There's the classic How to Read a Book. Emphasis is on getting the most out of your reading material. It's a bit old and is grounded more in experience and sense than breakthroughs in neuroscience.
In general if someone tells you that his learning advice is based on neuroscience and a theoretical understanding of the brain as opposed to what empirical works for people, don't listen to them.
