Hi friends,
Another week, another episode full of interesting podcasts and articles.
This week’s theme is Learning How to Learn, arguably one of the most valuable skills one can acquire. Imagine, having the ability to learn everything if you set your mind to it.
That, my friends, is exactly what mastering the skill of learning can do for you.
"The fastest way to improve is to learn from others.
Read good books
Talk to people who have done it
Soak up the lessons of the past
Learn from the experiment’s history that has already run and you can start the race halfway finished."
Without further ado, let’s dive into this week’s resources:
