And so a lot of the problems that we face in our work in our lives, we fail because we set up the problem the wrong way. We use the wrong mental

model to describe the problem. You always have to interrogate those assumptions

you have. So much of the knowledge that is needed to perform well is locked inside the heads of a few experts

and if you don't have access to it, if you don't have the ability to learn from other people,

that can really delay and install your own progress.

So if we're doing practice, we're doing efforts where we're trying to learn from our mistakes and work on things,

there's so many little levers, so many little knobs that we can make it a bit easier.

And if we're feeling this is extremely frustrating,

we're not making much progress.

Dialing those knobs back,

kind of hitting that difficulty sweet spot

is going to be more productive. That's Scott H. Young.

a renowned expert in the field of learning who helps people learn and think better.

He incorporates the latest research about the most effective learning methods

revealing the science behind learning. He's also the best-selling author of

Ultra Learning, a podcast host, a computer programmer, and an avid reader. So today you'll

learn one the promise and pitfalls of copying the pros to the see do feedback

model of learning and three how to build the perfect environment for learning.
