Posted on 14 December, 2020 / 1 min readI recently read the book Ultralearning by Scott H Young and started applying the techniques I learned to my own learning.

What is Ultralearning?
Ultralearning is a strategy for aggressive, self-directed learning.
It's a strategy — meaning a choice about how to pursue learning to get results.
It's aggressive — meaning aimed at doing what works, even if it's a little harder or intense.
It's self-directed — meaning you're the one in control. --Scott H Young
