Ultralearning with Scott Young
In my interview with Scott Young we discuss some of the nine principles that can help anyone become an Ultra-Learner. Scott defines ‘ultralearning’ as self-directed and aggressive learning. Whilst we don’t delve in as deep as the depths of his book does, there is certainly some valuable tools and insights to be had.
Whether the goal is to be fluent in a language (or ten languages), earn the equivalent of a college degree in a fraction of the time, or master multiple tools to build a product or business from the ground up, the principles in Ultralearning will guide you to success.
