Ultralearning: Master Hard Skills, Outsmart the Competition, and Accelerate Your Career by Scott Young
2.0
This is a decent place to start in the "learn how to learn" genre but it felt pretty shallow.
This book relies heavily on stories to make the author's point so I was disappointed to find a lot of repetition in the stories chosen from other work: I'm pretty sure I read the story about the chess champion in "Peak" and about Benjamin Franklin learning to write in one of Cal Newport's books.
The good news is that there is a lot of very good books, writers and researchers referenced so you can use it as a launch point for learning how to learn.
