Story
Before the discovery of insulin, diabetes was treated almost exclusively through diet, from subsistence on meat, to reliance on fats, to repeated fasting and near-starvation regimens. After two centuries of conflicting medical advice, most authorities today believe that those with diabetes can have the same dietary freedom enjoyed by the rest of us, leaving the job of controlling their disease to insulin therapy and other blood-sugar-lowering medications.

Have you ever walked into a room and couldn't remember what you went there for? Have you ever grasped the hand of a potential client and then when the handshake broke, the name seemed to disappear from your memory? Or have you ever left a prospect or an important meeting and as you drove away remembered a key point that you should have shared with them? The problem is NOT with your memory. The problem is with the "Filing System" your brain currently uses to store and retrieve memory items.

Solid guidelines
Been struggling to teach myself game development in my spare time, I have ADHD and even with meds the sheer scope of what I need to learn in terms of programming and 3D asset creation and animation has proven overwhelming at times, and I've realized more and more that I need a system to manage the learning and retain what I've been learning. I'll applying a lot of this, thanks for the tips!

Excellent book - it has everything you need
Look no further - this is literally the only book you will need to improve your ability to learn.
Whether a student seeking to improve your retention, understanding and grades or a professional seeking to master a new subject - this book has everything you need. It’s clear, to the point, referenced and doesn’t ramble on like some other publications do - great if you have time, no so good if you don’t!
I also thoroughly enjoyed the narration - great voice, pace and tone.
Overall - highly recommended - thank you!!
