The Introvert Advantage dispels common myths about introverts - they’re not necessarily shy, aloof, or antisocial - and explains how they are hardwired from birth to focus inward, so outside stimulation such as chitchat, phone calls, parties, or office meetings can easily become "too much". Most importantly, it thoroughly refutes many introverts’ belief that something is wrong with them. Instead, it helps them recognize their inner strengths - their analytical skills, ability to think outside the box, and strong powers of concentration.

Helpful overview of the science behind acquiring skills
I am currently learning guitar and Spanish and work in a very skill intensive job in health care. I am interested in any information that allows me to acquire skills more efficiently. I have also studied neuroscience and psychology in the past so I can vouch to the credibility of his work. I found the information helpful. However I enjoyed Peter Hollin’s other work on “Building a Better Brain” more interesting and easier to follow because it was a more broad overview. This book was more specific in skill acquisition specifically. The narration was on point which made listening to the book palatable. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone that is interested in psychology/neuroscience and would like specifics behind how skill acquisition occurs

A great tutorial on learning
This is my second book by Peter Hollins. The first was Build a Better Brain. The Science of Rapid Skill Acquisition is similar in that it combines the research of the "why" with the instructions to complete the "how". The
Science of Rapid Skill Acquisition is much more aggressive in what you should and should not do where as the Build a Better Brain was more academic. I strongly believe that the skills and methods the author writes about should be taught in the middle school level, if not earlier. How to learn is much more important than what too learn.
Russell Newton is a fantastic narrator. His voice and diction are well suited for this type of material.

Super analytical and surprisingly simple
Here we have a surprisingly simple step-by-step guide that will walk you through an exceptionally in-depth and analytical process of learning and improving new skills.
As this is non-fiction, my only real demand of the narrator is that he was an easy voice that is pleasant to listen to, which Russell Newton fits well.
Some of the processes detailed in the book seem rather obvious, while others were things I had never considered before.
For anyone who enjoys methodical, analytical processes, this will absolutely lay a fantastic groundwork that will lead you to the skillset you're looking for.

Overall: I'm satisfied.
Well, as someone who is quite interested in personal development there wasn't something entirely new to me in this book, but still it was 4 hours well spend for me.
The information was legit, well-structured and told.
Narration was decent and I didn't felt lost anywhere.
It was good for me to refresh and reinforce my knowledge and I believe it would be a good book for people who haven't read much or made research on personal development before.

Very Helpful
The book was very interesting and not only explained some better ways to learn and study but it was also enlightening as to why some people see things differently based on the way they learn. The educational side of it was interspersed with anecdotes and examples from the author’s life. It was very enjoyable for a book about learning.
As an audio book the only downside was that I felt as some points I should be taking notes. There were great summaries at the end of each chapter similar to a text book. I would suggest to the author to look into the option to provide a brief pdf outline with the audio book as there were several lists and suggestions I wouldn’t mind having written down.
I was provided with a free copy of this audio book for my honest review. The views expressed here are entirely my own.

The title uses the word "science" in the title but rarely sites works. This seemed a bit misleading. It appeared that a lot of what he said was like a parent giving advice to a child. However, I liked hearing his thoughts. It gave me ideas to consider and test in my own experience.
The narrator sounded like AI so I didn't rank it high.

planning on learning a new skill? Read this first
This book gives a comprehensive breakdown of the science of learning. It's aimed at a broad audience so it is nice and easy to follow but covers all of the core concepts you need to know about to ensure you are learning effectively. Whether you want to learn Spanish, master the trombone or just get the most out of you revision for an exam this book will help you to achieve your learning goals. I'm off to listen again as, after all, repetition will help me to learn more thoroughly!

Ramble on & on, give it a miss
This book rambles on forever.
I did get some good insights “skill stacking” for example.
But to my thinking the book doesn’t go close to presenting Rapid Skill Acquisition.
Save your precious time & give this book a miss.
It’s ironic, the book talks about not wasting time & yet, I just wasted a lot of my time listening.
