How to Study Without Forgetting Everything

Join Felix Mercer as he reveals the science behind actually retaining what you study—because your brain's forgetting curve is hackable. Discover proven techniques like active recall, spaced repetition, and the Feynman method that transform cramming into long-term mastery.

Join host Felix Mercer as he reveals the Feynman Technique and explains why explaining concepts aloud—even to your cat—transforms passive knowledge into lasting understanding. Learn how Cornell notes, brain dumps, and teaching empty rooms create an "encoding loop" that makes forgetting nearly impossible.
