If you believe something is true and then you're proven to be wrong, you're far more likely to retain that information.
Ever wondered how some people seem to pick up new skills effortlessly? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Ulrich Boser, a best-selling author and senior fellow at The Center for American Progress. Boser shares insights from his book, 'Learn Better: Mastering the Skills for Success in Life, Business or School - or - How to Become an Expert in Just About Anything'.
His research dives into the science behind learning and offers practical tips to enhance your ability to learn. Zimmer kicks off the episode with the parable of the two wolves, a story that underscores the importance of feeding our minds with the right information. Boser takes this idea further by emphasizing active engagement in learning. Forget passive reading or listening; Boser argues that real learning happens when you actively interact with new information.
One of the key takeaways is the importance of feedback. While it might be uncomfortable, seeking out critical feedback is essential for growth. Boser also delves into the intricate dance between our thoughts and feelings, explaining how they can influence our learning processes. The episode is packed with practical strategies like using analogies, relationships, low-stakes quizzes, brain dumps, and spaced repetition to boost retention and understanding.
Boser’s approach isn’t just about memorizing facts; it's about truly grasping concepts and applying them effectively. Whether you're looking to excel in school, advance in your career, or simply become a lifelong learner, this conversation offers valuable insights and actionable advice. Tune in to discover how to become a more effective learner and unlock your full potential.
