  • Discerning what knowledge or skills to fill your deficiencies is crucial for effective learning.

Deep dives

Learning through targeted reading

The speaker emphasizes that they do not simply read books for the sake of reading, but instead read books targeted to specific problems they need to solve. For example, if they need to learn about copywriting, they will read multiple books on that topic in a short period of time. They believe that aiming to read a book a week can be counterproductive and lead to mental masturbation rather than actual progress.
