Lately, I have been learning about how learning works. I will be going through all of the following resources, summarize them, and recombine everything into a coherent, generic plan for learning ANYthing new: - Barbara Oakley's "Learning How To Learn" course (the MOST popular MOOC ever!) - Ultralearning by Scott H. Young - How People Learn - National Academies Press - The Art of Learning - Joshua Waitzkin - Learning: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford Press) - The First 20 Hours - Josh Kaufman - 4-hour chef: Tim Ferris - Mastery - Robert Greene - Mindstorms - Seymour Papert - Pragmatic Thinking and Learning - Andy Hunt - Classical material about learning by various polymaths like Richard Feynman, Nicky Case, John Denker, Derek Sivers etc - And more I intend to collect the unadulterated summaries of each of these into a book form, and then add a final chapter of my own which puts everything together and gives a template action plan or a flowchart that anyone can use for learning a skill. I will take up a few learning challenges of my own, so that what I learn from all this content is also grounded practically and gets tested in the real world. I hope to turn this into just a single book that one needs to read to get ideas from all of the above masters. Would someone like to join me in co-authoring this project? Expect to spend about 100 hours of effort over next 3 months.

I think this is super interesting! Especially considering what you're building :)

Hey anon , this is so cool . Im a voracious reader and im not sure of co-authoring but I'd love to definitely contribute to this . Let's connect and im super excited and look forward to the outcome .

@rich-diamond-63253 DM me your email.

Anon I really like this idea, having said that I think the process of learning works differently for everyone. Maybe having categories for different kind of ways people tend to learn things. I also think you should include not just the ways these masters tell, but also people in general and their ways and experiences, stories. I think that will make it even better, since it helps people to relate a lot more. I would love to help out, not sure about co-authoring though 😅.

@millions-lock-70396 Yes, all of us co-authors will take on learning projects of our own for these 3 months, and incorporate the experiences. And a plan for learning in my mind is not a sequence, but a flow chart: you can personalize it to what works for you.

Yes exactly @acceptable-flag-71699 I also feel the same it's not a kind of sequence exactly but rather a more broader thing like a flow chart or mind map. That's great then, would love to help out!

Hey @acceptable-flag-71699, I have read some of the books on your list. And Im reading through Ultralearning this week. And I do have a project in mind to apply Ultralearning's principles. It primarily centers around learning a programming technology. But I plan to start in the month of October. If you think we can still collaborate, let me know.

Let us know when final output is live, will definitely buy to improve and learn more

@swift-pilot-25722 👍

Hi @acceptable-flag-71699 super interested, I’ve already studied and experimented on this. Have already done Learning how to learn Have read Mastery Have done some research on the Feynman Technique, and try to apply to it as much as possible I try to remember whatever I learn in spaced repetetion pattern For me the idea was to pick up a self-learning project ex- language, dance, etc and then becoming good at it in 3 months. A lot of this has been on my IMPossible List

Might not be able to dedicate that much, but can help designing the final thing (if it has a visual format).

@tall-advantage-5586 Awesome! Will ping you when it's time.
