""Imagine the ideal academic advisor, who knows all of the tricks of the trade, is up on the latest technology and how to use it effectively, and is happy to take the time to guide you. Now make that advisor not only deep and wise, but also very funny. If such an advisor exists, it is probably Dr. Penn. This book is a marvelous tutorial on how to succeed as a student and scholar. It is steeped in the author’s up-to-date knowledge of numerous scientific literatures and technical (including AI), and it does a remarkably good job of distilling what is most important and explaining clearly how to use this material to good end. This book is about much more than effective studying―it is also about functioning effectively in a wide range of situations, from academe to business. I recommend it with enormous enthusiasm."" Stephen M. Kosslyn, President and CEO of Foundry College, and former Founding Dean and Chief Academic Officer of the Minerva Schools at the Keck Graduate Institute, USA “One of psychology’s unsung gifts to the world is evidence-based advice on how to understand and remember material. Dr. Penn’s book is an excellent invitation to these fascinating and enormously practical discoveries—including guidance on how they can be applied to studying in the age of AI.” Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, USA, and author of 'When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows…: Common Knowledge and the Mysteries of Money, Power, and Everyday Life'
