Ultralearning: Master Hard Skills, Outsmart the Competition, and Accelerate Your Career Gebundene Ausgabe – Illustriert, 6. August 2019
Now a Wall Street Journal bestseller.
Learn a new talent, stay relevant, reinvent yourself, and adapt to whatever the workplace throws your way. Ultralearning offers nine principles to master hard skills quickly. This is the essential guide to future-proof your career and maximize your competitive advantage through self-education.
In these tumultuous times of economic and technological change, staying ahead depends on continual self-education—a lifelong mastery of fresh ideas, subjects, and skills. If you want to accomplish more and stand apart from everyone else, you need to become an ultralearner.
The challenge of learning new skills is that you think you already know how best to learn, as you did as a student, so you rerun old routines and old ways of solving problems. To counter that, Ultralearning offers powerful strategies to break you out of those mental ruts and introduces new training methods to help you push through to higher levels of retention.
Scott H. Young incorporates the latest research about the most effective learning methods and the stories of other ultralearners like himself—among them Benjamin Franklin, chess grandmaster Judit Polgár, and Nobel laureate physicist Richard Feynman, as well as a host of others, such as little-known modern polymath Nigel Richards, who won the French World Scrabble Championship—without knowing French.
Young documents the methods he and others have used to acquire knowledge and shows that, far from being an obscure skill limited to aggressive autodidacts, ultralearning is a powerful tool anyone can use to improve their career, studies, and life.
Ultralearning explores this fascinating subculture, shares a proven framework for a successful ultralearning project, and offers insights into how you can organize and exe - cute a plan to learn anything deeply and quickly, without teachers or budget-busting tuition costs.
Whether the goal is to be fluent in a language (or ten languages), earn the equivalent of a college degree in a fraction of the time, or master multiple tools to build a product or business from the ground up, the principles in Ultralearning will guide you to success.

Es ist nicht so, dass man mit diesem Buch eine Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung serviert bekommt, die einem einen optimalen Pfad für beliebige Lernvorhaben vorgibt. Es bietet einem aber einen ausführlichen Überblick welche Lernstrategien sich bewährt haben, und welche vielversprechenden Ansätze die neueste Forschung auf dem Gebiet bereit stellt. Die neun Prinzipien, die sich daraus ableiten, dienen als Orientierung um seine persönlichen Weg zu finden, und typische Fehler zu vermeiden.
Für mich war zum Beispiel die Einsicht wertvoll, sich anfangs nicht zu lange mit Theorie aufzuhalten, sondern direkt (3.Prinzip: Directness) die Fähigkeit, die man meistern möchte, in Angriff zu nehmen.
Das ist, vor allem zu Beginn, nicht einfach, da man in dieser Phase schnell auf Widerstände stößt, welche den Lernfortschritt behindern. Diese Hindernisse gilt es der Reihe nach zu überwinden (4.Prinzip: Drill), um sich danach, besser gewappnet, dem Haupt-Lernpfad, widmen zu können. Damit vermeidet man, an seinem vorher definierten Ziel (1.Prinzip: Metalearning) vorbeizulernen, und sich auf die wesentlichen Aspekte des Themas zu konzentrieren.
Anhand der Fallbeispiele von Personen, welche einige der vorgestellten Prinzipien verfolgten, und auch zur Perfektion getrieben haben, wird die potentielle Mächtigkeit der Konzepte illustriert, und es zeigt sich, dass vor allem die Hingabe zum jeweiligen Lernobjekt eine wichtige Voraussetzung für außergewöhnliche Leistungen ist.
Allgemein gilt die Faustregel: Wenn das Lernen zu leicht vonstatten geht, ist es ein Indiz dafür, dass es gerade wenig effektiv abläuft. „Ultralearning“ ist kein Spaziergang, sondern es gehört eine gehörige Portion Disziplin und Durchhaltevermögen dazu, um die Früchte dieses Ansatzes ernten zu können. Gleichzeitig wird darauf hingewiesen beim Erstellen des individuellen Lehrplans darauf zu achten, sich nicht völlig zu überfordern, damit der innere Miesepeter nicht Oberwasser bekommt. Wer hier die richtige Balance findet, hat gute Chancen schnelle Fortschritte zu machen, und sich durch die Freude am neu Erlernten für das nächste Etappenziel zu motivieren.
Ich habe die Prinzipien aus dem Buch weitestgehend in meinen Lernalltag integriert, und erste Erfahrungen gesammelt. Wieviel Zusatznutzen ich daraus ziehen kann, lässt sich abschließend erst beurteilen, sobald ich meine aktuellen Lernprojekte abgeschlossen, oder aufgegeben, habe. Die ersten Eindrücke sind auf jeden Fall vielversprechend.
I can understand why he touts this as his greatest work yet.
Here's a bit of subjectiv critique: The stories of Ultralearners didn't interest me that much. I could have skipped the first 2 chapters. But I understand, establishing some credibility and motivation with some stories is necessary.
And while he gives examples for application of the principles techniques, at times I wished he gave more examples of how a concept could be implemented in different areas.
That aside, I think Ultralearning is flying kilometers above those other NYT bestseller productiviy/self improvement books, I see recommended just below this review input field. Once you've owned the skillset of improving the many aspects of improving your learning projects and grasped the power and responsibility that comes with it (too much?.. nah) you can give those other books a try.
