Connecting to the domain of personal growth and self development, Chris Brogan, professional speaker, community and social media guru and author of the New York Times bestseller "Trust Agents", on his website has done a review of a book by Nick Morgan, "Give Your Speech, Change the World: How to Move Your Audience to Action." The reason I bring it up here on my blog is much symmetry between Chris' topic and the topic of recent posts here on my blog - learning and learning techniques.
Both speaking and learning we acquire and practice naturally, almost effortlessly. Therefore, learning to speak and to learn appears rather superfluous at first sight, or even an oxymoron when it comes to learning to learn. We are not sure what to expect of it, or we are outright skeptical. However, when we do give it a try in spite of everything, our reactions are frequently along the lines of Chris Brogan's reaction to Nick Morgan's book about speaking - "well, I took tons from it, and you might, too, either as a beginner or someone with some speeches under your belt."
By all means, read Nick Morgan's book, and at the same time give learning about learning a try too - you might find yourself taking tons from it. Yes, there is a difference between (just) learning and learning (consciously) - "Learn Consciously, Rock Your World: How To Move Yourself Confidently In The Direction Of Your Dreams."
