But that does not mean this learning is lost forever. Without returning to the classroom, this book will help you reassemble the fragments of your education. In "I've Forgotten Everything I Learned in School!" vos Savant takes you into her own private classroom and shows you how to incorporate her secrets of understanding into your own daily learning process. She shows you how to look at problems and everyday events in new and mind-expanding ways, how to use logic and reasoning in a manner you never dreamed possible, and how to be truly creative - whether with your family or with the boss.

With sixteen individual "books" filled with vital information anddozens of clever quizzes, vos Savant presents a dual-purpose program that combines sixteen thinking skills and sixteen primary fields of knowledge, a comprehensive volume that takes you through all the basic learning techniques.
