Ultralearning

Master Hard Skills, Outsmart the Competition, and Accelerate Your Career

Book • 2019

In 'Ultralearning,' Scott H. Young presents a strategy for acquiring skills and knowledge in a self-directed and intense manner.

The book incorporates the latest research on effective learning methods and includes stories of other ultralearners such as Benjamin Franklin, Judit Polgár, and Richard Feynman.

Young outlines nine key principles for successful ultralearning projects, including metalearning, focus, directness, drilling, testing, retrieval, intuition, and experimentation.

These principles help readers learn efficiently, concentrate on their goals, and convert knowledge into practical skills.

The book is designed to help anyone improve their career, studies, and life by mastering new skills quickly and effectively.
