So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science!

For many years I sold the Dale Carnegie Course on Effective Communications and Human Relations. Many of the people who enrolled in that course wanted to be better speakers and presenters.

Everyone has favorite writers. Books and other scholars that they return to again and again. Well, if you don’t, perhaps you might consider it. Some of my favorite writings speak to my current work. Other writing is not so obviously useful. In fact its very pleasure might well lie in its non-immediacy. In the fact that it isn’t utilitarian. My favorite writings are those that always have something to offer, regardless of what I’m doing.
