Paola Vacca Audiobooks

Brevity is the argument here as much as the format. Paola Vacca writes about learning, and both entries with us come in at well under ninety minutes apiece, which is either a gimmick or a demonstration of the thesis. On the evidence, it is the latter.

Learn Faster, Forget Less deals with retention, the part of study most people neglect until an exam is upon them. Micro Habits for Massive Knowledge approaches the same ground from the opposite side, treating knowledge as something accumulated in very small daily deposits rather than in heroic weekend sessions.

Scott LeCote reads both, which gives them a consistent voice and makes them easy to take back to back in a sitting of well under three hours.

Begin with whichever problem is yours: forgetting what you learn, or never quite starting. Neither has gathered listener scores yet, so treat them as a fresh proposition. Both entries are listed below.
