Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement
The Feynman Technique: Learn to Master Anything
How to break down complexity and build true understanding.
Richard Feynman is a Nobel Prize-winning Physicist and is widely considered one of the greatest teachers ever.
He invented the razor "If someone uses a lot of complexity and Jargon to explain something, they probably don’t understand it."
His 4-step technique uncovers the gaps lurking in our knowledge so we can truly master something.
