A Mind for Numbers
A Mind for Numbers asks whether mathematical and scientific ability is fixed or learnable. Barbara Oakley pairs her own retraining story with a practical account of focused and diffuse thinking, chunking, memory, practice, procrastination, and testing. The framework shows how to build durable understanding and more reliable recall through deliberate study.
Make It Stick
Make It Stick asks why rereading, cramming, and other fluent-feeling habits produce fragile learning, and how retrieval, spacing, varied practice, reflection, feedback, and calibrated self-testing build durable knowledge. It connects memory research to classrooms, professional training, and everyday mastery, giving learners a framework for knowledge that transfers.
Ultralearning
Ultralearning asks how people can acquire difficult skills through intense, self-directed projects rather than passive study alone. It examines how to map a goal, focus attention, practice in context, retrieve and retain knowledge, build intuition, use feedback, and experiment—then shows how to evaluate, maintain, or extend what a project teaches.
