0:00.0 | Hello friends, welcome back to Modern Wisdom. |
0:03.2 | My guest today is Scott H. Jung and we are talking about his new book Ultra Learning. |
0:09.0 | This is a man who completed the MIT Computer Science degree which should take four years in |
0:15.4 | one year. |
0:16.7 | This means completing a module which should take around about a term in just over a week. |
0:23.0 | Every week for an entire year and then passing the exams at the end of it. |
0:27.9 | The forward for this book is by James Clear, author of Atomic Habits and previous Modern |
0:32.1 | Wisdom guest. |
0:33.4 | And the top subtitle above it is by Cal Newport. |
0:37.1 | So Scott is swimming in some very big, dicked waters at the moment. |
0:42.7 | And I absolutely love the book. |
0:43.9 | I love the discussion within. |

1:02.0 | of months. |
1:03.4 | And the strategies and tactics we go through today should help you improve your skill acquisition |

1:13.1 | I'd love to hear if there's a project that you've got going on at the moment which |
1:16.6 | you're going to try and apply some of these skills to. |
1:19.1 | If there is, get at me at ChrisWillX on all social media. |
1:23.0 | But for now, please welcome Scott Young. |
