Make It Stick challenges common study habits and practice routines, revealing that underlining, highlighting, rereading, cramming, and single-minded repetition are counterproductive. Instead, the book suggests that self-testing, introducing difficulties in practice, waiting to re-study new material until a little forgetting has set in, and interleaving the practice of one skill or topic with another are more effective learning strategies. This book is a must-read for students, teachers, trainers, and athletes interested in lifelong learning and self-improvement.

In this book, Sy Montgomery explores the emotional and physical world of the octopus, a surprisingly complex, intelligent, and spirited creature, and the remarkable connections it makes with humans. The book chronicles the author's experiences with octopuses and their varied personalities and intelligence, and discusses the growing appreciation of their intelligence by scientists. The book is both entertaining and profound, revealing what octopuses can teach us about consciousness and the meeting of two very different minds.
