NEW LEARNING HOW TO LEARN ARTICLE BY US

One of my favorite learning quotes is:

"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." —Benjamin Franklin

Knowing the incredible power of compound interest, this quote motivates me to learn.

But in the back of my mind, I've been wondering, does knowledge keep compounding or am I just fooling myself? What decreases and increases the compounding rate?

So, over the years, I've studied LEARNING HOW TO LEARN. As such, I've been studying what to do and what NOT to do.

In this article, I organized the five biggest learning how to learn mistakes that I make and I see others make in our Learning Ritual Course.

Hope the article brings value to you.

One of the things I'm most fascinated by is how people achieve world-class success and make a positive impact on a large scale whether they be an artist, entrepreneur, scientist, or athlete.

In this vein, I love uncovering different factors that are strong predictors for success, but aren't widely acknowledged yet. This article fits into that tradition.

I don't go into writing articles trying to prove a point. I go in with hunches, explore the research, and also attempt to prove myself wrong (and pay others to help). This process takes me in surprising directions that really transform my thinking on the world. This article is one of the ones that has had a really big impact on me.

I hope you find it valuable in some way too!
