A New Way to Learn aims to myth-bust, disrupt, and transform outdated, never-stop, go-go-go ways of working.

If you ask a student, “how are you?”, the response will likely be, “tired,” “stressed,” or “burnt out”. Day after day, there are assignments to write, tests to study for, and presentations to prep, against a backdrop of relentless distractions. “Working harder,” “maximizing efficiency,” and hustle-and-grind culture hacks aren’t leading learners towards more success.

This book gives readers an inviting, reassuring, and practical guide to studying differently, in ways that leave them much less exhausted, and much more excited, resourced about what they’re learning. A New Way to Learn increases learners’ capacity to learn by revealing how to do it, and do it well.

Part I of the book looks at students’ relationship with time. No more shaming language of, “you just have to learn how to prioritise!”. The chapters in this section provide different ways to see and do time management, including challenging how this is usually conceived and presented. Part II is about new ways of studying. Most students were never taught to study, most teachers were never taught to study or to teach how to study, and most parents weren’t taught either. This section unlocks the strategies which will make a difference. Part III focuses on being productive: the focus will be upon the difficult tasks of beginning, moving through, and accomplishing hard work. A student’s life is dominated by reading (lots of it) and writing (even more of it). Part IV looks at new ways to accomplish reading and writing. The final part of the book gives an honest, innovative take on goal-setting. It will help readers to name their aims, show how to move towards their intentions, and shed light on how to tap into purpose.©2026 Deena Shaffer (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Wow. Who knew good learning has changed so much? When I was young, it was all brute memorization, last-minute cramming, and desperate avoidance. In this excellent book, Deena Kara Schaffer guides us through the best thinking - and the best practises - of a new generation of learning professionals. At the heart of this new thinking is a recognition and an honouring of our own natural rhythms and proclivities. Instead of crushing ourselves into the mould of what we imagine a good learner to be, we change the learning to fit the whole of who we are and how we show up in the world. Bonus: if you have an ADHD brain like mine, you can jump into this book pretty much anywhere and still get something out of it; no vitality-sucking Procrustean linear progressions necessary!
My dream book! Deena Shaffer nails it with her insights on learning, while introducing me to time management and sequencing skills I wish I had known sooner. Thank you, Deena.
In a world where so many young people are exhausted, overwhelmed, and feeling like they can never do enough, this book is both timely and deeply needed. As someone who works with children, families, and educators, I see first-hand how much pressure young people carry as they try to succeed, keep up, and figure out who they are. Too often, the message they receive is simply to ‘work harder’. A New Way to Learn offers a different path. What I love most about this book is that it doesn't ask students to become productivity machines. It reminds them that they are human beings first.
A master educator with years of experience working with thousands of students in post-secondary education, Dr. Shaffer brings research-based but down-to-earth strategies and insights to help students succeed. As she says so clearly throughout the book, “Try this today!” I highly recommend you do. It could be life changing.
This book beautifully centres the experiences of modern students and turns the complexity of academia into simple and achievable steps. It serves to 'translate' academic expectations into understandable goals.
A New Way to Learn is packed full of practical strategies for how to study, focus, work in groups, and find motivation when it feels really hard. It's everything you wish they taught in school, but don't. This is the missing handbook for students.
A New Way to Learn sees the complex individual in each student and provides a multitude of strategies based in care and self-kindness to suit every and any learner. Deena's writing is accessible and engaging as she provides modern and human-centred updates to traditional time management, goal setting, and learning strategies. This will be my new go-to recommendation for students at every level.
