Ultralearning: Accelerate Your Career, Master Hard Skills and Outsmart the Competition

Ultralearning: Accelerate Your Career, Master Hard Skills and Outsmart the Competition by Scott Young sets out an approach to continual learning designed for fast-changing working lives. It is presented as an essential guide to staying relevant, reinventing yourself and adapting as the workplace evolves.

Synopsis

Set against tumultuous economic conditions and rapid technological change, the book argues that getting ahead depends on lifelong mastery of new ideas, subjects and skills. Young draws on research into effective learning methods, alongside accounts of “ultralearners” including Ben Franklin, Judit Polgar, Richard Feynman and Nigel Richards, who won the World Championship of French Scrabble without knowing French.

He documents the methods used in ultralearning projects and positions ultralearning as a practical tool that can be applied to career, study and life. The book explores this subculture, outlines nine principles behind successful projects, and offers guidance on organising and executing a plan to learn deeply and quickly without teachers or budget-busting tuition costs.
