Episode notes

Dario De Silva was my last podcast guest. One of the questions he wanted to ask you was what advice would you give yourself 10 years ago? Keep on trucking. You're on a good path. I think that's great advice, especially at 19 myself. What are three books that have resonated with you most? War and Peace and War by Peter Turchin. The Enrhythms of the Brain by Jorgi Busaki.

Dr. Oakley has a diverse background in linguistics going into military service after high school before coming back to get her Ph.D. in engineering. At a young age she believed she wasn't capable of learning math but through applying active studying techniques and learning how to learn overcame her ambivalences. Using her story and knowledge she teaches the popular course, Learning How To Learn and has written many books on learning including A Mind For Numbers, Mindshift, and Learn Like A Pro.

In this podcast you will learn:

The mistake most students make learning for school
Highest leverage studying techniques
How to change your mindset to learn math and science
