>What the fuck is this piece of shit? I just finshed reading

>>8730839
bump i guess

There's too much to read to even consider reading something like this.

>>8731012
fair enough

>>8730839
STEMfags are retarded as fuck. Everybody and their mother is getting an engineering degree because they think that it will make them rich. What's gonna happen is STEM will be flooded with autistic drones who only work and play vidya, who barely know anything beyond the mundane modern existence and have already gone through death1. Robots, machines, out of touch with their own humanity in the face of increasing demands and stress of work, not to mention societal challenges. Most people in STEM right now do not have the mind for it. They're doomed for a living hell of becoming a 21st century blue collar worker.

lmao I just added this to my 'to read' list yesterday.

I was told it wasn't just for stem subjects, that it was the recommended book for learning 'how to learn' in general. Do you think that is correct OP? Probably still going to read it and make up my own mind.

some people don't care about those larger context. they make honest money, have a nice family and just live their lifes.

you - on the other hand - sound bitter

>>'If you aren't motivated enough, write your future salary on a piece of paper and hang it on your wall so that can see it while studying'.
That made me physically sick to read.

>>8731067
It's still a decent book of course.
If you already know about Anki and other basic learning techniques, you won't get much out it, though.

Oh, and if you are going to buy it, I would reommend buying it as a physical book.
There were many times I threw it in disgust through my room, a electronic device would not have survived this. Good luck!

The only book similar to this I've read was on how to deal with it procrastination habits. I find you don't really need that many techniques as long as you do the fucking work.

For some people "just living their lifes" means caring about the larger context. It's also entirely possible to make "honest money" outside of STEM. To be honest, depending on where you live, some STEM degrees are utterly worthless. My cousin drives a garbage truck because the economy tanked and nobody wants chemical engineers anymore. They're just not hiring new engineers, period. If he goes long enough without work, they won't even want him when the economy recovers.

Most people with a B.Sc. can make more money in construction than in their actual field.

I don't. What should I know?

Read this when I was trying to get into computer science. Needless to say, I'm now an English/Philosophy major.

>is a Professor of Engineering at Oakland University

this woman does not represent the stemfags, your superiors

A mathematical mind is vastly superior to some literature-esque faggotry. You know it, OP. You only got your degree in English literature because you were too retarded to do anything else with your life.

>>8731346
Why would he read a book on STEM study technique if he was an English major?

>>8730839
>Never read any book where the author's credentials are displayed on the front page (Dr X, X PhD etc.)
>Never read a book with a cartoon tree on the cover. It will either be for chicks, new age or both.

2 strikes, sorry.

>>8730839
What does this have to do with literature? What sort of retard would pick up this book?

>>8731346
You're confusing autism with intelligence.

The author doesn't have control over the book cover, the publisher does
