How do we study ourselves, our lives, our world, the questions of why and how? Do we refuse to study them? In practice, experience and explanations of experience become the same thing. How are we students?

"The ecstatic rating is mostly for the book's entertainment value. It was a fun, quick read, probably because I liked Newport's tone, but I can imagine that others really wouldn't. I found some of his tips and plans very helpful, while others stretched my credulity a bit. Overall, I think it's a good book to spend a few hours with if you're willing to consider the merit of your study habits. Whether or not you find Newport's specific suggestions worth trying, the overall concept of the book will get you thinking about how you get through your school work."

    " Overall, a very helpful and practical guide--even for the graduate level. The section on paper writing was most helpful in laying out a system for stress-free and excellent writing. "

    " This is a very interesting book. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone that is having issues with grades. However, if you already do above 3.0 work there won't be much new content here. It is mainly common sense study habits that can be discovered after a few weeks in class. I did enjoy the student perspective rather than a professor's one. A lot of professors think that grinding away is the best way to do well. Cal's method cares more about studying more effectively so one can get more out of the college experience. "

    " A practical approach to studying. No gimmicks or cutting out personal time to study. He repeats himself often but some college students need that. Even if you are a returning adult student you can still glean some gems from this book. "

    " A decent read and everyone can always use a little help in the time management area. The 3 parts of the book each have a cheat sheet, which is really all you need to read, so the book could have easily been turned into a 3 page pamphlet... "

    " Good, lots of advice here, and gives you plenty of room to change things up to suit you and your classes. Does give some examples, and while they are quite simple it does help give you an idea of how it all works. "
