About the author
Ferdinand Brand teaches level 4 Social Work at mboRijnland in Leiden, in Dutch vocational education (mbo, which is broadly comparable to further education in England). He has a master’s degree in Learning & Innovation and works as an expert teacher. He is the author of Denk anders, leer meer, first published in Dutch in 2019 by Study Mastery, and of the renewed English edition, Different thinking, better learning (2026). The book brings together research from psychology, education and neurology — based on more than 100 research articles — with examples from his work with students.
