Lauren Waldman (The Learning Pirate) | How the brain learns things and how to become a better learner by understanding neuroscience

What's the best way to really learn something?

Are learning styles still a thing? What about speed reading?

What's complete BS in accelerated learning and what actually works?

What does Neuroscience tell us about how we should teach or learn?

Why is Lauren called 'The Learning Pirate'?

If you're curious about the answers to these questions and the latest developments in learning science, you're going to love this episode of Speaking of Influence with The Learning Pirate Lauren Waldman.

Lauren specialises in translating the latest scientific developments in neuroscience and learning science to implementable action we can do to improve our own learning and our teaching of information too.

There's a lot of BS out there in the personal development world, so we get into what's real and what isn't. As someone who is fascinated in this area, it was great to separate the science from the pseudoscience and speak with a real expert. Lauren really knows her stuff and I'm sure you'll enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Who's ready to be an even better learner?
