How can you master hard skills more quickly? Accelerate your career? Be more productive and live a better life? Since 2006, Scott Young has been writing to try to find answers to these questions with books such as Ultralearning, hundreds of articles, and courses such as Make It Happen. In the last few days he has finished another major book on learning called Get Better At Anything.

In this podcast you will learn:

Why success is often a better teacher than failure
Why copying and innovation are complementary
Why most learning doesn't transfer between contexts