The author gives 9 steps of quite practical advice to adapt them for your own problems / targets / goals.
Ansonsten ist es motivierend autodidaktische Lernprojekte anzugehen.
Die Kapitel 1-3 enthalten einleitende Gedanken. Kapitel 4-12 stellen 9 verschiedene Prinzipien vor, die man beim Lernen beachten sollte. Kapitel 13 führt den Leser schließlich dahin, selbst ein erstes größeres Projekt anzugehen. Kapitel 14 ist eine Art Ausblick.
Die Ziele, über die Young schreibt, sind in den meisten Fällen recht hoch gesetzt. Wer in jungen Jahren große Ambitionen hat, kann manches vielleicht direkt umsetzen. Spätestens wer Familie hat oder einer geregelten Arbeit nachgeht, muss vieles für sich herunterbrechen. Ich hätte mir gewünscht, dass Young mehr Beispiele für „normalsterbliche“ bringt. Vieles von den Prinzipien kann man aber tatsächlich auch für kleinere Projekte übertragen. Für mich war das Buch ein echter Gewinn und ich werde das ein oder andere sicher für mich persönlich umsetzen.
Spitzenrezensionen aus anderen Ländern
I read this book more from the perspective of a teacher rather than a learner. I may use the concepts at some point to do my own ultralearning projects, but since I am creating content to teach people new skills, I'm looking for ways to make my content more engaging. I want to know the best ways to teach people and help them learn what I'm teaching.
One of the things I really liked about this book was that the author provided practical information about ultralearning. He didn't just present a bunch of concepts; he gave strategies and tactics for getting results.
The Nine Principles of Ultralearning
Here are the nine principles of ultralearning, along with some things I've learned about each principle:
1. Metaleaning: First Draw a Map
Learn how to learn a topic. Find out how others who successfully learned the topic learned it. Don't just try the first tactic you discover because other tactics may help you learn more effectively.
2. Focus: Sharpen Your Knife
Focus on starting your project. Focus on sustaining progress on your project. Focus on ensuring that your learning is directed at what you need to learn to increase knowledge, not just make yourself feel good by focusing on the basics.
3. Directness: Go Straight Ahead
Learn by using the new skill you're trying to acquire in a situation similar to or exactly like the situation you would actually use the skill. For example, learning a new language is more direct when you try to use the language in conversation with someone rather than just listening to lessons or using fun apps.
4. Drill: Attach Your Weakest Point
Knowing what you really need to learn and deliberately practicing. Focus more on the areas that you are deficient in to improve your weakest skills. Practice an isolated component.
5. Retrieval: Test to Learn
Learning something doesn't do you any good if you can't remember it when you need it. Testing yourself on what you've learned is best done by doing retrieval exercises or tests rather than referring to books or content about the subject. Do your best to extract the information you are learning from your memory to help form long-term memories of the content.
6. Feedback: Don't Dodge the Punches
Find ways to get honest feedback from your learning initiatives through tests. It's easy to get feedback that stokes your ego, but this feedback does not help you grow and learn. Some feedback is noise and is not helpful. Other feedback is a signal and can help you build up the skill you're trying to learn by letting you know about things you need to improve upon.
7. Retention: Don't Fill a Leaky Bucket
Spending a lot of time learning something is almost useless if you don't retain what you've learned. Some things are essential to keep in your memory, while others can be looked up if needed in the future.
8. Intuition: Dig Deep Before Building Up
Knowing a skill so well that you can apply it to different situations. Having such a deep understanding of a subject, you know all the possibilities to solve a problem and when to use which solution.
9. Experimentation: Explore Outside Your Comfort Zone
Experimentation helps you learn because it forces you to try new things to accomplish a task or goal. Experimentation expands your knowledge and understanding of the topic in unexpected ways. Experimentation is accomplished by using different resources, techniques, or styles.
Some of my favorite highlights in the book:
• "Passive learning creates knowledge. Active practice creates skill."
• "Your deepest moments of happiness don't come from doing easy things; they come from realizing your potential and overcoming your own limiting beliefs about yourself."
• "What could you learn if you took the right approach to make it successful? Who could you become?"
• "Flow is the enjoyable state between boredom and frustration; when a task is neither too hard nor too easy."
• When learning, "Sometimes what's the most fun isn't very effective and what's effective isn't easy."
• "…enjoyment tends to come from being good at things."
• "…one of the most important educational tasks is to teach self-education."
• "It is when one learns to do something that nobody else can do that learning becomes truly valuable."
• "The better one gets, the more one recognizes how much better one could become."
Of course, there's a lot more in the book, and I have more questions than answers after reading it. Since ultralearning is a personal thing, I'm not sure I'll be able to apply it strictly to teaching others, but I've developed some ideas about how to improve my content by reading this book.
If you truly want to master a skill, you may want to check out Ultralearning and follow the book's principles, tactics, and strategies to start your own ultralearning project.
The approach is not only practical in my opinion but also a necessity in today's fast-paced world of constant change.
Any person who aspires to be a lifelong learner would surely benefit from reading this book. Kudos to the author for such an awesome book.
If you dont have any knowledg about ultralearning this is the only book you need to buy. It is a practical guide to start your own ultra learning proyect.
