0:00.0	Hello friends. This week I'm very happy to say that we are going to learn how to
0:06.6	learn. Peter C. Brown is the co-author of Make It Stick. That book is about
0:14.5	the seminars you can get in the world of learning to learn. No matter what your
0:20.2	area of pursuit in life, it's pretty likely that being able to expedite your
0:26.2	capacity to intake information and then recall it at will is probably going to be
0:33.1	pretty useful. That doesn't matter if it's learning a new subject or learning a
0:38.4	new physical skill. If it's knitting or archery or law, all of them require you

1:32.7	give us a five-star rating. I don't really know if it helps, but it
1:37.8	strokes the ego a little bit. So do it if you can. But now we're going to learn
1:42.4	how to learn Peter Brown. Bring it on.
1:49.1	Mr. Peter Brown, welcome to Modern Wisdom. Thank you, Chris. It's great to be here. How
2:06.1	are you today? I'm doing just Dandy. It's a middle of summer here in Minnesota. It's
