Features: Focusing only on school learning is the beginning of life's failure! The illiteracy of the 21st century is not those who lack knowledge, but those who cannot learn. There has never been an era like today that requires continuous, on-the-go, and fast-efficient learning. The era when knowledge acquired in school could suffice for everything is gone forever. The world is debating the question: What should schools teach? In our view, the most important should be two "subjects"—learning how to learn and learning how to think. Teaching someone a fish only solves an immediate need, while teaching them how to fish solves their lifelong needs. The United States is known for the saying "Harvard came first, then America," not only because Harvard was founded earlier, but also because it particularly emphasizes personal creativity, which is the core spirit of America. And learning ability is the foundation of creativity. What is learning ability? It is a combination of learning skills, motivation, attitude, and innovation ability. Without learning ability, there is no creativity, and the exhaustion of creativity also means the exhaustion of vitality. Therefore, Harvard has made it its ultimate goal to help students develop learning ability that will benefit them throughout their lives. In this way, it is no wonder that seven U.S. presidents and one-third of the CEOs of Fortune Global 500 companies have studied at Harvard. In Learning Power, describes effective ways to improve learning from six aspects: learning motivation, attitude, ability, efficiency, and creativity. The essence of learning power emphasized in this book is fundamentally different from the knowledge acquired through traditional learning methods. The former is a continuously increasing process, while the latter is a rapidly decreasing one. Therefore, Learning Power is particularly suitable for readers who are stuck in traditional learning methods and those who desire stronger survival abilities. Learning power is competitiveness.
