One Simple Technique to Boost Writing, Learning and Thinking - for Students, Academics and Nonfiction Book Writers".The key to good and efficient writing lies in the intelligent organisation of ideas and notes.

It suits students and academics in the social sciences and humanities, nonfiction writers and others who are in the business of reading, thinking and writing.Instead of wasting your time searching for your notes, quotes or references, you can focus on what really counts: thinking, understanding and developing new ideas in writing.Dr. S nke Ahrens is a writer and researcher in the field of education and social science.

Looping playback is a valuable study tool. It helps me grasp complex content and retain information. This audiobook performed its function without excelling. The narrator's delivery was straightforward and easy to follow, though lacking in dramatic flair. The recording quality was decent with only occasional minor inconsistencies in volume. An acceptable but forgettable listening experience.
