Visualization, memory, reading and research skills
Many learners read extensively yet feel uncertain about what they truly understand. Complex texts feel overwhelming, key ideas slip away, and knowledge remains fragmented rather than usable. This gap between reading and real understanding is one of the central challenges of modern learning. These challenges are explored in depth in The Key to Study Skills …
As reading skills advance, the challenge is no longer speed alone; it is control. Knowing when to slow down, what to retain, and how to navigate complex, heterogeneous texts becomes far more important than raw words per minute. Advanced readers do not treat all text equally; they adapt their strategy dynamically. The Key to Study …

Human learning is shaped as much by how we see as by how we think. Vision, language, and memory work together to determine what we notice, how we interpret information, and how effectively we retain it. From the words we use to describe what we see, to the way the brain stitches fragments of text …

A lack of intelligence rarely causes modern learning struggles. More often, they arise from inefficient perception, weak attention, and overloaded memory systems. The human brain receives enormous amounts of information, yet processes only a fraction effectively. What if perception itself could be trained to work smarter? This idea lies at the heart of Brain Hacking …

You have heard the expression “Trust your gut.” But what does it really mean? Is intuition a mystical gift, or is it based on the complicated processes of the human brain and body? The sixth sense, or the intuition, is the capacity of the brain to process large quantities of information without conscious thinking and …

Most people assume that reading faster automatically means understanding less. That belief alone keeps millions of readers trapped at slow speeds, rereading lines, losing focus, and forgetting what they just read. The truth is more encouraging: speed and comprehension are not enemies; when approached correctly, they reinforce each other. The Key to Study Skills (2nd …

Most students try to improve their learning by reading faster or taking better notes. Very few realize that the real bottleneck is how information is encoded in the brain. This is where visualization and creative markers become powerful. In The Key to Study Skills (2nd Edition): Simple Strategies to Double Your Reading, Memory, and Focus, …

In an age where information is abundant but attention is scarce, many learners struggle not because they lack intelligence, but because they lack an effective system. Reading feels slow, memory feels unreliable, and focus breaks under pressure. This is exactly the problem addressed in my book, The Key to Study Skills (2nd Edition): Simple Strategies …
