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.
