Summary
Future-proof your career and maximise your competitive advantage by learning the skill necessary to stay relevant, reinvent yourself and adapt to whatever the workplace throws your way in this essential guide.
Faced with tumultuous economic times and rapid technological change, staying ahead in your career depends on continual learning - a lifelong mastery of new ideas, subjects and skills. If you want to accomplish more and stand apart from everyone else, you need to become an ultralearner.
Scott Young incorporates the latest research about the most effective learning methods and the stories of other ultralearners like himself - among them Ben Franklin, Judit Polgar and Richard Feynman, as well as a host of others, such as little-known modern polymaths like Nigel Richards, who won the World Championship of French Scrabble - without knowing French.
Young documents the methods he and others have used 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 the nine principles behind every successful ultralearning project, and offers insights into how you can organise and execute 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 10 languages), earn the equivalent of a college degree in a fraction of the time or master multiple skills to build a product or business from the ground up, the principles in Ultralearning will guide you to success.
Critic reviews
"Ultralearning is like a superpower in our competitive economy. Read this book! It will change your life." (Cal Newport, author of Digital Minimalism and Deep Work)
"How do you master a difficult subject more quickly than by sitting through years of classes? Read Ultralearning for specific directions on structuring and absorbing complex topics in record time. This short book provides you with a step-by-step guide to becoming an ultra fast learner." (Robert Pozen, author of Extreme Productivity and Senior Lecturer at MIT Sloan School of Management)
"Ultralearning is the best book on learning I’ve ever read. It’s a beautifully written, brilliantly researched and immediately useful masterpiece. If you are looking for the magic match to help light your learning, Ultralearning is it. If you want to learn anything, do yourself a favor and read this book.

Easy listen
Well narrated, easy to follow and decent content, without going into real depth or with any enlightening new ideas.

Nice to listen for lifetime learners
This book gives new ideas for learning stuff. I liked the narrator’s voice and the storytelling with practical examples. Ultralearning is not for everyone and Scott Young emphasizises this. Easy to listen to.

The most important book ever?
Okay, the title of my review might be a bit hyperbolic but as someone who enjoys learning new stuff and needs to pivot in his career this has the potential to be a game changer for me. I'm getting a printed copy for Christmas and will probably listen again to the audio book.
Muchos gracias Scott. Yo empiezo a hablar español y hoy tengo mucho mas motivaciòn y ideas.

Impressive!
This was an easy read.
It was engaging, practical and a decent length (9 main chapters @30 mins on average for the core material).
I'm a later bloomer, always read and learning new things but mostly through books.
I have aspirations to taken on some larger projects and this book just gave me the ultra - charge I needed.
I like the fact the author is a practitioner of Ultralearning and I was inspired by the numerous examples of people who went the extra mile to achieve their learning goals.
I will have to relisten to note the key points.
Thoroughly enjoyed it and thoroughly impressed.
If you are looking to learn anything, you will do well to pick this up first.
It's worth many times more than the cost of the book!
