Today I want to speak to you about a topic that was discussed in a course I took this summer at Gothenburg University (GU). The lecturer, a professor emeritus by the name of Guy Heyden is somewhat of an embodiment of the generalist concept. He’s been active in more fields than I can pronounce, spanning everything from pathology, anthropology, histology, dentistry to sociology and oral health. Today’s article stems from the lectures that he delivered at GU a few weeks ago. Read More
As human beings we are constantly in one learning process after the other. One of the most active period of learning came during our early childhood. A child learns thousands of different concepts, impressions and words in a matter of months. To replicate that period of learning isn’t really possible. But what we can do is try to rekindle that thirst for knowledge as much as possible. If you want to learn and understand the learning process you have to be willing to buckle up and get down to business. Read More
I recently had an encounter with an old professor of mine. As an expert in Environmental Science she is always quick in to remind me to view the whole picture, never to look at a certain pollution as an endemic phenomenon but instead as intricate part in a bigger cycle.
Thus, she claimed that a student as brilliant as myself (her wording was a little different) would benefit more if I actually attended her classes (what an outrageous statement, don’t ya think?). She -much like most teachers- claimed that the best way to study is by engaging all senses into the process, the more the merrier.
Here’s where I disagree. Read More
I’m a huge optimist, there is no question of that, but despite this one has to acknowledge that sometimes there is no point in continuing…
You have to quit.
The problem is, how can you decide when to quit and when to continue?
Do you need personal life coaching? Well, I don’t think there’s a need to be coached when you can do it yourself! That’s why I will discuss two “bulletproof” ways of coaching yourself. Take them or leave them as you wish!
Howdy! Feels great to be back on the old computer again. Today, I wanted to speak about an important subject.
I’ve ranted about education a lot these days but today I want to move away from being the nasty guy who complaints about everything and become the dude with the solutions.
Let’s be frank here…
If you are truly serious, and I believe you to be, about improving your study results there are currently 3 different options you can take:

That’s a weird title, don’t you think? To be honest, I wouldn’t recommend you to smoke pot nor to multitask (although the former is much worse than multitasking). Let me tell you why I wrote such an obscure header. Read More
This is a little something that came to my mind quite recently. The following is NOT based on any research, just a simple logical conclusion I made a little while ago.
Still, I think it’s worth a thought. Read More
In some people minds; yes. The reality is of course the opposite, food may be vital for your survival but it is not vital for your success. Why have I decided to rant about this today? Well for starters, I am sick and tired of people claiming that eating breakfast will solve every problem on earth. Read More
Howdy! For those of you who missed my bad sophisticated excuse for not posting for a long while, you might want to check out the previous post… Having that said, let us dive into this subject with no further due.
Have you ever purchased a study guide that promises to teach all these great and amazing “study secrets” that no one has ever heard of? In most cases, this type of hype does not carry any real content or any fulfillment to the many promises that has been made. Except for this study guide of course (it is written by me after all 
). Hence, It will be my duty today to try to guide you on how to find out the real study techniques that lead to success in your studies. Read More
