The book is a guide to master hard skills quickly in any category, including languages, science, programming, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing of Scott for many years, this was a great opportunity to connect with him around the same time that his current book was coming out for people to read and take note of. I first found Scott&#8217;s blog when I was writing on my blog Timeless Information, and his content always made sense to me as valuable material, and this was only the case with a few blogs at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had a great chat here, and Scott is thoughtful about all the content he has put out in text, audio, video, and illustrated form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Show notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>how ultralearning methods can lead you more quickly through the process of understanding than conventional learning methods<\/li><li>what the MIT Challenge that Scott created was about, and how he documented his process through the experience<\/li><li>why the likely improvement or adjustment to the general school system is likely to come from outside the built-in system that exists<\/li><li>what it is that leads to the title of the book being <em>Ultralearning<\/em>, instead of just the title <em>Learning<\/em><\/li><li>how you distill and refine the essence of learning well, by looking at individuals who have learned a lot quickly<\/li><li>what it can take to see problems from a broader perspective that sees the macro features and gives less weight to micro details<\/li><li>what languages Scott has learned, and how he would quickly learn a language in a new country<\/li><li>how the feel you have during learning can be more important than a specific method you should use to learn<\/li><li>and more<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"225: Scott H.

His book <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ultralearning-Master-Outsmart-Competition-Accelerate\/dp\/006285268X\">Ultralearning<\/a><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ultralearning-Master-Outsmart-Competition-Accelerate\/dp\/006285268X\"> is available on Amazon<\/a>. Separate from that, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/\">his blog<\/a> that I read from back in 2009 continues to have great content that he writes, his Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ScottHYoung\">@ScottHYoung<\/a> includes his quick insights or thoughts (along with series&#8217; of tweets), and his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/ScottHYoungVid\">YouTube channel<\/a> showcases some of his learning adventures and interviews or discussions about books. I see Scott continuing to put out content in the learning and growth categories for years to come, growing his audience and reach. To more great things~.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.armenshirvanian.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Ultralearning.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-965\" width=\"226\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.armenshirvanian.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Ultralearning.jpg 331w, https:\/\/www.armenshirvanian.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Ultralearning-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 226px) 100vw, 226px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_3406\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-961-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/thearmenshow\/www.armenshirvanian.com\/podcast\/episodes\/tas225scotthyoung.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/thearmenshow\/www.armenshirvanian.com\/podcast\/episodes\/tas225scotthyoung.mp3\">http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/thearmenshow\/www.armenshirvanian.com\/podcast\/episodes\/tas225scotthyoung.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/thearmenshow\/www.armenshirvanian.com\/podcast\/episodes\/tas225scotthyoung.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/www.armenshirvanian.com\/podcast\/?powerpress_pinw=961-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/thearmenshow\/www.armenshirvanian.com\/podcast\/episodes\/tas225scotthyoung.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"tas225scotthyoung.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armenshirvanian.com\/podcast\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The show continues forward with Scott H.
