From chapter one:

From the results of surveys of more than 10,000 back-to-college and professional adults from around the country, I am convinced that The Kangaroo Method will unlock your verbal intelligence and give you the intellectual boost you have long been seeking. Imagine capturing how-to information, studying for an exam, or reading a challenging book in high definition. The insights and techniques I share here are those I hope you will put into your own words and share with your children.

“I have seen Donald Russell Woodruff in action, and he has mastered the art and science of learning. He is sharing his playbook for those who want to learn this vital skill. If you are going back to school or know someone who is, this should be the first book you pick up.” (Major Alvi Azad, psychiatrist and clinical fellow at Yale University)

"Delineating several common barriers to learning and offering ways in which to overcome these educational obstacles, Woodruff summarizes and simplifies the learning process. The Kangaroo Method embodies a truth about education (and ourselves), which, if applied, has the power to unlock our verbal intelligence and even increase our IQ."
