Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
How We Learn
Knud Illeris · 2016
78/100
👍 Worth It
A comprehensive, internationally successful synthesis of learning theory that genuinely earns its place on the shelf of anyone studying education seriously. Illeris covers the emotional, social, and cognitive dimensions of learning in a way that most textbooks treat in isolation, and the breadth is real rather than superficial. Dense academic writing limits its appeal to general readers, but for education students and practitioners it is a strong, well-regarded foundational text.
