Textbook Reading: An Experience with Intelligence

If you have ever struggled while learning from textbooks, this book will demonstrate how that struggle is an intelligent part of the learning process. The author uses a short story to illustrate how the mind and emotions can work together to learn with confidence. Part II of the book explains how the reader can profit from the presence of anxiety, confusion, frustration and boredom while reading and solving the problems of learning. One result is an improvement in your abilities to find and solve the problems that are in your way. But the biggest benefit is the experience of knowing your own intelligence. When you have finished the book, you will know how intelligent people think.
