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." — Tasmia (5 out of 5 stars)

" A decent read. A little too empiical though. "
" 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. "
" This book will make you feel horrible about your inadequte self. "
" Has some solid tips. Written for college students but HS students could put some of it to use too. "
" if you are in school, or plan to be, read it. "
" 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. "
" Only time will tell if these tips will work for me, but it was very well written and holds a promise for a better semester ahead! "
" Buku yang sangat, sangat informatif dan apabila ditambah dengan info langsung dari blog penulis, bisa dijadikan strategi pembelajaran yang efektif. "
" I guess it could work if you actually put all of that in action....can't say I've tried though. A little dry but very informative. "
" Useful. I wish I had this during my freshman year to prevent myself from spending all nighters! "
" 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... "
" The first book about the subject that I read and felt that it really helped. If you can, go check it out :) "
" VERY useful. I'm strongly recommending this to my departing college freshman. "
" This is FULL of very helpful advice. I bought two copies so I would have one to share. "
" Awesome, tangible, empirically tested and properly collected study advice! Recommended for everyone! "
" Most of the tips were things I happened to have been doing for years, without thinking, but the text was fun to read. "
" 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. "
" A must have read for any high school senior and college student. I've read it, and reread it many times. "
" very helpful for me because i am unorganized & i procrastinate. this book helped me turn around both of those qualities; maybe not perfectly, but definitely an improvement. "
