Success can be a better teacher than failure because while it's important to learn from mistakes and cope with failure, succeeding from the start by learning the right way can lead to more success. In many situations, there are numerous ways to approach a problem, but only a few lead to success. Learning the right approach initially can be more efficient than going through multiple failures before finding success. This concept holds true from an information theory perspective, emphasizing the value of starting with successful strategies.

How can you master hard skills more quickly? Accelerate your career? Be more productive and live a better life? Since 2006, Scott Young has been writing to try to find answers to these questions with books such as Ultralearning, hundreds of articles, and courses such as Make It Happen. In the last few days he has finished another major book on learning called Get Better At Anything.

In this podcast you will learn:

Why success is often a better teacher than failure
Why copying and innovation are complementary
Why most learning doesn't transfer between contexts
