For those who are looking for ways to improve on how we learn, I recommend the book "Make it stick": http://www.makeitstick.net/

It was a real eye opener for me.

For similar content in video lecture form, "Learning How To Learn" covers the same topics, and is free from Coursera:

https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn

It's taught by Barbara Oakley, and the content of her book "A Mind For Numbers" is complementary to "Make It Stick."

+1 for the Learning How To Learn MOOC. Short and easy to follow, but high quality content.
