Trevor Ragan, Founder of The Learner Lab, has spent years extensively engaging with experts on a multitude of topics. Through his natural curiosity, he’s uncovered how we learn, what gets in our way, and how we can get better at it. The result? Three key takeaways.

— Learning itself is a skill—which means we can get better at it.
— Getting better at learning will benefit anyone in any environment.
— Learning is the answer to mostly everything.

Having hosted over a thousand workshops, from Fortune-500 companies to universities to prisons, his extensive research has turned complex conversations with psychologists and neuroscientists into simple, actionable steps. The tactics he teaches are broadly applicable.

Through LEARNER, Ragan shares his message with the wider world for the first time. Accessible in tone, vivid in anecdote, and exhilarating in its wisdom, LEARNER fits perfectly into an immensely popular space in the book market. Learner speaks to readers hungry to improve themselves with generous energy and a holistic approach to the art of learning.

Trevor Ragan is the founder of The Learner Lab—an educational website designed to unpack and share the science of learning and development. He spends his time with thought leaders and researchers from the worlds of psychology and developmental science, consumes their research, connects the dots, and shares it with anyone that will listen. He’s worked with professional, college, and olympic sports teams, Fortune 50 companies, prisons, and in hundreds of schools across the country. These workshops are designed to help people understand and apply important principles of development, in order to become better, more resilient learners.
