David Howell

    David Howell has dedicated nearly 40 years to studying and teaching the skills of intelligence and learning. For the same period, he has studied and taught martial arts. His passions stemmed from personal struggles during his high school years, battling illness and a difficult home life. Illness led to severe bullying, and abuse impacted his academic performance, with one teacher deeming him "too stupid to learn." Howell understands how to overcome these challenges and writes to share these strategies with others. Through his writing, he aims to empower readers to easily leverage their intelligence for success in any life domain, employing an analytical yet plain-spoken approach focused on maximum results.
