How we learn

Send us Fan Mail Why do we forget so much of what we learn… and what actually makes something stick? In this episode of How to Strive, we explore the science behind learning, memory, and behaviour change, so you can move from simply consuming information to truly becoming better. Drawing on research from Hermann Ebbinghaus, we break down why repetition, emotion and environment play a crucial role in how your brain stores and recalls information. From the forgetting curve to the power of neural pathways, you’ll begin to understand why your favourite song sticks effortlessly while most of what you read or hear disappears. This episode goes beyond theory. You’ll gain practical tools to: Retain information more effectively Turn learning into consistent habits Apply knowledge in a way that drives real change Build systems that support long-term growth If you’re serious about striving, not just learning more, but becoming more, this episode will reshape how you approach your development.
