Written by two Ivy League graduates who struggled with learning disabilities and ADHD, Learning Outside the Lines teaches students how to take control of their education and find true success with brilliant and easy study suggestions and tips.

Every day, your school, your teachers, and even your peers draw lines to measure and standardize intelligence. They decide what criteria make one person smart and another person stupid. They decide who will succeed and who will just get by. Perhaps you find yourself outside the norm, because you learn differently—but, unlike your classmates, you have no system in place that consistently supports your ability and desire to learn. Simply put, you are considered lazy and stupid. You are expected to fail.

Learning Outside the Lines is written by two such “academic failures”—that is, two academic failures who graduated from Brown University at the top of their class. Jonathan Mooney and David Cole teach you how to take control of your education and find true success—and they offer all the reasons why you should persevere. Witty, bold, and disarmingly honest, Learning Outside the Lines takes you on a journey toward personal empowerment and profound educational change, proving once again that rules sometimes need to be broken.

Reviews

Last December I was a college student with ADHD without hyper activity (formerly known as ADD) convinced that I would be expelled from school due to my grades. Try as I might I have never done well at school- no matter how hard I try I seem to come up short. I literally was considering the unthinkable to avoid the embarrassment of failing out of college and to end all the pain. A wonderful professor saw my struggle, sat me down and let me cry. Afterwards, she handed me this book to read over winter break. It was as if the authors had seen my life from inside my head. This book was exactly what I needed to revive me and give me the courage to face my challenges. As it turns out I didn’t even need to worry about my grades but my worry had blown things out of proportion With Learning Outside the Lines in hand I came back to campus in January with a new outlook on my life.
