A Few Fotos for Friday

August 23, 2013 Sal Leave a comment

Well, I do travel as part of the job and I like to take photos as I go, when I can. Just a little break from the grind. And hey, it’s Foto Friday!

Kind of an aeroplane theme today, as befits business travel.

Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning
by Peter C. Brown
Solid five stars - I'm adding it to my "must read" list. Everyone should get this book at an early age, and teachers should be issued the thing - now. It reviews the folly, through scientific research, of standard study methods such as ...

The Practicing Mind: Developing Focus and Discipline in Your Life
by Thomas M. Sterner
Very good example of the genre and well-read by the author, so there's nuance where it is intended. I'd like to hang it simply one the "mindfulness" peg, but it may be a bit more than that as it incorporates some learning strategies ...

by Jon Kabat-Zinn
Really didn't expect this to be a good read in an of itself; I grabbed it (as suggested) while preparing to begin Jon Kabat-Zinn's "Guided Mindfulness Meditation" Series 1. Quite glad I did. It does provide background and a discussion o...
