A NEW book, ‘Secrets of Smart Learners,’ which offers insight into practical learning techniques and life-changing experiences for students has been launched in Accra.
Authored by Mr Richard Lanyo, a Child Evangelist, researcher and a motivational speaker, the book comes with 14 secrets to make the reader not only good at learning but an effective learner.
The book gives readers an antidote to trial and error learning, provides helpful tips for better academic results and shows how to identify, prevent or change a learning-deficiency and improve upon it.
It also gives tips for learners to conquer fear, explore, absorb materials quickly and effectively, streamline and maximise study for high marks, improve upon their communication skills through critical thinking.
The book is packed with biblical and intellectual quotations, entertaining cartoons, and hilarious sayings.
Launching the book , Mr Carl Banini, The Principal of QSPM Consult, a Quantity Surveyor Firm, said smart learners possessed information that made them successful adding that the book contained such information “to make its readers who go by the tenets of the book to succeed.”
He described the book as useful for all ages and recommended it to everyone willing to become a successful learner.
Reviewing the book , Mr Kwesi Novieto, the Administrative Manager of Global Evangelical Church, said “everything in life has its secrets which is the correct way of doing things that needed to be discovered.”
“Secrets of Smart Learners is a priceless collection of proven tips, tools and techniques to turn you into a super-achiever, even if you’ve never thought of yourself as a ‘gifted’ student or person,” he noted.
Mr Richard Lanyo said he was motivated to write the book because he had always wanted to be a cheerleader and a mentor to students who wanted to excel academically but felt unsupported within the family or community.
“Most college students believe that grade ‘A’ can be achieved only through cramming and painful all-night studies, but real grade ‘A’ students don’t study harder, they study smarter,” he said.
He added that the book was also meant to motivate people to place high premium on education and pursuit higher education.
Mr Richard Lanyo, an Mphil holder from the University of Ghana, is the author of other books including; “Integrated Science for Senior High Schools” and “How to enjoy your life.”
The first five copies of the book were auctioned for GH¢500.00 each.
