Episode 4094: Michael Mehlberg argues that the fastest, deepest learning comes from actively doing rather than passively consuming information. Using the story of a first flying lesson, he shows how combining reading, watching, listening, teaching, and hands-on experience leads to lasting understanding and encourages you to take control of your own learning. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://michaelmehlberg.com/blog/2015/11/10/learn-how-to-learn-yes-theres-a-best-way Quotes to ponder: "Experience is the mother of learning. Experience teaches us in a primal, direct way that no other type of learning can reproduce." "They got out there and experienced all they could about their professions early and often... their degrees and certificates came later." "When you read something new, write about it in your own words after."
